April 22nd

I had a quiet and peaceful day. I appreciated it and all those who:

* called
* e-mailed
* text(ed)
* sent e-cards
* gave me cards
* bought cake for me
* made fruit salad of Mango and Lychee
* gave me wine to drink
* gave me peaches
* wished me well on my blog
* gave me jokes
* etc...

April 22nd is the birthday of Lenin.
In 1955, then Soviet Premier, Nikita Krushchev ordered April 22nd be designated a day to celebrate Communism.
In 1970, it was chosen to be Earth Day by Gaylord Nelson, one of the founders of the event.
My parish priest shares the day with me.
