Valentine's Sweetness....

Jean 1 writing ...

Remember when Valentines Day included a heart covered shoe box with a slit in the top? You spent the nights before the party cutting out construction paper hearts and filling out the little "to and from" fields on your Garfield, star wars or strawberry shortcake cards. You picked carefully to make sure that you gave the "To My Pal" cards and "Have a Nice Valentine's Day" cards to those you didn't really like and gave the "Roses are Red" ones to your friends.
Flash forward 25 years...you're in Target and your husband calls.
Hubsand says "What are you doing?"
I answer "Buying valentines for the kids for church and school."
Husband responds "Great! While you're there buy yourself a card from me."
I laugh. I think. I buy myself a card. And then, after prompting from my 2nd daughter, I decided that Husband would also want to buy me a box of truffles. A big box.
When I got home I left the card and chocolates on the bedside table for Husband to discover.
Of course, upon finding them, he cracks up and asks, "Did you write a poem too?"

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone.
