Are You in The Doghouse Today ?
Audrey’s Flower Shop Is Cranking Out….”I’m In The Doghouse Valentine Flowers” Today …Are you one of them? Are you in the doghouse today?
It was quite a scene at Audrey’s flower shop last night when I stopped by to deliver Valentine Treats to dear friends working in the shop. The store was full of patrons picking up and placing last minute Valentine orders. Their phone was ringing off the hook, while designers were hustling around their stations creatively putting together dozens of gorgeous floral arrangements. My BFF Dee is, Audrey’s customer service/store manager. She remained busy working the phones taking orders, and scheduling Valentine deliveries throughout the North Shore, a task she had been doing all day. Thursday’s predicted snow storm and winter mess literally tried to put a bump in the road for Valentine deliveries on Thursday and Friday. But Dee, known to her friends and coworkers as, ” Ms. Organized,” and “Ms. Get It Done” kept Audrey’s “Operation Valentine”, running smoothly like red velvet frosting the past few days. Today the Audrey’s crew is back at it again, taking special care of all their “In The Doghouse” customers, with~ Forgive Me, I’m late & Love You Valentine Floral Arrangements!
No Confessions needed, call Audrey’s today and get yourself outta the doghouse!
A Valentine wish from our friend Fred

My Valentine
Hi Joey,Many of your readers are asking for “more” after my last posting of “the beach guys.” Here is my Valentine, my husband Bob, The Love of My Life. Photo was taken about 1949, when he was recently discharged from the Navy. He was stationed in the Asiatic Pacific on LCT and LST landing crafts during WW2 as a diesel machinist in many major battles. At the Weight Lifting Club of the old YMCA, Bob was known as “Big Bob” by his many younger body building admirers. He never entered any contest, but you have to agree he would have won first prize. Bob will be 90 years young this year. He has discovered the fountain of youth, as he continues to lift weights in his home gym.Virginia (Frontiero) McKinnon

Natural Resources Defense Council Licenses Butterfly Kisses for Valentine’s Day
One of my Monarch Butterfly photos of a male and female Monarch was licensed for the NRDC Green Gifts initiative. Here’s a link to the site and description:
Send your Valentine some springtime warmth with a gift that will feed beautiful Monarch butterflies. Each e-card will allow NRDC to plant a half-dozen milkweeds this spring to help these incredible migrators bounce back from decades of habitat loss.

Umberto Eco Quote of the Week from Greg Bover
“I think of the postmodern attitude as that of a man who loves a very cultivated woman and knows that he cannot say to her “I love you madly”, because he knows that she knows (and that she knows he knows) that these words have already been written by Barbara Cartland. Still there is a solution. He can say “As Barbara Cartland would put it, I love you madly”. At this point, having avoided false innocence, having said clearly it is no longer possible to talk innocently; he will nevertheless say what he wanted to say to the woman: that he loves her in an age of lost innocence.” Umberto Eco (1932- )
Born in the northern Italian town of Alessandria, Eco was educated in the Salesian tradition, (the Society of St. Francis de Sales, founded by Don Bosco) but left the church during his graduate studies, which centered on the work of St. Thomas Aquinas. After a brief career as a cultural editor for Italian national radio, and a lecturer at the University of Turin, Eco began writing full time and gained wide-spread notice for his 1983 novel The Name of the Rose, which blends mystery with biblical analysis and semiotics. It is as a semiotician, one who studies the meaning of signs and non-verbal communication that he is in demand as a visiting professor at such august institutions as Harvard and Indiana University. He is the author of dozens of books on semiotics, medieval philosophy, and anthropology, and famously enjoys a personal library of more than 50,000 volumes.

Fish on Fridays
The Fish on Fridays series is a collaboration between Gloucester photographers Kathy Chapman and Marty Luster. Look for various aspects of Gloucester’s centuries-old fishing industry highlighted here on Fridays.
