:: Snoopy Says it Best

cropped image snoopy's head, what do I love about you wording

This is the card my Hero gave me with the roses. I can't resist love from Snoopy, I mean my Hero. I love you more than my heart can tell. I like being your wife.

Seeing Snoopy on the card brought forth the memory of Snoopy flying his dog house against the Red Baron. And the song, "Snoopy vs. the Red Baron" by the Royal Guardsmen, "Just at the turn of the century, in the clear blue skies over Germany..." My friends and I sang that song often enough to annoy parental ears!

On a proud Canadian note: it was a WWI Royal Canadian Air Force Captain, Arthur Roy Brown, who was officially credited with downing Manfred von Richthofen, the Red Baron. It was most likely the combined result of an air battle with Brown, in which he was injured and machine gun fire from Australian gunners on the ground. You can read the story on Captain Brown's Wikipedia page.

So the brain took a side trip once again. Surprise, Surprise. Easily distracted by trivia could be my official title. Did you know they have Tiger Widow villages in India for women whose husbands were killed by tigers? .... Trivia picked up circa 1976, Fort Nelson, BC on Judy LaMarsh's CBC radio program. Just in case you needed to know.
