VTT&First,Fifth,Forever

Since Coloradolady is our hostess for both of these blogs, I am combining mine today. Her Vintage Thingies Thursday fell on her First,Fifth,Forever day. Both of these blogs are very interesting. Check them out at http://coloradolady.blogspot.com.

This little restaurant is the Vintage portion of my post. This place was established by an Ole Miss student in his family's circa-1856 Commissary, The Hollywood Cafe. It offered down-home meals in a quaint, relaxed atmosphere. Legend has it that the fried dill pickle was invented in this cafe.
The Hollywood Cafe has been a tradition in the Delta since 1969. The original Cafe was destroyed by fire in 1984. The restaurant reopened a year later at this present location in another rustic, turn-of-the-century building.


I had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant recently honoring a couple's 61st wedding anniversary. One thing for sure, when checking out places to eat, it is kinda like a book. You cannot judge a book by its cover nor a restaurant as to its outside appearance. This Hollywood Cafe is southern dining at its best! I did give this senior couple an anniversary card and treated to them dinner here.

Two of my dearest senior friends celebrated a 76th and 80th birthday May l. We have been friend since 1964. Circumstances caused them to move to Arkansas several years ago. We have kept in touch. I sent him this card and her a nicer one. They are going to be surprised when they open their cards and find the dollar bill.

I have cards to mail to Beth, in Wisconsin, who will be 65 May 9th. Also, Mabel from California, who will be in her 80's on May 24.

Along with my senior honorees, there were a few more important dates to remember. One was our own blogging hostess, Suzanne (Coloradolady) and her husband, Steve, for their 25th wedding anniversary, May 4th. Since you reached the silver level of marriage, may the rest of the way be paved in gold.

Another very important 10th anniversary was May 5th. My grand daughter and her husband made it ten years. I am so pleased and blessed having them in my life. This is the card I sent them.


I am big on buying and sending cards. I mailed several other cards. Three thank you and numerous Mother's day greetings.

SPECIAL SENIOR CLOSING

This Texas senior was pleasantly surprised this week. One of my blogging friends, Elizabeth from Sweden, sent me this greeting. She was on vacation in Amsterdam and thought of me. Go to her web site http://petiteyekiss.blogspot.com to see her actual photos from that beautiful place. Blogging friends just cannot be beat!
