Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage? he retaineth not his anger for ever, because he delighteth in mercy.

Happy Leap Day ~ A Marriage Proposal???

Hello everyone,
Happy Leap Day!
Now here is a Leap Day Fun Fact that is new to me ~
According to Irish tradition, February 29 is a special day set aside 
where women may ask for a man’s hand in marriage!
Had I known this I may have lined up some prospects!!  ;~)

Here are a few fun vintage postcards I found at


Guess I will have to wait another 4 years!

Here is a fun post you can find on AttaGirls Blog
about Leap Year's Most Eligible Bachelors
from a newspaper article from 1888
Stop by and see which one you would have chosen!

Hope you enjoyed these!
Love,
Beverly
