"Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence."~ H.L. Mencken

    Blessed, blessed me to have parents who triumphed in love, imagination, and intelligence,
and after almost 59 years are still going strong.  As their child, that is the most beautiful Valentine I could ever receive.

Superfluous Adornment

My father (on the left) purchasing a small town drugstore in the 60's. One of my favorite drugstore stories is about "spend so much money and get this jewelry free". A very well dressed man came in to the store to get his prescription one day and my father told him about this jewelry promotion. The man sternly told him, "My wife has more than enough 'superfluous adornment'". Well...have a sweet Valentine's Day, and may you all be overwhelmed with a bit of superfluous adornment!
