Perpetual Calendar
I've been wanting to find a perpetual calendar that would tell me which years would fit the calendar year of 2005. I save my old calendars which I think are beautiful or cute or funny, and for many years I got a cloth calendar which was supposed to become a dish towel the following year. Instead, I saved them and use them again when the dates match the current year.
My husband had a handy, dandy card that told which of the 14 yearly calendars would fit the years between 1900 and 2000. Every year about this time he would look up which years would fit the coming new year. I could look through my calendars and see if any that I saved would be from the right year for the incoming year. And then we went past 2000. I've never seen another handy, dandy card like that for years past 2000.
Tonight I got out the 1999 year almanac and we found that the calendar for 2005 is the same as the calendars in the years 1966, 1977, 1983, and 1994. I had a cloth calendar for 1967 but not 1966, and some of the other calendars just missed the year by one also. However, I had one 1977 calendar which I hope to use somewhere. Someday soon I will get out my paper calendars and see if I have some of them which may fit 2005.
