Monday Mystery...

...Solved! And you probably never even wondered about this.

You've probably never wondered about the meaning of a deck of cards. 

52 cards for 52 weeks in the year.

2 colors for day and night 

4 suits for the 4 seasons and 13 weeks per season.

Twelve court cards representing the 12 months.

The cards are an agricultural calendar that told us about the weeks and the seasons.

With each new season, it was King's week, followed by Queen's week, Jack's and so on 

When the weeks changed seasons, we started over with a new color.

Jokers were used in leap years.

Now you know the answer to the mystery you never knew you didn't know!

A special shout out to our baby girl on her birthday! She was just 6 weeks old when we moved to Nashville in 1985. For all of our moves prior to that, Music City is all she's known! 

Here she is--Mindy snuggled in her theater playbill throw we gave her last year for Christmas.

We've postponed getting together for her birthday as she and Justin are still quarantining from us after being in Florida for Thanksgiving. Oh well, that gives us something to look forward to.
