Heart Day

Taken at Santa Monica Beach 1946


                           Today is the 75th Wedding Anniversary of by parents;  Bill and Colleen




It was always a special day at our house because we all got to celebrate.  My dad would buy those little heart shaped boxes that have chocolates in them.  Then he would take out the chocolates and fill them with M&Ms, take them secretly outside and place them on the porch, ring the doorbell, and run.  You remember kicking Valentines?  Anyway, we would run to the door, find our heart, and the fact that Dad was coming in the backdoor at the same time never clicked.  






Hope your day is nice and that you'll be able to hug the one's you love.

Robin

I had a friend that called this "Single Awareness Day".  But I think it's for everybody because we all love someone.
