13 Love Notes
1. HERE’S my new paper shredder. I bet you can’t look at it and not laugh.
2. I left my wrist band from The Kind at the Pine Tavern last weekend on my wrist all weekend because it was pink, an appropriate accessory for Valentine’s Day and a reminder of going out dancing with my sweetheart, my husband Joe.
3. The next day Joe and I saw our mutual sweetheart, nine month old grandson Bryce. See how much fun that was HERE.
4. On Valentine’s Day morning I was putting two bright red apples in the fruit bowl and wondered why we don’t give our sweethearts a dozen red delicious apples instead of roses for Valentines Day.
5. Turn the name of your blog into a ee cummings poem HERE.
6. I call the photo above “The Royal Flush” or “Playing your cards right.”
7. Need a good pick-up line? Try THIS.
8. Were I live we still see unregistered pickup trucks with the words FARM USE painted where the license number usually is.
9. If you’re new here you might not know that apples play a romantic role in Joe’s and my relationship. When we met Joe said he liked my spirit right away. I was excited about my trunk full of just picked wild apples. Later, at our wedding he presented me with an apple instead of a ring (I got the ring later) and said it symbolized the fruit of the love that we tended.
10. I’m glad I still live where smoke comes out of chimneys. It looks so cozy and burning wood that Joe cuts makes us feel self-sufficient. I feel bad for new homes built without chimneys because I think we may be burning wood for heat again someday.
11. Ain’t that America? I only get 4 TV channels, so I’m only just now watching the Obama inaugural concert, youtube video by youtube video. I had heard the buzz about Bruce Springsteen and U2 but didn’t know that John Mellencamp played. John has the same birthday as my brother Dan (who loved his music) and he reminds me of Dan. I’ve like John since his “Hurt so Good” days and was happy to see he was invited to play.
12. What is the letter version of a mathematical equation? I think it could go something like this: LOVERS = Resolve + Solve + Love + Revolves + Evolves.
13. I think BUSY should be spelled BIZZY because when I get too BIZZY it makes me DIZZY.

I see your paper shredder and ours is similar! (Well, sorta… ours has four legs and is hairy… but the concept works the same.) Love the pickup line gen too! Egads! If someone uttered these in my presence to ANYONE, I’d probably burst a blood vessel laughing!!!

Great TT. I think houses need chimneys, too.

I like your list…. I agree apples would make a better Valentines Day gift.

I love fresh picked wild apples! They are so delicious, it doesn’t even matter if you bite into a little worm or two!!
I agree – bizzy is much better than bu-sy! Happy belated Valentine’s Day!

That ee cummings poem thing came out surprisingly long, once I whittled the name of the blog down enough to fit their limits. Not very deep or meaningful, though.

neat generator.
that farm truck solution is good. they only look like trucks. they function as unlicensed tractors. around here people just get trucks impounded and dinged for driving off registration.

Really like how your mind works on #12!

Could we pick another kind of apple?? Maybe a braeburn or a pink lady?? ooh and can we make them organic?
ahahahah, my list of requirements! 😉

Thanks for visiting my TT.

Your sweet little paper shredder is adorable. He can come over here and help anytime…

I prefer live plants to cut flowers — they live on & on! Roses to plant in the yard are tough to do here for Valentine’s (way too cold), but bulbs are good — or a gift certificate for a rose bush in spring works!

This is sweet! I love wild-picked apples, too. I can see your spirit reflected in all this, and it feels like kin.

This was a real LOVEly post. I LOVE John Mellencamp and he did so much remind of Danny. I had to get my composure to write and tell you this. Of course Byrce is the post stealer. xo

I hope you are enjoying the inaugural concert. Such a wonderful event. Mellencamp was wonderful. Dead on.

Amen to #10. I miss the woodstove we had at our old house so much. I loved the smell, I loved the smoke curling out of the chimney, and I loved being able to cozy up to the woodstove and get really, really warm. The heat pump here at the doublewide just doesn’t cut it.

I love John Mellencamp! I liked him more when he was young and rebellious, though..and he used the middle name “Cougar.”

Numbers 12 &13 rocked my world today, although I love the ‘tending fruit’ notion Joe had as well!

LOVE the paper shredder! and I loved the video of him and his sister – it was so cute! Tanya sent me this time.
February 20th, 2009 9:04 pm
I hadn’t thought of ee cummings in a very long time. Maybe since school! I love the shredder. I’ll take him off your hands anytime….he is so cute.

Those pickup lines are jokes, right? They’d never work on me. lol
February 21st, 2009 11:56 am
Oh Gawd. I had only read the first few and thought they were funny. I just clicked on some more that were gross. I took down the link. I think we could write some better and more funny ones ourselves.

LOVE the Bryce videos. 🙂
