   The late Valentine's Day post.
I hope everyone had a halfway decent day Monday. My day was okay. Mom got chocolate for us.


Valentine's Day is one of those holidays that is great if you're not single. We started a tradition after Valentine's Day 1996. That year my parents decided they weren't going to get each other cards. I was working downtown here in Kingsley that year and got a phone call from my brother-in-law saying my Dad was at the clinic... he had a heart attack! Yep... a heart attack on Valentine's Day, how weird is that? Later at the hospital, those of us that live in the area were all there. Mom had some papers in hand. We looked at them and they were pictures of Dad's heart. We told him he was supposed to give her a card that has a representation of his heart, not actual pictures of his heart. The hospital staff at first was shocked that we were telling him off, but when they realized what we had said, they all laughed. It's been nine years and we still laugh about it. And the tradition was born that day: one of us kids has to ask Dad if he got Mom a Valentine card.

Since he's been laid up with his back, he's not been able to get out to buy a card. But I helped him make one on the computer this morning. Well, he did all the work and I sort of picked the picture out.


Now it's time for bed. I visited sites before posting tonight and got through most of you that updated! Yay me!

Laters!
