Columbus Day...

I hope all of you in the states here had a great Columbus Day......it was a no mail day.....whoo hoo...no mail is good mail!!!

I'm going to share a bit of info about Chris Columbus....on 1492 as we say Columbus sailed the ocean blue....but did you know why and on what day that was? It was around the ninth of Av and the reason Columbus left on that day was because he was Jewish and the Jews were kicked out of Spain on that day as were many of his crew.....something they don't teach us in history class!


Hats off to you C. C. for discovering America!
