V Day.

 Valentine's Day . . . until very recently . . . 

was one of my most favorite holidays . . .

 This year, I have been trying to avoid Valentine's
Day since I made it through CHRISTmas . . .

My Geri sent me the CUDDLIEST, CUTEST,

SOFTEST, MOST LOVABLE teddy bear

ever.  He is so sweet.  I was so surprised when

I open the box.  He is adorable and I already

have THE most special place in mind for

him.  Maybe it won't be quite so bad after all.
