As lovers exchange Valentine’s Day cards, candies and flowers today, they will be hard-pressed to top the efforts of a New Mexico man.
Lonnie Anderson, of Albuquerque, needed a crane to hoist his wife's gift -- a 100-pound piñata crafted out of three donated refrigerator boxes, KOB reported.
“It's something positive,” Anderson told the television station. “I love my wife."
Anderson’s wife, Anne Bolger-Witherspoon, was positively floored when she saw the piñata hanging outside their home.
"Oh my goodness," Bolger-Witherspoon told KOB. "Day One, I think we were maybe six months into dating and he pulled off his first valentine."
Anderson has been creative on Valentine’s Day. One year, he sent his wife a 30-foot tall bouquet of flowers, the television station reported. Another year, he wrote a poem on the ground that she could read from a helicopter.
There is no indication what Anderson will do when Valentine’s Day rolls around in 2020. But it is certain to be a labor of love.
