I stopped and saw my Dad today and gave him a card I made for him. I gave him the chocolates last week so he offered me a couple of them. It was nice just to sit with him enjoying our treat.
I got to see his crown. Apparently every year the day before Valentine's Day, they crown a King and a Queen of Brightondale. Residents get to vote, but that doesn't always determine the winner; they try to distribute the honor to people who would enjoy the honor.
They crowned my Dad King Walt. He has the hat, which is quite impressive. It's a cowboy hat with a red crown added to the brim. Wish I'd had my camera, but I can bring that next time I visit.
He gets to ride in the City of New Brighton's parade this summer, in a convertible, with the Queen.
I think he'll have a great time!
Hope you do something special with your royal consort!
Happy Valentine's Day!

OMG! and who is the Queen????!!! Nancy
