Valentine’s Day is a mix of fondness, humor, thoughtfulness<br />

and kindness, sort of a potpourri that all boils down to love.<br />

Let’s take it from the boiling point and simmer this mixture<br />

for awhile, then serve it to everyone we meet. Th is way we’ll<br />

all have a cup that runneth over with love!<br />

Happy♥Day TALE OF STRANGE PEOPLE AND A BIRD<br />

Among our wonderful birds is one called a Pyrrhuloxia, it<br />

resembles a Cardinal, but has a stubby yellow bill, not so<br />

much red, rather a pale fare, also called the ‘Gray Cardinal.’<br />

Found in New Mexico, Southern Texas and Arizona.<br />

My friend of over 50 years, Rose Whyte and I, moved from<br />

Arkansas about 15 years ago, she to Glenbeulah, Wisconsin,<br />

me to <strong>Tubac</strong>, Arizona. We keep in touch weekly, her cold<br />

weather, my lovely days, our comings and goings, our ailments.<br />

Both of us live in small towns, her postmaster is Mike, as mine are Gayle and Pat, they don’t<br />

miss much and we love ‘em for it! So helpful.<br />

Rose sent me a picture of a Pyrrhuloxia from her calendar. I wrote on the back of my<br />

envelope of my return letter, “I have Pyrrhuloxia.” When the letter arrived Rose showed it<br />

to Mike and said, “I wonder what Ruthie has now, I hope it’s not serious!”<br />

Mike said he’d look it up in his medical book. Next day when he told Rose he couldn’t fi nd<br />

it, she said she’d call her doctor. She called me before she called her doctor, after explaining<br />

about the birds and much laughter, Rose and Mike are so relieved, I still love Pyrrhuloxia<br />

and I’m so happy it’s not fatal!<br />

Eat and be Merry (for tomorrow you must diet)<br />

Th ese dessert recipes are truly delicious, so easily put together, results will make you happy, oh, so happy!<br />
