Superstition Mountains of Arizona.....

The superstition Mountain Range in Central Arizona is filled with legends. One of these is about the richest gold mine in the world that is hidden here. it is so rich in fact, that it is believed that nuggets of Gold will fall if you just tap the walls of the mine!

Jacob Waltz, known as the Dutchman', made this mine famous. The Dutchman was actually a German miner who dedicated much of his life to searching the Superstition Mountains for gold. Apparently, he found quite a load, and he just walked into the nearest town with quantities of rich gold ore. He finally took the secret of his mine to the grave in 1891. But even today, treasure hunters went through the mountains searching for 'lost Dutchman Mine.'

Similarly, a man called John Marshall found a piece of gold in a California river on 1848. The news of his discovery sent people from all over the world rushing to California to search for gold, and this became known as 'the California Gold Rush'.

Marriage !!

Last few days i was busy in my cousin sister's marriage, where i found that "marriage is not an easy job to do....." hey!! not for the bride and bridegroom but for the people who are making it possible. Family, friends and relatives, really its a very laborious job and i was so tired these days that i couldn't even had stamina to see my blog. she got married on 14-feb and after that we (me and my other two cousin sisters ) were busy in managing all the things on track. well few jokes we recalled and managed the whole task with fun:-

- I married Miss right; I just didn't know her first name was Always.

- A man was complaining to a friend: I HAD IT ALL-MONEY, A BEAUTIFUL HOUSE, THE LOVE OF A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN, THEN POW! IT WAS ALL GONE. WHAT HAPPENED, asked his friend He says MY WIFE FOUND OUT.

- There was this man who muttered a few words in the church and found himself married. A year later he muttered something in his sleep and found himself divorced.

- When a man marries a woman, they become one--the trouble starts when they try to decide which one.

** If people live a difficult marriage, is because they expect this to work automatically. They think that will be merged without any effort on their part. Unfortunately not. The marriage must be created. **
