Valentine’s Day is just fun…if you just watch and listen. Flowers come into the office and folks talk about gifts and plans all day. I know Facebook status messages have mentioned everything from candy to candlelight dinners today, but I’m a little partial to southern charm, myself…
Hubby suprised me with a new bedliner for my truck this Valentine’s Day.
I know, I know. …doesn’t immediately sound romantic? Well, for this southern belle, nothing could have warmed my heart more. I’d been talking about getting a bedliner and bemoaning scratches just this past weekend, but I had no idea he’d already ordered one. I certainly didn’t imagine one for Valentine’s Day, but he couldn’t have planned it better.
I guess I had the total suprise coming…I got him a few years ago with a singing Valentine via a tuxedoed barbershop quartet. …at work. …with his boss’s help getting them through the security gate and into a conference room where many coworkers were ushered in for the serenade. (I still have the video. 🙂 )
If anyone’s interested in a singing valentine or other barbershop serenades, the Barbershop Harmony Society (formerly SPEBSQSA) has chapters, choruses, and quartets all over. They even have a Singing Valentine’s web site to help you locate performers.
…so, that’s my contribution to the front porch evening chat. What are your most memorable valentines (giving or receiving)? What are the most unique?
Have fun pondering. ‘night y’all.

Great blog…I like the front porch theme. I had tried to give my “at home with barbie” the similar homey feel…I am glad you are on Blogger!
