Happy Valentine's Day
Happy Valentine's Day my friends.
My grandma shared with me her Autograph book many years ago.
I enjoyed reading the messages. The messages are from 1945.
My grandma had a green hardcover, My Autograph Book.
The inside cover has the following message..
As the years roll on in the march of time,
Each little thought and each little line
That is written now, in these years the best,
Shall be a part of my treasure chest.
So before you write, I think you ought
To give your prose or poem a thought.
Make it happy - make it gay!
In later years of you I'll say,
"Here are my friends-I know them well,
Who have written here-in my memory dwell."
I am going to share a few of the messages. Some are the perfect messages to share with your Valentine this weekend.

♥ Yours Till Table Legs Wear Socks ♥
They already were text messaging in 1945..

♥ Girls like tulips in the park But boys like two lips in the dark ♥
Yours till the sink sinks.

The higher the mountain the cooler the breeze. The younger the couple the tighter they squeeze.
Happy Valentine's Day

Darling Valentine's messages. "Yours till the sink sinks" ha ha! Wishing you and yours a happy Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteOh boy! Some "spicy" autographs!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteHaaahahaha yours till table legs wear socks ... that's a good once except, most folks wear socks on their feet, not on their legs. But whatever. All so cute. And what a treasure you have in your grandmother's autograph book. Happy weekend, Carla. Hope you and Jeremy have something wonderful planned. xoxo
ReplyDeleteOh Carla, that is just so sweet. I especially smiled when I read that girls like tulips in the park but boys like two lips in the dark. That pretty well sums it up.lol
ReplyDeleteHAPPY VALENTINE DAY dear Carla.
Hugs,
Julia
This is perfect! Hers sounds like the autograph book I had in grade school. With the same kind of remarks. How I wish I still had it; I don't know what ever became of it. Do you know what happened to your grandma's?
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet memories Carla! Hope you have a fantastic Valentine's! Janice
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentines's Day, Carla. Life was so sweet and simple back then. Those little verses remind me of my Mother. She always loved the cute little Valentines with saying like those.
ReplyDeleteYour Grandma's autograph book made me smile, as I had one when I was a young girl too. I don't have it any more, but I remember some of the funny messages that my family wrote. I like the message from your Grandma's book, "the higher the mountain," as I live in the mountains now. ; )
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day, dear Carla.

ReplyDeleteLove it! What a fun way to share memories! Happy Valentines day, Carla!
ReplyDeleteHow much fun! Thanks for sharing this precious memory and the entries in the book with us!
ReplyDeleteAnd we all thought they were so innocent back then!! Adorable!! Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteNow that is really sweet. Thanks for sharing. Happy Valentine's Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fascinating momento!!! SO fun to see what she was thinking!!!! Im kind of trying to do so during COVID, in hopes of having grands that will ask about in the years to come! Happy heart day!
ReplyDeleteSo neat that you have this from your grandmother. Makes great sense to be cautious what you journal, cause someone in later years just may be reading. Love the cute little lines written...
ReplyDeleteSo sweet.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day!
Oh gosh, that brought back the memories!
ReplyDeleteI have been visiting blogs this cold morning and came across yours after I saw a comment you made (doggie pushed you into a ditch!) - I have a modest collection of old autograph books, and one of my own from long ago. I love the sentiments expressed in them. Thank you for sharing your grandmother's!
ReplyDeleteA wonderful Valentines Day post.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful day.
My good wishes.
All the best Jan
What a great treasure of memories to own!
ReplyDeleteThose are sweet. Hope you had a nice Valentine's Day.
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day from Indonesia.
ReplyDeleteHope that there is lots of love coloring our lives all.
Greetings.
I had an autograph book as a young teenager! Whatever happened to it? What a hoot it would be to read it again. I suppose it would be a laugh to my grandchildren today.
