Here you will always find the American flag

waving and the American eagle flying.

This Saturday is Valentine's Day.

Although a Christian bishop

 named Valentine was martyred on February 14 in A.D. 271

 there is nothing in this legend to account for the custom of

 choosing a sweetheart on this day.

By the early 1600s, it was a popular custom to send

 handmade valentines (gifts or greetings) to your

 sweetheart; about 1800, the first commercial cards

 appeared. Cards were usually sent anonymously. As early

 as 1822, an English official reported having to hire extra

 postal workers on this day.

Today be the reason someone

feels loved.

Every tomorrow has two handles.

We can take hold of it with the handle of anxiety

or the handle of faith.

- Henry Ward Beecher



Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow,

it only saps today of its joy.

- Leo Buscaglia






























A window that touches the floor?

Or is it a step?

Interesting.





Piano's always seem to get left behind.














These sure looks awfully good.





Another neat idea for decorating an old sled.

Wow, what a neat setting for the occasion.












My page would not be complete without

a Valentine cake!






This appears to be a Valentine tree.

Very festive.

It has turned very cold here in Ohio. But not a lot

of snow as some have had and are having. I once

again want to thank everyone for your patience

while I have been away mending. I will be

publishing pages now as my time permits.

I am glad you all are my friends!

You took the time, thank you!

What a wonderful feeling

this can be!

I wish you a good weekend. Saturday filled to the

brim with love and hoping Sunday will hold many

blessings for you. 

And now till another time, be safe in

all you do. Be aware of everything and

everyone around you at all times. A

very good habit .... take care!
