CELEBRATING VALENTINE'S DAY.....Day Eight

Day Eight of Fourteen Days of Valentine's.  I have enjoyed each day.

Instead of a book of love poems, my hubby decided to do an alternative gift.  He purchased two romance novels which he had sent to my Kindle.  Although I'd enjoy reading a book of love poems, his thought was I'd enjoy a nice light hearted romance for a change of pace for my reading pleasure.  

Only time will tell if he was correct or not.  Most of my reading is generally women's literature (not specifically romance) or mystery/suspense. 

Yesterday we also remembered others in our celebrating. We gave little Valentine's cards and gift to the daughters of one of our favorite bartenders. For the bartender we gave her a valentine as well as a basket containing homemade salsa and chips from our favorite Mexican restaurant. To others we came in contact with, they received a little Valentine with a heart shaped lollipop. One woman said it's been years since she saw and received a little valentine.  Told me she felt like a kid again. 

           DAY NINE GIFT

Day Nine.....Box or two of conversational hearts or bag of the same. 

 There is just something about those conversational candy hearts.  I have no idea what that 'something' is though. Like having to have candy corn during October, I need to have a box of these hearts. Twenty pieces I have a few days prior to February 14th.  I think what intrigues me are the cute sayings on each candy. When I open a box of these little tasty confections, it takes me back to my childhood and Valentine's Day.  Eating them makes me smile as I recall receiving Valentine's in my Valentine's mail box in school from classmates.  I remember one boy signed his with the word 'Love' then his name. I found I was the only girl in class that he signed his Valentine's in that manner. 

Until tomorrow enjoy today's surprise which is a dozen heart shape sugar cookies.
