What a beautiful day that was, on the day I married Mr. Right.  I just wanted to take a moment to be grateful for all I have been blessed with.   




Have a great weekend!

Ralph Waldo Emerson
 
Born: 25 May 1803

• Birthplace: Boston, Massachusetts
• Died: 27 April 1882
• Best Known As: A founder of Transcendentalism

Ralph Waldo Emerson’s father was the seventh in an unbroken line of ministers dating back to Puritan days, and after attending Harvard Emerson himself became a Unitarian minister. After the death of his young wife and two elder brothers, Emerson began to doubt his faith and in 1832 resigned his ministry. Eventually he settled in Concord, Massachusetts, where he lived most of the rest of his life thinking, writing and speaking. Emerson remains important in American history as a founder of the school of thought known as Transcendentalism. Its chief features were a reliance on intuition over cold scientific reason, a belief that the natural world held spiritual truths, and an optimistic view of the human spirit. Emerson was known as a stirring speaker, eventually earning the sobriquet “the Sage of Concord.”

My husband’s aunt and uncle are celebrating their 65th anniversary tomorrow.  Their daughter sent out a mailing to their friends and family, hoping to generate 65 cards arriving in their mailbox on their anniversary.  Here is my contribution.  I hope they are flooded with warm wishes on their special day!  They got married in a time when people married for life, unlike today.  I am blown away by their successful union!

Winston Churchill

The English statesman and author Sir Winston Churchill led Britain during World War II (1939–45) and is often described as the “savior of his country.” Sir Winston Churchill’s exact place in the political history of the twentieth century is, and will continue to be, a subject of debate. But his strong personality and forceful determination made him a popular figure during the war years.
