These are random musings of my life journey, the people, animals, places, and events which have woven, and continue to weave, a tapestry that is me. We all know there is no real destination, only the ongoing experiences which blend together, creating the trail. Each step gives a glimpse of what is to come, without allowing me to see the end result. It is exciting. I have a home base that is mine, that gives me a place to rest. This is it. This is where my heart is, no matter where I journey...................

The REAL storyof Valentine's Day

I'm posting this today to allow you time to recover by tomorrow!  chuckle!

Do you know about the origins or Valentine's day? It ain't all hearts and flowers!  Check this out. Now you can go back to normal ideas about the romantic aspects of the day. If you want to, of course!

Oh, OK! I'll help you a little by teasing your sense of humor ....





Now .... go forth and laugh and give out hugs!

  5. Eek! Glad I'm celebrating in this century. Loved the cartoon, especially the cynical little Cupid. Thanks for sharing your winter wonderland in the previous post, both indoors and out. And you are doing great to post so often while meeting the challenges of a new position. Happy V Day!

  7. Not very auspicious beginnings for the festival.
    My Valentine's Day is nothing like either the cartoon nor the origins, I'm glad to say.

  8. Hi Lyn,

    We're finally a little settled here in Nevada. At the moment, I'm able to piggyback off someone else's Internet. I'm considering doing something else, but this is cheaper.

    Hope all is going well with you.

    ~hippo hugs~
