We are just in a rush pushing through to Winter Break which begins next weekend, Tam.
Getting my kid happily through 8th grade is a challenge as he hates his current school and can't wait to get to the other one.
Fortunately, he hsa stuff to look forward to, meantime.
If you want to know more about it, read the thread He Did It! in Banter.

We were given two hands to hold, two eyes to see, two ears to listen & two legs to walk. But why were we given only one heart? The other heart was given to another for us to find.

You know Carol, we never did much for Valentines before but ever since DH got his job where he is now...it seems to be a big thing. A few of the men would get the 'doghouse' if they brought home nothing, so DH tags along on the flower run.. Merme, I read a bit about his scholarship but never caught up on the whole new school yet.

We tend to make a big deal out of all the holidays. It would be odd to let one go by without rejoicing in it. My favorite is in October -- "Sweetest Day" when you give flowers to the sweetest person you know whether or not they are family. Merme

When I was a kid I went home after school with a girlfriend. That was rarely allowed. It was Valentine's Day and her mom had left her a list of chores to do after school. One chore was to make a meatloaf and put it in the oven. I talked her into making the meatloaf in a heart shape and putting the tomato sauce on top. She was scared to death but did it anyway. We must have been 12 years old and we both remember that day! I always think you get out of holidays what you put into them, so I like going all out even on the small ones. It cheers everyone up! And, when winter is long and times are hard, it is good to cheer folks up! Merme

Hi Cricket!
Cricket/Laura meet Tamara. She just got a pc after not having one for a year.
Sweetest Day was invented in 1922 by a philanthropist to let the poor and underprivileged know he cared about them. Theda Bara the actress, picked up on it and delivered candy to a large hospital. That's how it got started.
