• Mats must be crescent board quality in any color;
• Each piece must be labeled according to the instructions (see link below);

Four Most Important Lessons of History

Four Most Important Lessons of History
1. Whom the God's would destroy they must first make mad with power.
2. The mills of God grind slowly, yet the grind exceedingly small.
3. The bee fertilizes the flower it robs.
4. When it is dark enough you can see the stars.
