my dad's favorite quote
when i discovered neither snow, my heart leapt. i knew just the person who'd appreciate the vintage stamps matched with the incredible penmanship by lovely mara. i sent my pops this card for valentine's day. mara customized it with his favorite quote, penned so elegantly.

That's a wonderful quote. I haven't thought of it in years...and I mean years. I remember a high school teacher using it (but giving Harry Truman the credit) and I was very taken with it. I'm glad you brought it back to me today.
