Have you noticed the dearth of Valentine's Day posts here? Well, the Missus let me off the hook for this years ago; the practical side of Her just couldn't see going through all the trouble, fighting the crowds, the stress, etc, etc...... But that doesn't mean I've been let of the hook....you see, the Missus also told me, "you know that any day can be Valentine's Day.....everyday, if I declare it so, right?"
Well, there's always a catch, isn't there?
So when I told the Missus that perhaps I should do a V-Day post, all She wanted was this photo of Frankie in it.
"Won't you be my Valentine????"
Whatever way you choose to celebrate this day.....or not, we wish you a wonderful day.....
And if you're not feeling particularly well on this day, we hope you find a remedy....perhaps even on this pegboard!
Since things sort of seem random.....here's something that just shows how ancient I am. I recently heard this song for the first time in decades and it took me bac kto my childhood....what we call hanabuddah days. It features the wonderful voice of Liz Damon and a song that was strangely written by Burt Bacharach.
Years ago I met Liz Damon, who had become a Greeter at one of the Casinos in Vegas, she was kind and warm. With a voice like this, I'm sort of surprised she never became a bigger star. I'm sure there's a story here somewhere....... Anyway, I thought it would be appropriate for today.
I hope you all have a great weekend!
Happy Valentine's Day!! :D

Happy Valentines to you, Missus and Frankie. The Missus seems quite brilliant with her jedi mind tricks :)
Must learn these tricks...

Hey, an off topic question (you guys need a "Ask mmm-yoso" feature):
Best (or go-to, or whatever) bánh xèo in town?

Your wife is right, any day can be Valentine's Day! :) Love the hairstyle on that album cover! Happy Valentine's Kirk!

He can be quite adorabler Kirbie!
She is Faye....there's always a catch!
That's a great idea Tilthouse.....not quite sure where to start. As for Banh Xeo, I like Pho Ban Mai's version and when the kitchen is on, Que Huong. The Missus likes Tan Ky Mi Gia - but mostly because of the pork.
Like that retro-'do CC! And the Missus has proven that any day can by V-day many times over!

I had never heard of Liz, even though I'm pretty obsessed with Hawaii. Nice! I'm not surprised that Burt wrote it, it's happy and sweet.

Hi Marla - Well it could be because it was during the 70's.....Liz Damon and the Orient Express had one big hit 1900 Yesterday. Thanks for taking the time out to comment.
