happy valentine's day y'all!

Irene Frantti and her beautiful blooming amaryllis!

Pic from clyde, the newsman from Mrqt; a scene of his mining days in the CC.
He worked in the Centennial #2 mine in 1960-61
Shown is the man car the men rode down the shaft. Battery lights were attached to the mining hats. (you young'uns ain't got a clue)
Evelyn Helminen sent this picture of a valentine tradition in Armenia. You light a fire and jump over it. If you catch on fire, you will get married in the coming year. Usually the fires are of hay, and small, but some of the boys will light a sack of tires on fire, and jump over it after the fire has burned down a bit.
