“What can I get you for a valentine?”

“Oh, I’m so glad you asked” my husband said in a voice so excited you’d think he was a firefly on twinkle overdrive. Then saturated in doubt he said, “What I really want is a bracelet like Wonder Woman wears!”

“I can do that!” I said, “I just need a little bit of tin foil, a stapler, and spray paint.”

“Noo. The point is to deflect bullets. Bullets are supposed to bounce off the bracelets remember?”

I ignored him, “I can make a crown too!” I’m excited about getting him something special. Below are previous gifts. The first is a piece of outsider art called Flying Roots the second I call three dots and a squiggle, a spring catkin and three drops of rain.  nancymauerman.com
