Did You know Valentine's Day was first associated with romantic love in the circle of Geoffrey Chaucer in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished. By the 15th century, it had evolved into an occasion in which lovers expressed their love for each other by presenting flowers.
The earliest surviving valentine is a 15th-century rondeau written by Charles, Duke of Orléans to his wife, which commences:
Je suis desja d'amour tanné
Ma tres doulce Valentinée...
At the time, the duke was being held in the Tower of London following his capture at the Battle of Agincourt, 1415.
The earliest surviving valentines in English appear to be those in the Paston Letters, written in 1477 by Margery Brewes to her future husband John Paston "my right well-beloved Valentine".
Again this year we are planning something different for our tree. We want to create three Honor Trees. One for Mother's Day, Memorial Day and Father's Day. We would like to have everyone send us a picture of the person they would like to honor along with the name of that person. Make sure that the picture you send is a copy because the pictures can not be returned. Send picture to : Rawhide Travel and Tours Inc, 6008 West Bell Rd # F105, Glendale, Arizona 85308-3793.
