A Perfect Setting for Cupid

The news has been distressing of late.  The shooting in Tucson has again left us wondering what in the world is happening to our society.  The Tiger Mom made me wonder if maybe I wasn't strict enough with my own children, but then, after reflecting, realizing that my children are happy and well-adjusted, on their way to building a life for themselves.  January creeps on with more winter storms on the way, while I falter on my New Year's resolutions after only a few short weeks!!

So on a positive note, I'm sending a little love your way!  I'm reminded of a great song by Sam Cooke, later recorded by the Spinners, so hum along, as I 'sing' the lyrics for you!

Cupid, draw back your bow, and let your arrow go straight to my lover's heart for me--

Cupid, please hear my cry, and let your arrow fly straight to my lover's heart for me~

Now I don't mean to bother you but I'm in distress, there's danger of me losing all of my happiness, for I love a guy who doesn't know I exist, and this you can fix, so

Cupid with your arrow make a love storm for me, I promise I will love him until eternity, I know between the two of us his heart we can steal, help me if you will~

So, Cupid draw back your bow and let your arrow go, straight to my lover's heart for me!

A vintage Valentine for everyone!

Gotta have chocolate with all this romance!
