Valentine’s Day

Are you doing anything special for Valentine’s Day?

I made a Zentangle® with heart shapes…that’s about the extent of my extra activity this year. I will be traveling tomorrow….celebrating the return home rather than Valentine’s Day.

I can remember in years past ---

Creating paper bags to receive valentines from classmates in elementary school; it was the tradition to give Valentines to everyone in the class whether you liked them or not!

My grandfather buying a big heart-shaped box of chocolates of us (the 4 granddaughters)

Helping my daughter to decorate my husband’s piano with red and white curly ribbons and hears

Buying a coffee mug with hearts (which we still use occasionally)

Sometimes we have used it as an excuse to go out to eat….but most years we choose the 13th rather than the 14th because then it becomes one of the monthly wedding anniversaries for us.
