Didn’t you love the parties held at school when we were children?  What fun they were.  Trading Valentines with your classmates.  It was an annual celebration I loved.  Plus it enlivened the winter!  I’ve always loved the “conversation” candies of the season.  It has been fun to watch their messages evolve over the decades.

So, here is my Valentine to my readers.  I hope you have a wonderful day filled with chocolate, flowers, and professions of love!
