G'day everyone, Dutch here! Welcome to my little place in the Universe! Thought I would pop in and do a short blog here to give everyone one more Valentines Day wish before the big day...

A question was brought up on another site "if you remember your first love"... and looking through some old photos, I did think back to my "first love", or thought it was...

I was nine years old and she was eight, had brown hair in pigtails as I recal...a country girl like I was a country boy... and in a one room country school (circa 1952) I made her a Valentines day card during class out of craft paper and crayons..I gave it to her and she giggled and ran off with it... never did say what she did with it...we went our seperate ways to different schools after the end of the school year...never seen her or the card again.....

Thinking about my standard grilled steak and shrimp, with some type of potato for supper, maybe with a salad or maybe just order a pizza, whooooooooooooooooo knows........ we have Valentines Day everyday of the year around here...and yes, guys, I do the little things everyday, I don't rush out at the last minute and buy a dozen half dead roses, a picked over card and a toaster for a Valentines Day present.....

You don't believe me take a little hint from Kenny Rogers....

Well gotta scoot, and finish up the day.... sooooooooooo everyone have a smilin' gooooooooooooooooood day full of Peace Love and Happiness and I'll see you next time if the good Lord's willin' and the creeks don't rise...

One last thing, gentlemen, give your lady a single rose like you meant it, turn the lights down a little, take the lady gently in your arms , and slooooooooooooooooooooow dance to this oldie... Kathy and I danced to this one on many a occasion...
