Now that we are in May, many engaged couples are looking ahead to June weddings.

Going back in time, most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and they still smelled pretty good by June.

However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

one year Mom got a bunch of them that were filled with peanut butter and she ended up eating all of them before she could give them to the neices/nephews. she just shrugged it off and said she'd get extras the following year. my neice still tells that story each time we see her. they're still waiting for the extras...

No offence ~ but the stories of June being the month of Hunese the goddess or the yearly bath that followed by all the world is a crock of shice ~ girls/women and men kept themselves clean just as we/do today ~ washing daily or more often when needed ~ full immersion when possible ~ like you do when camping ~ when traveling ~ better at home ~ the world didn't wait for June or believe in the goddest juno or wait for the public baths ~ you'd might be surprised and pleased to know how Well we human/ our ladies took care of us and our families before electricity and all else was available ~ beware stories of million year prehuman before becoming as clean and smart as you and I ```

The world's oldest leather shoe found in a cave in Armenia.

A perfectly preserved shoe, 1,000 years older than the Great Pyramid of Giza in Egypt and 400 years older than Stonehenge in the UK, has been found in a cave in Armenia.

The 5,500 year old shoe, the oldest leather shoe in the world, was discovered by a team of international archaeologists and their findings will publish on June 9th in the online scientific journalPLoS ONE.

The cow-hide shoe dates back to ~ 3,500 BC (the Chalcolithic period) and is in perfect condition. It was made of a single piece of leather and was shaped to fit the wearer's foot. It contained grass, although the archaeologists were uncertain as to whether this was to keep the foot warm or to maintain the shape of the shoe, a precursor to the modern shoe-tree perhaps? "It is not known whether the shoe belonged to a man or woman," said lead author of the research, Dr Ron Pinhasi, University College Cork, Cork, Ireland "as while small (European size 37; US size 7 women), the shoe could well have fitted a man from that era." The cave is situated in the Vayotz Dzor province of Armenia, on the Armenian, Iranian, Nakhichevanian and Turkish borders, and was known to regional archaeologists due to its visibility from the highway below.

Seen this the other day, thought it was pretty good.......

An old Italian gentleman lived alone in New Jersey. He wanted to plant his annual tomato garden, but it was very difficult work, as the ground was hard. His only son, Vincent, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.

"Dear Vincent, I am pretty sad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my tomato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. I know if you were here my troubles would be over. I know you would be happy to dig the plot for me, like in the old days. Love, Papa."

A few days later, he received a letter from his son.

"Dear Papa, Don't dig up that garden. That's where the bodies are buried. Love, Vinnie"

At 4 am next morning, FBI agents and local police arrived and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day, the old man received another letter from this son.

"Dear Papa, Go ahead and plant the tomatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances. Love you, Vinnie"

Ho sentito questa storia che è divertente e potrebbe essere vero ~ chi lo sa `` `


I've heard that story ```

Husband learned that when he mistakenly messed with his wif'e's plants she ranted and nagged at him. He also learned that when he mowed one down accidently, she gave him the silent treatment.
It was worth the extra effort.
