Love from Unkie

In the absence of any actual Valentine's day greetings, I've had a chance to reflect this week on how blessed I am to receive such voluminous misdirected email. This year, I'm honored by a special Blue Mountain love-wish from the relatives of one "Sarah Marie," who uses the email address "cherubae@simpleton.com.

Even when they're not for me, Blue Mountain electronic greeting cards are a lover's delight, with specially composed music by Richard James (this card features a mad gone version of "Rock Around the Clock), and charming, easy-to-load pictures. You can click directly to Sarah Marie's card. Or you can just read our special licensed reprint:

dear Sarah Marie,

[unkie loves sarah]

I really do!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Candy Kisses and turtle love from sappy geeks

As if that greeting isn't enough, Gramps Granny and Unkie have provided Sarah Marie with a special dancing turtle gif, the better to rock out to Bill Haley and his Comets:

As a special simpleton value-add, I've even imagineered myself into Sarah Marie's situation, reminiscing about my own midwestern family roots, dreaming in my lonely dorm room of Gramps, Granny and Unkie, Granny with her ever-ready bowl of marshmallow and gelatin "ambrosia":

And as a special Valentine's Day value add, readers who click here will get a special advertising treat. Happy Valentine's Day to you and that special someone.
