Gifts from the Heart for Valentine's Day


We loved with a love that was more than love. 
From that great wordsmith Edgar Allan Poe

Come live in my heart and pay no rent.
So says Samuel Lover  

What the world really needs is more love and less paper work. 
Wise words from the immortal Pearl Bailey

Love is metaphysical gravity. 
According to Scientist/ Inventor extraordinaire R. Buckminster Fuller 
 BUT
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love.
Rebuts the Uber-Gravitational Scientist Albert Einstein

Do you remember Buster Brown shoes? I do. I also remember watching the Buster Brown TV show ... Smilin' Ed's Gang and later Andy's Gang. The shoes were "special." Back in those days I went to Catholic school and the nun's required us to wear shoes ... I mean real shoes ... "oxfords" we called them. Mom bought us Buster Brown shoes 'cause they would last the whole year! The advertising line for Buster Brown was: Hi! I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe.  That's my dog Tige. He lives in there too!

The graveyard surrounding the church dates back to the earliest days of ...

Rosaries with beads of crystal, sterling silver, olive wood and molded glass.  We even have a few that have reliquaries included.
