calendars

i do love me a good calendar.  the old fashioned kind.  here are some really old fashioned ones i've collected.  I love reading about old appointments and reminders.  A glimpse into a long ago life.   This one is just a notepad, but, appropriate for to-do tuesday... it's got a "to-do" list!  ...."A coat for ma" ~so sweet!!  the scribbles were added by my 4 year old..

 

This one is from the 60's and is complete with recipes and household tips~priceless!

I've actually tried this doughnut recipe and it was super easy and mmm they were good!! I substituted coconut oil for the lard, so i'm sure they were even healthy:) 

This one is from 1913, 100 years ago!!!!!!! 

Look what was in there!  A map of Indian territories, information on the Panama Canal and a list of the worst Sea disasters!!!  Handy stuff!

(yellow=indian reservations!) so cool!

who wouldn't want to know this!:)

I also save all our old family calendars.  It's bittersweet when you look back at all the "important" things you did years ago..and it makes me feel like I am not throwing away a piece of their history.

Ok, now if i can only find my own to-do list......
