I confess to a passion for old-fashioned images, especially Edwardian and Art Deco. I am a nostalgiac--like a maniac, only my passion is for vintage things. Retro pictures reminds me of gentler, maybe happier times. I'm sure I've greatly romanticized it. "Back then" reality was little like what I envision. But it's a nice thought. With Memorial Day coming up, why not print retro pictures and make them into greeting cards for lonely old folks? For seniors, patriotic holidays aren't about beer-drinking and game-watching day. Memorial Day is sacred, recalling deceased loved ones. Here are printables to share. Free Printable Vintage Easter Greeting Cards, Retro Nostalgic Clipart

Cinco de Mayo Fiesta, Latino Games, Crafts, Food, Gifts
Cinco de Mayo--"fifth of May" in Spanish--celebrates the Mexican victory at the Battle of Pueblo. It's not the Mexican independence day though it sounds like the U.S. 4th of July. My Latino friends say Cinco de Mayo is no big deal in Mexico and Spanish speaking places. It's more American Hispanic and sadly sometimes stereotypical. Well, that's happened to lots of ethnic holidays. Look at St Patrick's Day! We love to party on holidays? Or in this case, fiesta. Here's are kid-friendly Cinco de Mayo games, crafts, lesson plans, cultural activities, gifts, prizes and food! Kid-Friendly Cinco de Mayo Fiesta With Latino-Inspired Games, Crafts, Food
