Valentine's Day

The nice thing about Valentine's Day is that somethings are the same. Valentine's are mailed, cards, flowers and candy are given as gifts and everyone seems happy. When I was in school we exchanged Valentines and they used to have comic ones that were mean. I did not like them and generally got them from mean boys who thought they were very funny as they mentioned some of our faults. I never sent comic valentines. My mother had me give one to everyone in the class but I never did comic. As I became older and had boyfriends they were more interesting. Now I receive them from relatives and my church and it is still fun to get them. I guess there was a St Valentine they were named after but I am not sure of the historical facts on the holiday so I just enjoy what I receive. It is fun to get email with greetings and know you are remembered. I like the heart decorations around my house. I have a cute clown doll that sits on the bookcase and I enjoy seeing. If my memory is correct my husband Ray was making a speech and the clown was a decoration on the table. They presented it to me after the speech much to the sorrow of the woman who had made it and was planning on taking it home. I have a heart wreath on the front door and on a wall inside. I have hearts falling from my ceiling and a flag outside on the house with a Valentine greeting on it. I will eat my candy and think happy thoughts about past Valentine's Day. HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ANYONE READING THIS.
