.............Did you know?........

• Travelers to La Paz, Bolivia often get sick the moment they arrive.  La Paz is the highest city in the world.  It is 11.900 feet above sea level.
• Mothers Day was started by a West Virginia woman, Anna Jarvis, in 1907.  In 1914 President Woodrow Wilson made it official.   ( remember to love on your mommy !!)
• In July 1861, over 30 feet of water fell on the town of Cerrapunji, India  ( no I don't know how to pronounce that name...) in 30 days..........  ( and we think Seattle has it bad...)
• Pollen never deteriorates.  It is one of the few naturally secreted substances that lasts indefinitely.  ( I am sure that is SOOO encouraging to allergy sufferers everywhere...)
