Valentine was a Priest in Rome at the time of Claudius and was put to death around 270 AD. He was later made a Saint and we have recognized February 14 as a day of expressing love and called it St. Valentine's Day ever since. I found the day being one in which Peace and Harmony seemed to prevail. We had a good 1st Impressions meeting this morning, a quick coffee with the "boys" and a trip to Lincoln where Elaine and I both saw Dr. Mausolf. Our eye checkups were good. We went to Olive Garden for lunch and then did some shopping for Elaine at Dillard's where she took advantage of their sales. Elaine had baked her special white coconut cake which we had for dessert after supper. It was a good Valentine's Day. Now we are enjoying a NET 1 program on Nebraska's "Wildcat Hills". We had the pleasure of visiting them a few years ago when we were out there for a Nebraska Soil & Water Conservation Society meeting. We had more contact with others today than normal and all were very pleasant. If St. Valentine was able to do this for us, we are most indebted. However, I'm reminded of the old story about a Realtor showing a home to clients and being asked if it was a friendly neighborhood. He asked what their old neighborhood was like and heard it was a very friendly one. He then told them they would also find the new neighborhood equally friendly.
