Thanks GG ... hum, winter over ... you must be a romantic :)

And you also, dear Cameron, a wonderful happy ♡♥ V-day! Hope you are OK from your accident. ((Hugs))

Aw, how romantic, Gail. Yes, my day should be wonderful (attending afternoon Motor City Lyric Opera benefit, A Song For Haiti ~ dear friend the soprano) then a yummy dinner :) Wishing you a beautiful ♡♥Hearts♥♡ day also.

Happy Valentine's Day, Joey! I love these vintage Valentine's... and am lucky enough to have one that my grandfather gave to my grandfather early in their courtship. Not quite as vintage as these, but beautiful nonetheless. Since you are a vintage soul, I will try to post it for you... :)

Gee thanks, Marmee. Today was as good as it gets as I hope yours was. The afternoon performance, A Song for Haiti, was awesome. Our youngest son's friend is an amazing young man (consider him our son as well) who jumped on the bandwagon and headed to Haiti (also spent a stink there after graduating from Boston Collage). His mother ( and sister) are renowned opera divas :) and the list of musicians/voices today were tearfully impressive. Romantic dinner tonight was frosting on the day's cake :)

How thoughtful, dear Kim. Though I'm definitely 'vintage' compared to you, I think we are both 'old souls'! Valentine ((Hugs)).

Thanks, iMac ... I just converted from a PC to my wireless iMac, stunned at the graphics. Though at times frustrated at the learning curve, I'm having a 'happening' ball.

Indeed I do, Jen! I'm impressed with your sharp memory, probably why you have such a focused eye :) ♥

Oh yes, dear Shady. I've trained Mr. Ho-Hum well (grilled herbed lamb chops, fresh asparagus, sweet potato and bottle of 1998 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru). I'm a happy camper as I hope you are :)

What glorious vintage valentine's cards - they're lovely!

Himself remembered!!! (I suspect some prompting from the Gnomelets, but hey - I got a lovely card and local handmade chocolates - heaven!)

Looking at all the vintage v-day cards reminds me that yesterday my grandson asked why there was always a naked, chubby boy baby with a bow & arrow on on v-day decorations.

My husband and I are wanting to visit the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village.

I told you Himself wouldn't forget, Nutty :) Glad your day was heavenly!

Thank you, Edith. Delighted to connect (I am a follower of you as well).

Cute Donna, I've often wondered about Cupid myself :)Trust me, you will not be disappointed visiting either Greenfield Village or the Henry Ford Museum, which reminds me I have hot been there in quite some time either. Time to take the grandboys!
