With the arrival of February comes Valentine's Day xo

There are about a dozen Saint Valentines, plus a pope.

'Saint Valentine's keys' were given to lovers as romantic symbols and an invitation to unlock the giver's heart. 



On the night before Valentine was to be executed he wrote the first valentine, to the daughter of his jailer. He signed it "Your Valentine."

In England, a character named "Jack" Valentine leaves sweets and presents for kids. I've never thought of Mister V as a man named Jack. Though in grammar school a boy named Jack gave me two candy hearts. I held my breath when I read the words. 

What else could I do?
