Did you see the lunar eclipse a couple of days ago? There is already another celestial event in the works. 2007 Aurigids - The Aurigid Meteor Shower Observing Campaign : "This very rare shower will occur again on 1 September 2007.

The Earth will be in the thick of it during the one hour centered on 04:33 a.m. PDT. The shower will be visible by the naked eye from locations in the western United States, including Hawaii and Alaska, from Mexico, and from the western provinces of Canada." Get up early with your sweetie and go see if you can catch a falling star. Here are some viewing tips: Best viewing is in high altitude locations, where scattered moonlight does not brighten the night sky. Watch towards the East and NorthEast. Check out the 2007 Aurigids website for more info.

Vintage Christmas Cards Originally uploaded by Picnic by Ellie As a married couple we spend a lot of time apart. My wife and I really only see each other after work and then it is a lot of running around. There isn't much time left for romance. Here is an idea of how to have a romantic moment even when you are not in the same location. Send an eCard. An eCard is an email you send that has an electronic greeting card.

These are fun for all sorts of occasions or just because to say "Thinking of you". Here is a sample card I sent from the Hallmark website . There are lots of free ones as well as premium ones. Some of them even let you add your own photo to personalize the card even more. Take a few moments and let your sweetheart know that even though you aren't not together at this moment,

A friend sent me a link to an article on become equal partners in marriage: LDS.org - Ensign Article - Crossing Thresholds and Becoming Equal Partners From the article: After a lifetime of practice and patience together, what will your last earthly threshold look like?

In 1921 John Haslem Clark of Manti, Utah, wrote what became his last journal entry: “The folks have been here today, but have gone to their homes. The clatter of racing feet, the laughter and babble of tongues have ceased. We are alone, We two. We two whom destiny has made one. Long ago, it has been sixty years since we met under the June trees. I kissed you first. How shy and afraid was your girlhood. Not any woman on earth or in heaven could be to me what you are. I would rather you were here, woman, with your gray hair, than any fresh blossom of youth. Where you are is home. Where you are not is homesickness. As I look at you I realize that there i

Plaza Love Originally uploaded by Puertas de Balbilonia Friedrich Nietzsche There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness. D. H.
