...an extra array of candles.

I'm into candles. Scented candles. They not only give a nice scent, but a warm glow to the house. Today I have 8 wicks lit. Only 3 candles. But one has 4 wicks, another 3, and another the more traditional 1. I have them all burning on the kitchen sink. Far away from anything flammable. Later tonight, I'll turn off all the electric lights. And watch the flickering candles. Candles remind me of religious and spiritual experiences. I've gone into churches with hundreds of lit candles. Very nice. An Italian friend tells me that on Monday in Italy it's a religious holiday in honor of the Virgin Mary. So I'll light an extra array of candles to celebrate. --Jim Broede
