HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Remember how exciting Valentine's Day was when we were kids?  I can remember everyone bringing in a shoebox to school, decorating it and slicing that slot in the top.  Then we would put it on our desk and see who put a card in. I don't ever remember getting a Valentine card that sent me flying with heart fluttering, but I do remember how much fun it was to decorate that box. 

My mom used to make a heart shaped coconut cake (my favorite). It was so yummy! 

The first time I ever got candy from a boy, I think I was in 6th grade. His name was Lance Lefforts. His mom worked with my mom at W. T. Grant's. 

He had saved the wrappers from his Mallo Cups and sent to get me a pretty ample size box of Mallo Cups for a gift. I remember I was very embarrassed. I felt no attraction to him but I did eat the candy with relish. They moved away shortly after that. 

Today for Valentine's Day, I probably will take my heart down the hill to my cottage and play. I got up at 5 a.m. and did my work so I could play without feeling guilty. I did make Valentine cards this week but never sent them out. Time got away from me.  

Happy Valentine's Day Michael!

waitin' for the garden

Today Ma is anxious to git out in the garden. Can't hardly wait to git on her apron and jump in her galoshes!

Had rain on the hill overnight. So nice to hear when yur laying in bed. It even drowned out some of Pa's snoring! When it hits the metal roof, it's one of Ma's joy noises on earth!

(Pa was just criticizing Ma's writin'. She told him to mind his oon buzines! He's got no blogsay on her compooter!) Told him to git to that ther barn!

Pa and Ma got in one load of wood yesterday. Of course, just before, Ma had tooken a shower and prettied up her hair. She had to stand outside under the eaves and hand wood over to Pa. She looked like a drowned rat when she got dun. She might as well have never warmed up the water to take a bath. Could've taken in under the eaves!

Ma's just left in a hurry. Saw the neighbors coming down the lane...

For those of you who still are having trouble posting comments, I found these directions from the blog, "Freckled Nest":

1. Underneath the blog text (& every blog post), it says a number and "comments". Click that!

example: Posted by Freckled Nest at 10:07 AM 2 comments

2. It will open/popup a new window. You will see other peoples comments, then at the bottom of the popup, you can type your comment in the white box.

3. Then, click 'Publish Your Comment'. And you're done.

Hope that helps!

Ma seys, "Have a good Sunday!"
