well dang!!!
folks now-a-days just dont do Valentine like we did as kids...
we would make our own Valentines or buy a box of them (50 for a quarter) and then write the person's name on the small envelope and sign the cards, however you wanted to do so!
your name or SURPRISE!!! or GUESS WHO???
anyway,as soon as it started to get dark we would walk around the neighborhood and put the Valentines on the porch of the home where our dear friends lived!
then we'd jump up and down...make a lot of racket and then run and hide before the porch light came on!
we would watch from behind trees or bushes as out friends picked up the Valentines and took them inside!
ok...i know!!
anyone doing that today would get their head blown off or hassled off by the police dept for scaring the heck out of our neighbors or friends or thinking that we might be causing a riot or something!
Valentine was a COOL DEAL back in the 40's and 50's...
too bad society has changed so much today and TERROR grips our nation to the point that we dare not make a sound anymore,like we did back then...
we never even gave it a thought that the day was made to"make out' with a valentine friend...
oh well...happy belated Valentine to everyone!!!
Tar...
