We a real moved into Virginia Beach and I actually was married. Not a Varifold in sight at the wedding sadly but u will get back to posting in earnest! So mail order catalog day, we have Benjamin Franklin to thank for this one, quite the entrepreneur. However the day is set by the anniversary of the 1872 publication of the Montgomery Ward catalog which lived until 1985. I only know the Sears catalog and of course my own at King Propulsion!
