Valentines Day and Poisoned Roses

"POISONED ROSE: Valentine's Day flowers may be beautiful to the eye, but many growers rely more and more on chemical pesticides that leave dangerous residues "

This is a headline in the Tiapei Times February 13th, 2007 on-line edition. I used to buy roses as a Valentines Day gift and some jewlery. I loved the roses though. They good ones smelled so nice - but maybe not.

This year, Annie and I have decided to open a special bank account and each deposit a monthly amount to go towards buying a house or land in Taidong. We'll also go for a walk and have a nice dinner. Pretty much a normal day except for the account.
