I was going through some of the hundreds of photographs my Aunt gave me a few weeks ago and came across this series from an afternoon my grandparents spent together before they were married in the 1940's. They were both teenagers at that point.

I guess they were a little hungry in this one...
---I was originally going to make this post today about my ex-wife and I, but time got away from me and if you are going to cover a significant part of your life it shouldn't be rushed. So I will possibly do that tomorrow or next Wednesday.

The X's that people sometimes put at the end of letters or notes to mean a kiss (not to be confused with the mark X used by people unable to sign their name) actually started back in the Middle Ages when Lords would sign their names at the end of documents to other important people. It was originally a cross that they would kiss after signing to signify that they were faithful to God and their King.
Louis XVI of France and Napoleon both suffered from ailurophobia--fear of cats.---

An old wives tale on the Bee---
If a bee enters your home, it's a sign that you will soon have a visitor.
If you kill the bee, you will have bad luck, or the visitor will be unpleasant.
A swarm of bees settling on a roof is an omen that the house will burn down.

I have a similar experience with blogging ideas. I wake up in the middle of the night with a great idea and jot notes. In the morning, my reaction is usually, "what was I thinking!"
Thanks also for the historical note on "loves and kisses". I had not heard that.
so...

Hope you're not feeling too bad after last night. Did you delete that post? ;)
That's fascinating about the X's at the end of letters. I use to use them as a kiss sign, but I added the O's to them too (which supposedly signified a hug).
*smooch*
people looked so much more dapper then; I wish more dressup came back into fashion.
We once had a nest of bees under the house. We sprayed as many bees as we could, but they eventually left on their own. I wonder what that is supposed to mean. :)
And regarding "bees", I guess it's a good thing that the bee is the logo for my PR firm... Cuz damn it, if there are a number of my worker drones/employees at your concert/event, then that means it's on FI-YAH!!!
