We are approaching Valentine's Day. So, for this "Musical Interlude," here is a song for lovers. 

Dedicated to my beloved Warren.

Enjoy Alison Krauss singing "When You Say Nothing at All" (1995):

 

 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Musical Interlude & Valentine's Day: First Dance

(For politics, please scroll down) 

I chose this song for the first dance at our wedding on August 28, 2021. Music didn't get played that day, however, because the man with the audio material had a caregiving crisis of his own. Still, Warren and I consider "Lay Down Beside Me" as our first-dance song.  And this song is perfect for Valentine's Day 2022. 

The lyrics for "Lay Down Beside Me" are so personal for Warren and me! Those of you who know our situations will understand the personal meaning without further explanation: 

Happy Valentine's Day!

Vintage Valentine Card

Retro love song from 1954, when the lyrics were discernible:

Addendum: Three Centuries of Valentines Offer 12,000 Ways to Say ‘I Love You’: Look inside a vast collection of cards, from as early as the 1680s, featuring pop-ups, cutouts and Civil War soldiers.

Valentine's Day Weekend: A Love Story

Please read the story at the link below.

Marriage: Caldwell and his wife spent nearly 56 years together and he has found comfort in his daily routine since she passed away

Link: Strangers shovel snow so that an 82-year-old man can deliver a daisy to the bench dedicated his wife of 56-years

Love: Bud Caldwell, 82, has been taking daisies and a few pennies to a bench in Wisconsin every day for the past two years to honor his late wife

Did he give his wife flowers while she was living? I'd like to think that he did.

Good advice for life — something that Cubed, a blog friend of mine emailed to me the sudden loss of her husband of many years:

"Cherish your beloveds."

Happy Valentine's Day
