Hello LilyOnTheLam.Com Readers:
Happy Friday Everyone!
Thursday morning, I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and was very happy that I still had 2 hours more to sleep. As I fell asleep I had thoughts about Charles "Sparky" Schulz's comic strip "Peanuts" and its star Snoopy. The weirdest things pop up in my head while I am falling asleep. But perhaps this wasn't such an odd coincidence.
When I was in Jacksonville last month, I went to Jacksonville Landing for some sightseeing and shopping. There was an adorable toy store called "The Toy Factory" that had the cutest merchandise.
In the corner was a charming duo that caught my eye ...
Old School Snoopy and Woodstock! And when you squeeze them they play the "Peanuts" theme song. My sister's paternal grandfather always sent her Peanuts cards for holidays. Peanuts creator Charles Schulz is also from my home state of Minnesota. So to me, Snoopy means family. Although I live in a house of cats, Snoopy will always be my favorite dog.
The National Cartoonists' Society posthumously gave Charles "Sparky" Schulz a Lifetime Achievement Award. On Saturday, May 27, 2000, a large group of comic strips all featured Peanuts or Charles Schulz in their comic strip. (See them here.) I had never seen these comic strips before so looking at each one was like a trip down memory lane from my childhood days reading the Peanuts comic strip. I wanted to include a link to them here on my website for others to enjoy as I did.
Happy Friday, Readers!
