Show Valentine's Day is nostalgic and romaJ p.g. blab don't do these anymore. But when the kids were young and liked to take cookie hearts to a lot of friends, it was fun and the mess was forgiveable. It is long stemmed red roses. Have you noticed how expensive the roses get at Valentines and at Mothers Day The rest of the year you can almost afford them but not at Valentines and Mothers Day. It is red and white streamers in the stores. It is cupids and bows and arrows. It is tender messages, lyrical verse, and comedy. It is lots of hope. Every girl aged 12 and over is hoping that that special someone will have the courage to send her a valentine. Every girl needs a valentine. Even one from a secret admirer is nice. I got one of those once from a neighbor boy. I thought it was great. At the high school on Friday, the FHA will be selling cookies and flowers for Valentines to raise money for a worthy charity.

By MARCEIXA WALKER It is that time of year again. The time of year when everything is red and white and love just kind of floats through the air. I love it. Friday is Valentine's Day and it has got to be one of the nicest holidays all year. It comes with such fond sentiment and gooey nostalgia and it is great. It is homemade valentines made of red construction paper and paper doilies. It is purchased valentines that come 25 to a box, not quite enough for the whole class so you have to buy two. Or, if you buy a large box of 50 that is too many. I always was going to save them until the next year so that I wouldn't have to get so many, but within the year somehow they got lost. You know how it is. It is candy hearts with little words written on them. The candy is yucky but the thoughts are sweet. It is big red heart-shaped boxes full of chocolates. I always wanted one with a padded lid and done in pink. They always looked so pretty on the drugstore shelves. I never got onev though. It is big sugar cookie hearts with fancy decorations. They taste so good but if they are too big they break being transported to that special someone you made it for. I |
