Valentimes 2022
In what may become an annual tradition, I have begun sending valentines in the manner that most people send Christmas cards. I refer to them as "valentimes" as a nod to the way they are exchanged among schoolage children - using the imagery and language of romantic love even though they are sent platonically. The best valentimes from childhood have puzzles or prizes inside. This year's valentimes contained custom coloring pages as well as heart stickers and temporary tattoos.
