Describe a memorable Valentine you received.
Granny and Papa always got me those little heart shaped boxes of chocolates with the cute picture on the cover, plus cute socks or whatever. At my high school, the Student Council would sell carnations--colored coded like red is "love", pink is "like", yellow is "friend", and white is "miscellaneous". Anyways, they were a dollar a piece, and they would sell them all week before Valentines Day, and then go into your classes and hand them out on the day of. I always got a couple on those days =)
I think the most memorable Valentine that I have ever received thus far was one from my husband, Michael.
My friend, Michaela, is a milliner--she makes hats. It takes her forever, since she has to first knit the hat some four times bigger than it is going to be in the end. Then she felts it down until it's just the way she wants it, and finally adds embellishments. Some hats take her more than 17 hours to complete!!
Anyways, Michael knew that I was really wanting one of her hats, so for one Valentines day, he surprised me with a gorgeous gray hat that had a large red button surrounded by gray fluff on it. I am really attached to it now, and hope to get several more some day.
