For fifty-four years George, my father-in-law, gave Margaret, my mother-in-law, a heart shaped box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day. Without fail she would receive different variations of the same thing. Because these boxes were and still are quite popular George had a lot of options. He would pick them up at retail locations based on a style that suited his fancy. It was important to avoid giving the same design more than once.
The sizes changed and the designs varied but I notice that Marge has multiple boxes where red is the predominant color and flowers or bows adorn the top. She has marked the back of each box with the year it was given for record keeping, and after the chocolate was enjoyed the card from him would go on the inside.
