            Good morning and happy valentine’s day, we hope you have a nice and enjoyable day.

            It is above freezing outside but it is still cold so I will try to stay inside out of the cold weather. I do not need to take the kids to school today, they are out of school today and Monday. Now my favorite wife and I did very little yesterday although we did leave the house for a few minutes to get a cup of coffee for me, and a glass of tea for her. Back at home we stayed inside out of the cold.

            I think the week of nice warm weather we had kind of spoiled me. I don’t want this cold weather and I am anxious for the real spring to arrive, although I am not looking forward to a hot summer.

            I will attempt to leave the homestead today and take a couple valentine cards to the grand kids. My favorite wife usually goes to town on Fridays and she normally don’t want me to go with her as she considers me as being in the way.

            If it would warm up some I might work on some scrap wood bird houses, but only if it is warm enough.

            I was thinking about a word and how the word can be adjusted. The word is arm. Now most people have two arms, one left and one right. When we add to this word, we get different meanings, like adding pits, we get armpits. Yes, armpits are connected to one’s arm so that makes sense.

When we add a “y” to the word arm we get army. So, one letter changes the entire meaning of the word. We can add “or” to the word arm and we get armor. Now I assume in the olden days they carried metal shields on their arm and that is where armor came from. If we add “ory” to arm we get armory which has nothing to do with your arm.

Consider another word Armageddon, how does that have anything to do with one’s arm? Ok, I will stop with the words, and you can google the word Armageddon, if you do not know the meaning.

            We hope you have a good and safe day, do not eat too much valentine candy.

Armistice = truce.

May today be better than your best day, but not as good as tomorrow!
