La traviata

What a wonderful experience! Went to the opera last night and enjoyed the performance of La traviata by Verdi. He wrote the opera based on the story The Lady of the Camellias (La dame aux Camélias) by Alexandre Dumas. It’s a tragic story and it reminds us of that life isn’t always fair. However, the opera is great and the singers were fabulous. Now I can’t wait for the next performance of the opera house in my hometown, or somewhere I might be travelling in the world.

Valentine’s Day

Today is a great day to do something for a special friend or sweetheart.
This is a day of red roses, pink and red hearts, chocolate and flowers. 

How this Day started is not really known but here is one story:

Saint Valentine is said to have lived in Rome during the third century. That was a long time ago. During this time Rome was ruled by an emperor named Claudius. Many people did not like the ruler.

Claudius was having trouble getting men to serve in his army. He felt many men would not volunteer to join because they did not want to leave their wives and families. He thought that if men were not married, they would join the army. So Claudius passed a new law which did not allow any more marriages. Most people thought this law was cruel. Valentine, who was a minister, did not support the new law.

Even after Emperor Claudius passed the law, he kept performing marriage ceremonies secretly. One night he was caught and thrown in jail and told he would be put to death.

Many young people came to visit Valentine. One was the daughter of the prison guard. On the day of his death Valentine wrote a note to the daughter signed “Love from your Valentine”. This was on February 14, 269 A. D.

 Happy Valentine’s Day!        Here is an idea for a chocolate dessert

Priceless

This picture says more than 1000 words. Just priceless

THIS IS TOO SWEET FOR WORDS!!!
A six-year-old boy told his father he wanted to marry the little girl across the street. The father, being modern and well-schooled in handling children, hid his smile behind his hand.

“That’s a serious step,” he said. “Have you thought it out completely?”
“Yes,” his young son answered. “We can spend one week in my room and the next in hers. It’s right across the street, so I can run home if I get scared of the dark.”

“How about transportation?” the father asked.

“I have my wagon, and we both have our tricycles,” the little boy answered.
The boy had an answer to every question the father raised.

Finally, in exasperation, his dad asked, “What about babies? When you’re married, you’re liable to have babies, you know.”

“We’ve thought about that, too,” the little boy replied.
“We’re not going to have babies. Every time she lays an egg, I’m going to step on it!”
