A neighbor down in Florida sold those beautiful candles and, of course, Joann and I bought quite a few. Becky has sent me many also. I always think of that Lady that said if she had her life to live over she would burn the candles she had instead of letting them melt in storage.  That will never be the case up here. It seems the little critters that roam the neighborhood at night sometimes come in contact with a Transformer and there go our lights.
I hate the dark. I have night lights all over and if they go out during the night I have two Lanterns and a Flashlight.
There was one time I would not burn a candle more than a few minutes. Adith, a dear friend, gave me a Candle to burn on New Years Eve at the turn of the Century. It is shaped with the numbers 2000.
Joann, Bill, James and Veronica and I were all together to see the new year in. We lit the candle just before midnight and I insisted we blow it out 15 minutes after the new year came in. James wanted me to let it burn down but for some crazy unknown reason I said "no we will light it each year until it is done".  Well, every time I see that Candle in my China Cabinet I regret not letting it burn down. We have not taken it out since the year 2000 came in. I am sorry James. Wish I had listened to you then.Â
Maybe tomorrow I can tell you why I don't like the dark.

Love and prayers from here to there
