It's been a stressful week for me and I'm sure many of you have had the same kind of week yourself, not to mention this global warming is freezing us all to death...I had a wonderful surprise when I opened the mail this evening, Linda over at A day in the life of, had made a beautiful valentines day card for me (she's an incredible scrapbooker and card maker). Linda, it made my day...You are a beauty.It also reminded me of my favorite Valentine's Day card from my hubby, not at all what you would think...
We had went to the mountains with some friends for Valentines one year, of course one of our friends had already purchased his wife, as my husband puts it the most elaborate card he has ever seen, he swore cupid himself was inside this card sprinkling love dust...He gave his wife the card before we went to supper..Of course, she loved it....Here was my husband and our other friends husband looking at each other with the "you mean were supposed to give a card on valentines day look on their face"
8pm on Valentines Day in the Smokey Mountains is not the time to find the "right card for your wife.".My husband literally walked in the store and grabbed the last card in the wife section and walked out....When I opened the card, romance was the farthest thing from my mind....it had a oven mitt on the front and simple said, " You'll need this for later". ...Inside the card was written,
"Because I'm to hot to handle"......Right know your probably thinking what's wrong with this, give him credit, he tried.....Your right, I should have, except for the part that said.....TO MY HUSBAND WITH WITH LOVE............
I think about what the poor girl at the counter must have thought when my husband(who's a big man)paid for the
"Special Husband Valentines Day Card".....
And it makes that card priceless............
We talk about it and laugh every year....

That is hilarious! I can see why you two laugh about it when you remember it. (:>)
Thank you for the laugh. It's not about the card, but the love that went with it. Happy, happy Valentine's Day.
I am so glad that I brightened your week, Angie.
I love that story about the card. It is those memories like that why we remember we love each other. Don made me latte cupcakes for V-Day. Yum-O! He made them from the recipe that was in the February issue of Southern Living. LMK....I can scan the recipe for you. :)
