Paper Valentines....

   Do you remember back in elementary making paper Valentines. We would take construction paper and make special ones for our friends. I remember a week before we would get those white paper sacks and we would cut out hearts and paste them on. and draw on them with our crayons. We would go to the dime store and buy a box of little Valentines with corny little sayings on them. The envelopes were so thin that if you wasn't careful they would tear. The teacher would give you a list of the names in your class and we had to make sure we gave everyone a Valentine. We had party's and our Mom's would take turns bringing in cup cakes and we would play a couple of game. We were able to look in our sacks and couldn't wait till we got home to see who they were from and if our girlfriends or some cute boy wrote anything special on them. We didn't know who lucky we were back then.
   Still today, I get excited when I open my mail box and receive Valentines......
