Valentine’s day in Lausanne
Wednesday, February 14th, 2007
Yes, we do celebrate Valentine’s day here. Wife and I get little gifts for the kids… I for Daughter and Wife for Sons 1 and 2.
My mom would always get us something special for the day: A MAD magazine or a spy novel. And she would always sing to wake us up:
I think Sister One still calls Mom up and sings to her, though Sis gets water-ful eyes at about the third line. I don’t know if she makes it all the way to the end of the song. (I don’t even try…)
Of course here, people give flowers and CHOCOLATE. And frilly under-things (or so I’ve heard).
But I saw a German Chocolate Cake in our oven last night. Now THAT’S a pretty good Valentine’s Day present.
Enjoy the day.

Be my Valentine,
Be a pal of mine.
Promise me the whole day through
You will be my friend so true.
Will you be my Valentine forever.
