February is interwoven into our extended family by three ceremonies. First, my husband and I celebrated our 36th Wedding Anniversary on February 4. Next comes Valentine's Day, February 14, the day for love. It's also the date when my daughter Linda and her husband married sixteen years ago in a beautiful ceremony in Boston.
This is for the happy couple and their two children -- who live a kind and gentle life just a few miles from us. Have a glorious Valentine's Day and a wonderful anniversary celebration.
