stamped and self-addressed

The top one, of Isle of Hope on the east side, is for Alyssa.

The bottom one, of White Bluff Road on the west side, is for her sister Leila.

Trust me, their Daddy will get my little inside joke on sunrise and sunset!

The middle one, of the Pirate's House restaurant, will go to Hinesville for C J.

These two are off to Hinesville, too, and were purchased in Italy in 2012!

The one for the bridge in Florence, with its lines straight out of a child's book, is for Miss Chlo.

The lower one, of my favorite place to tromp around in Rome - that would be the Forum, with my name on an ancient temple! - is for Littlest Girl.

I think their Mama will appreciate the link to my favorite European country.

Victory Drive, upper left, is headed to Kobe, as he lives out that way.

Bonaventure Cemetery, lower left, is for Caitlyn, as her mom goes there fairly often.

As for Ally, up near Statesboro, I think she'll appreciate the one of St. John's Cathedral

These three are destined for Alabama!

The upper left, with the statue of James Oglethorpe, is for nephew Conner, while the bottom one, featuring Casimir Pulaski, goes to his big brother, Merritt.

The fancy Gingerbread House, with its Southern porches on the top and bottom floors, is for my niece, Aubree.

All told, I spent at least three hours joyously putting together these "love in the mail" packages for the little ones in my life.

Hey, the pandemic is still on, so this is the closest I can get to giving most of them hugs... so, of course I did it!

These unicorn valentines went mostly to the littler ones and are stickers, two to keep and two to share, if they so choose.

The "Dad joke" valentines all went to older kids, for reading fun... and scratch-off practice for lottery cards!

Again, they have two that I've marked for them, but they also get two to give to friends.

Sharing is more fun, isn't it?

Maybe they'll even write to let me know who they shared with!

Such fun!
