Ideals Friendship 2000 (Ideals Friendship, 2000)

"You meet your friend, your face brightens-you have struck gold." With this quote from Kassia, "Ideals Friendship" begins its celebration of friendships new and old, all wrapped in the beauty of August and September days. Take a trip to Victorian America, first by visiting the quaint town of Rugby, Tennessee, in "Traveler's Diary," and then by learning about starting your own collection of vintage clothing. Read the story behind legendary printmakers and friends Currier and Ives: and try your hand at hand-tinting you own family photos with our "Handmade Heirloom" article. As the hazy summer ends, enjoy poetry that recalls days spent canning the season's harvest; and brighten your pantry shelves with our readers' own canning recipes. Then prepare for the golden days of autumn with poetry by Robert Frost, prose by Mark Twain, and a delightful essay by Marjorie Holmes, who recalls the childhood pleasures of a backyard swing. A farewell to summer, a welcome to autumn, stunning photography, delightful memories-all have been gathered for you within the pages of "Ideals Friendship". You'll be sure to invite both your oldest friend and your newest to share in the celebration.
