Anne, I am so sorry, really. That is something I never thought of: bringing Valentine cards to the elderly, or just anyone who would smile. I think based on LJ's post I might make an effort on Valentines Day, although we are not newlyweds! My MIL sent me a card every week while I was going through cancer. It just occurred to me that she might get a kick out of Valentines Day. I did not do cards at Christmas this year. Maybe I can get in the spirit for Valentines Day. Gimster, I have told my husband if he needs to run by Walmart and pick up a tacky vase with an old rose, then don't bother! He'll never do that again!
