M for midshipman, love the word choice. I always enjoy a piece of Grandma Moses Americana.
Highly unexpected M words today, I would never have thought about midshipmen.
Great stamps and information and of course the last one, is my favorite of all!
Grandma Moses' work is new to me. I'm going to look for more information about!
the Grandma Moses is a really cute one, and a proof that you are just never too old to start doing anything
Lovely stamp from Grandma Moses. So very bright and colourful
It's interesting to see the uniforms on the first stamp.
Nice picks Bob. Isn't it amazing that Grandma Moses accomplished so much after starting so late in life?
