Valentine’s Day is only evil when we don’t have one.

Valentine’s Day is only evil when we don’t have one.


Sixth grader puppy lover's Valentine.

Cards with cupids,My Sweetie's Valentine's Day Card

Sugar hearts and giggles were enough.

(Though innocent without perspective.)

Surely more benign---

---Puppy Love and Valentine's?


I hate Valentine’s Day!

Even the Pope agreed!

(Though probably not objective.)

Surely an oxymoron---

---Hate and Valentine's?

 

I love Valentine’s Day!

Even the Soaps agree!

(Though steamy and suggestive.)

Surely less foreign---

---Love---

---or at least Lust and Valentine's?

 

Valentine’s Day is only evil---

---when we don’t have one.

Don’t nurture denial.

Hug your alentine and don't let go---

---you know the one.

Well, I don't have that someone special.  It is a glorious day.  I am not spending money for no real reason for a change.

Ah, Charles!  And it's so nice when we do have one - even when it's not Valentine's Day!

Did and done.  Been ready for days.  And I got them all.  Yes, them all!  I have three females in the house for a while.  One is my mother-in-law, who got a Valentine today for the first time she can remember!
