Orchestra 9:30. Good time. Home - practiced hard all afternoon. Fran bro't Lucina home with her. Wrote letter home at Tin's dictation. After dinner had music and different games of solitaire and fortune.
IN RITA'S DAY: I don't know what kind of fortune game Rita played on this day, but Tarot cards were popular. The Rider-Waite-Smith deck was first published in 1909. It is still the most popular tarot deck. Smith was the illustrator, but since she was "just a woman" the deck is often referred to as the Rider Waite deck... but I think the illustrations are the thing that makes the neck wonderful, so much nicer than modern card below.
TODAY: There is a copyright argument about the Rider Waite Smith cards (hope I don't get in trouble by using the image!). US Games claims to have the copyright, but others say they are in the public domain because they were published before 1923. Copyright issues can be big money issues... like Winnie-the-Pooh... it's not just the books that bring in money, but toys, games, clothing!
Judy's Entry: Tuesday, March 8, 2011
I'm all better and thinking that it might have been a "bug" I caught. Today at the senior center (chair zumba class), several people told me they had the same thing. We went to get our taxes done later in the day. Starting to think about Jim and family coming from Texas. They will arrive at same time as local St. Pat's Parade. Roads will be closed so I hope they don't run into problems!
