The Valentine Card

	Job Codger said, "You can always tell a Texas farmer, you just can't tell 'em much." Now, as to how a possum-headed old farmer like Job seemed to be preserved through hardships of nearly all the twentieth century, and yet retained humor and poetry deep inside his heart, it is necessary to understand the story of a Valentine card with a sunflower pictured on it. It was only a Valentine card that came in the mail...but it also seemed to come out of the distant past. With it came not only the bittersweet memory of a long-lost love, but a peck of trouble for Job Codger. Was it really what it seemed to be, or was it something completely unexpected?

Scenery along my route provided each setting.
