Happy Valentine's Day!

Jin Juhua kisses her husband Zhong Weiqiao at a gathering of 60 couples who have been married to each other for over five decades, in Kaihua village of Zhuji city, Zhejiang province, China, on Feb. 14. Jin and Zhong have been married for more than 60 years.  photo via MSNBC photo gallery

Yes, I realize that it's almost 10 days past the 14th of February, but shouldn't Valentine's Day be celebrated EVERYDAY versus being confined to just one particular day out of the entire year?  (Plus, I've been terrible about updating this blog so I'm only now getting around to posting at all, let alone a Valentine's Day post!) 

And a few more lovely stories and photos that made my heart smile...

There's no one else I'd rather spend my next 50+ Valentine's Days with than my handsome hubby.  I love you, Bru.

Love Poem

Sharing one umbrella
We have to hold each other
Round the waist to keep together.
You ask me why I'm smiling--
It's because I'm thinking
I want it to rain for ever.

Can't you just close your eyes and picture the scene?

Ridiculously Romantic

I LOVE proposal stories--as sappy as it is, I guess every girl is a romantic at heart.    This story made me smile...I love how creative and thoughtful this guy was.
