Lifsey Springs News: Valentines of old

By Rosalee King
Valentine's Day - I’m sure lots of chocolate will be given in love. Let us remember a few old sayings and making Valentines. When I was in school the children made theirs by taking a piece of paper, folding it and cutting a heart shape, coloring it with crayon and putting a little verse in it. It went something like: Roses are red, violets are blue and I love you or be my Valentine. We’d drop them in a box and later the teacher would call out the name the card had been sent to. Everyone would get a Valentine.
