OK, today is the big football day. My team isn't playing, so
boo hoo boo hoo. Neither are a lot of teams you guys love. So, I'm rooting for
the Broncos. I like and respect Peyton Manning. He's a good guy. Not fond of the
SeaChickens. So, we'll see.... Making taquitos and a guacamole dip ..... deviled
eggs. Will have pictures tomorrow.
"They" say one glass a day is good for you. "They" never said how many
times you fill it.

the time being, until Monday, but will probably be going home then. Jeannie and
Bill saw her yesterday and said she looked great .... for going through a big
surgery that is wonderful, but she's a pretty lady anyway! God Bless you Dee, we

Candlemas, The Feast of Purification
On
the Modern calendar - February 2nd
On
the Julian calendar - February 15th
Candlemas
is the last holiday of the Christmas season. Candlemas is a Christian
celebration, or festival, of the Feast of Purification of the Virgin Mary. It
also celebrates the annual blessing of candles used by the church.
According
to Jewish customs, women were considered "unclean" after the birth of a child.
The unclean period lasted 40 days after the birth of a son, and 60 days after
the birth of a daughter. During this period, they were not allowed into the
temple to worship. At the end of this time, the woman was brought to the temple
and "purified" in a ceremony. After the birth of Christ, the Virgin Mary was
purified on Candlemas or the Feast of Purification.
On
Candlemas, candles used during the year are blessed. In Christian churches,
candles represent Jesus Christ as the light, the truth and the way.
