They are easier to detect after the fact. They are uncanny encounters, brushes with the supernatural, where the presence of the Lover accompanies us in a very real way, sheltering, directing, loving, moving, giving life to our everyday existence. You can't totally explain the experience, but you leave shaken to the very depths, knowing that you have been kissed by the Divine.

1st Valentine
She's only 7 months old and has already wiggled her way into someone's heart. Actually a lot of someones, but I think it's sweet that her first roses and valentine are from her daddy.
Ivan saw his card and gift of m'n'ms from his daddy and started singing a never ending refrain of "happy birthday to me" all day. He even recorded it as a memo on the answering machine (I don't think it was done on purpose, and no, I didn't know you could record memos to self until Ivan came along). We kept telling him it was Valentine's Day and talked about love. Then I lit candles with our meal and that sealed it in his mind, it was definitely a birthday. He said: "blow?" (reffering to the candles), ate half his meal and said "cake?" Gotta love them! However he did manage to eat AND SWALLOW all his meal AND VEGETABLES with the tantalizing promise of ice cream on it's way.
Happy Valentine's day to all of you with lots of hugs and kisses. Did you do anything special?

We shoveled 16 inches of snow or so!!
That may not seem like much by Canada's standards, but, all at one time, it is a back breaker.
Ask Grandpa Ray. He's ready to head south.
Went to church. Had another lesson on another "Bad girl in the bible". Terry didn't get home until almost 9:30 (started his new route). Fixed his dinner and then it was "good night Irene".
