became associated with
romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey
Chaucer in High Middle Ages, when the
tradition of courtly love flourished. Since
the 19th century, handwritten notes have
largely given way to mass-produced greeting
cards. The mid-nineteenth century
Valentine's Day trade was a harbinger of
further commercialized holidays in the
United States to follow. The U.S. Greeting
Card Association estimates that
approximately one billion valentines are
sent each year worldwide, making the day the
second largest card-sending holiday of the
year behind Christmas. The association
estimates that women purchase approximately
85 percent of all valentines

President's Day - Monday February 16th |
|
|
|
|
|
 |
Presidents Day is the common name for the
federal holiday officially designated as
Washington's Birthday, and both variants are
among the official names of a number of
coinciding state holidays. It is celebrated on
the third Monday of February. As the official
title of the federal holiday, Washington's
Birthday was originally implemented by the
federal government of the United States in 1880
in the District of Columbia and expanded in 1885
to include all federal offices.
As the first federal holiday to honor an
|
|
|
American citizen, the
holiday was celebrated on Washington's actual
birthday, February 22. January 1, 1971 the
federal holiday was shifted to the third Monday
in February by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act. A
draft of the Uniform Holidays Bill of 1968 would
have renamed the holiday to Presidents' Day to
honor both Washington and Lincoln, but when
signed into law on June 28, 1968 simply moved
Washington's Birthday. For more info

Part 2
Armed
with camera in hand and a fresh desire for experience, I
walked through the sleepy town of Bar Harbor Maine. It

There are many classic wine and food pairings. Zinfandel
and slightly sweet, spicy barbecue is one of them.
Zinfandel's fruity character, with its hints of spice,
pepper and moderate tannins, is especially complementary
to barbecue and other tomato-based sauces...... |

Join Advantage® on
Sunday February 15th
from 10 a.m. – 12 Noon at the
Animal Foundation at 655 N.

Advantage® Launches
Major National Campaign that
Distributes a Quarter of a
Million Dollars To Pet Owners
Nationwide to Get Pets Visiting
Veterinarians.
To kick-off the national the
Help Your Pet, Get to the Vet
campaign, Advantage® is offering
Las Vegas residents FREE basic
wellness exams for their
four-legged family members.
The campaign has a mission to
distribute more than a quarter
of a million dollars in

offset costs and concerns for
pet owners nationwide. Regular
veterinary visits and preventive
care are essential to
maintaining a pet’s health, but,
during these challenging
economic times, 37 percent
of pet owners are cutting back
on veterinary services and
facing difficult choices about
how to pay for and prioritize
their pets’ care and wellness. |
