Valentines Day Observed

 We did not forget to express our love for one another on Valentines Day.  I understand the symbolism of the red rose; but you need to understand that the yellow rose is the favorite of BBBH, hence she got yellow roses.  Please note the fancy vase.  (Yes, that merits the "vahz" pronunciation.

I happened upon an old sketch I used  a long time ago, so I repurposed it as a greeting card.  Someone enhanced my work, and now the caricatures actually resemble the inhabitants of this domicile.  As for my response to her question, 1) Hmm, why did she ask? and 2) it is a true answer, and trumps the "You are so beautiful" and similar lines, though they may be true, too.

AND, she had her t-bone steak dinner!

Just call me the last of the romantics.

Valentine

The Rec Hall is the center of activities for this community, and it is well-used indeed. I prefer to refer to this place as the "Social Hall" or "Activity Center," for "Rec" evokes images in my mind that I prefer to avoid. "Rec" is homonymous with "wreck" which in turn leads to thinking of people of a certain age...

Well, you see where my mind goes with this, so bear with me, and allow me to refer to the place as the activity center. And incidentally, here is another thing that sort of bothers me, the banner displayed here. And why would this bother me? First, I am not a recycled anything. It has taken me a lot of years to get to this place in my life. Which brings us to second, my teen years, if I had to choose a stage of life to re-live, would without doubt be the last stage I would choose. Oh, well, it is all in a spirit of good fun, so I try not to be offended. And true enough, some of the people do seem to be, if not in a second childhood, certainly in regression which might place them at about the teen stage of life. The power of suggestion?

This display appeared just in time for Valentine's Day, and herewith I wish you a happy Valentine's Day and joy and peace with those you love!
