It wasn't until 1537 that St. Valentine's Day was declared an official holiday. England's King Henry VIII declared February 14th a holiday in 1537 for the first time.
The Taj Mahal at Agra, India is perhaps the most splendid gift of love. It was built by the Mughal Emperor Shah Jahan in memory of his beautiful wife, Mumtaz Mahal. Work on the Taj began in 1634 and continued for almost 22 years. It took the labor of 20,000 workers from all over India and Central Asia.

Thanks Julie, that is a very nice thought. I did have fun over the weekend though. Two of my granddaughters went to a dance convention and competition. I made the "cookie cards from this web site for the girls and their "dance teams". I made one set with the chocolate chip cookie dough, and another with the sugar cookie dough. The girls loved them and enjoyed sharing them with their team mates. Oh and my 15 year old granddaughter rocked with her solo. ( in other words she did a great job and impressed everyone)
This is the second time I am posting this. I have no idea what happened to the other post. It will probably show up after I type this one.Thank you, Julie B. I, too, needed that. Today has not been a good day with my husband's health.
Julie, I hope you have a great Valentine's Day and the same to all our friends on this site.
Hope this one posts!!!!!!!
