Message of the Day – Hearts A-Popping

February 13, 2009 By: Cal Skinner Category: Dish, Heart, Hearts, Pillow, Place Mat, Scrapbook, Scrapbooking, Table Cloth, Towel, Towel Holder, Valentine's Day

We got all the Christmas decorations down but the electric candles in the windows.

It’s before Valentine’s Day.

Isn’t that the accepted schedule?

Then, I noticed heart-themed items showing up in the house.

A pillow.

But that might have been around before.

Yes.

I remember.

It’s the one we stick in the microwave oven for a couple of minutes to sooth a hurting muscle.

But, I know the place mats and the dish on the little iron rack are new.

There has been a heart on top of the paper towel holder, but those new cloth hand towels were not there before. (The other ones absorbed water better, so I’d guess the heart-themed ones have not been washed too many times, if at all.)

When I went out to the sun porch to water the plants, I noticed a (new?) table cloth with hearts.

There may be other new hearts around the house, but I get the point.

Think a computer wrapped in pink paper with lots of ribbons and a couple of bunnies—what the Tiger Direct guy suggested—will do?

Really. She says she wants to do scrapbooking.

No…I better buy a card, too.
