I just called....

Last year, actually about this time of year, I did a project on Memories - how a sound, image, scent, word, feeling, taste, etc can elicit a memory and how it will elicit different memories for each of us because we all have different experiences and experience things differently. Yesterday, Alex's coworkers threw us a belated wedding shower and the favors were these red and white chocolate mints. As soon as I saw them, it brought me back to my childhood. I was about 4 or 5 and it was Valentine's Day. It was the early 80s and my mom was playing "I just called to say I love you" over supper. Well she played the whole record - but this song always stood out to me. I wanted someone to love me enough to call just to say " I love you" and as always - for Valentine's Day, we had chocolate hearts at the dinner table with our supper.
