Not a Valentines gift, but a gift from a neighbor showing appreciation for help and work done by Philip. It was a delightful sight on our breakfast table this morning.
The heart was regarded in Ancient Egypt as the organic motor of the body and also the seat of intelligence, an important religious and spiritual symbol.

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some humor, and some style.

Why do they say single file line? Google says: When American Indians walked in a group, each person walked in the footsteps of the person in front so that they could not be counted by the enemy.
Got behind in my daily posts and catching up. This post takes me current today, the 12th.
