"Lady with a Fan"-Klimt

With a Fan from Rimmel's

Go, happy Fan, in all the land The happiest … seek my lady's hand,  And, swinging at her winsome waist,  Forget for aye, so greatly graced, The House of Odours in the Strand. Ivory, with lilac silk outspanned, With ruffling black sedately grand,  With bloom of eglantine o'ertraced, Go, happy Fan. Her kindly heart will understand, Her gentle eyes will grow more bland  At sight of you. Away in haste,  Dear New Year's gift! Such perfect taste As yours her praises may command. Go, happy Fan!

-W. E. Henley

For her face that shines, in the morning glow And the outside world, will never know What she means to me, and what I owe to her But she is so beautiful, she is so divine Yes she is so beautiful, and she's mine, she's mine She can make me smile, as we start the day And to hear her laugh, takes my breath away Will I ever find, any words to say to her Though she is so beautiful, but she is so fine Yes she is so beautiful, and she's mine, she says, she's mine

-Paul McCartney

Happy Valentine's Day!

In 1975, she fanned the flames of my heart and on 2/15/76 she smiled and said, "I do."

Love you Rett!

Happy Anniversary tomorrow (48 and counting).
