Co-hosting You're the Star Blog Hop Bonus Week

I am thinking of all of you in the Midwest and those who are getting snow this week.  I can remember planting my beloved garden just to have the late Wisconsin winter hit again and wipe it all out.  Even though I knew that was a high probability when planting I was so sick of winter I could resist the temptation of those beautiful spring days.  So I am with you all in heart as you look at your beautiful frozen peonies and lilacs.

Before we start the linkup here is a post from my blog this week

Postcard Memories - Ships

Transportation themed postcards are very collectible.  I love planes, trains and automobiles but we can never forget ships.  Americans have romanticized long ocean voyages for hundreds of years.  From the Titanic to Carnival Cruise Lines there is nothing like the open sea.

This collection is all about ships and the dream of what is on the other side of the pond. And one ship that is an example of when the trip is more like the Titanic rather than our modern cruises.
