Valentine's Day

I know that it's a Hallmark holiday and that we're encouraged to purchase chocolates and flowers—but despite that I love Valentine's Day.

To my Valentine, and you know who you are, I love you 365 days a year. Today I'll just open the windows and shout it out so all can hear. Yes, I'll buy a card and a red carnation to go with the two red roses. We'll share a wee bit of chocolate and go out to eat with friends.

Later we'll recall our first Valentine's Day—I cooked a Greek dish and you bought a huge helium balloon.

Happy Valentine's Day.
