Luscious lips/ My blueberry baroness/ My co-explorer for the decades ahead. —PB
To my Love, Jay! Happy Happy V-Day! I think this is our first V-Day in PTown. As we enjoy our year-long experiment of living in PTown and deciding whether or not to move full time to PTown: as long as it is with YOU, the rest is secondary! Just let my room with a view, be a view with you! —Kevin
You didn’t want a shark named after you, so I got you a free Valentine’s Day shout out! It’s almost the same. Love you so much, Tara Dominica. Kisses from your nerdy loving husband. —Dan Pubs
Dear L., After 45 years of marriage, you still dazzle me. My greatest hope for our sons is that they find partners who brings to their lives what you still bring to mine. —Love, C.
Was it 1982 or ’83? Was it January or February that we knew? So many years of love, like a long swim, or a single breath. Everything. Always, etc. —me
Friends and lovers, is this the day to pop the question? I’m here to wish you weddings full of optimism and R-E-S-P-E-C-T, sing it! Whether your marriage is gay or straight. With love, always. —“Lady Di”
Marc, Happy Valentine’s Day! Even though we’re not in Truro now, let’s make that our goal! Meanwhile, we’re together today and every day. Love you lots. —Janis
Happy Valentine’s Day to my wife of almost 40 years. Wishes also go out to all the beautiful women in Provincetown! —Barbara
B, Happy Valentine’s Day in Truro! We hope you have a great day, with too much chocolate and too much love, not necessarily in that order. We’re happy to be in your family. —love, J&O
Dear Monkey Bones, You mean the world to me. Happy Valentine’s Day. —Love, Bub
JUNIPER. YOU MAKE MY HEART SING! With so much love. —Love from Grammy
Intimately aware of the heart you offered almost immediately./ In the embrace a whisper, you’re home/ Your mosaic is the most beautiful work of art. Your fabric strong and colorful./ Ever so loving/ Ever so kind/ Ever so healing/ Forever my romance/ Forever my Provincetown/ Thank you for being my Valentine. —JD
To the queen of this swarming hive: will you be(e) mine? Let’s fly away. —Your ever-loving drone, the editor.
To Karen from Joel. Roses are Red and Violets are Blue… it’s our 47th Valentine’s Day together and I could not think of being with anyone other than you! Love and Kisses my Valentine.
Sometimes I need to say more than the cologne “Low-Tide for Men” can convey. Love your curves and your lines, such as the best advice to anyone turning 30, which you gave my sister 20 years ago: “Don’t fart in a Miata.” You should work for Hallmark. Happy Valentine’s Day. —Y.H.
Roses are Red/ Rosé is pink/ It’s nice to smell/ But it’s more fun to drink. Happy Valentine’s Day from Truro Vineyards.
To all the farmers, market gardeners, cultivators, children’s community garden participants, school garden participants, Truro Ag Fair and Farmers Market folks (animal & vegetable), volunteers, participants, supporters and funders who have helped Sustainable CAPE to grow — we thank you and wish you health, happiness, and bushels of deliciousness for Valentine’s Day!
Oz, Happy Birthday (2/14)! Enjoy your special day, with lots of treats, chews, toys, and fun! Don’t worry, your next grooming isn’t for another 3 weeks. —Your supposed masters, B+J
