Hope all of you blog friends are having a GREAT Valentine's Day/Weekend.... Just remember that Valentine Celebrations are all about LOVE ---and we all need to keep the love going not just today, but all of the time.
The weather has changed our celebration plans this week. First of all, we had a short trip planned ---which we had to cancel due to the weather... Then today we were going down to Cookeville to have a fancy-dancy Valentines Dinner... BUT---with snow/sleet/ice all around us today, we decided not to head down the mountain...
SO--what did we do to celebrate?????? WELL---we did something we had never done on Valentine's Day before: we went to a local Mexican Restaurant near us here and had Fajitas for TWO. Even though it wasn't 'fancy' --and we didn't dress up for a special occasion, the food was GREAT. We both enjoyed it ---and after getting home, we enjoyed cuddling on the sofa by the fireplace --watching the snow come down (and being happy we were HOME).
The biggest surprise and JOY of the celebration weekend was getting a package from FedEx.... Guess what it was? My middle son (Mark) and his wonderful girlfriend (Debbie) sent me a huge bunch of gorgeous ROSES from 1-800-Flowers.... The pink and red roses are so beautiful --and will only get prettier with each passing day as they open...
Adult children may not always realize how special it is for a parent to hear from them. This Mama CRIED with so much love and joy inside of herself. Mark and Debbie will NEVER know how much this gesture of love means to me....
Finally and most importantly, this is for my wonderful husband, George. Thank YOU for the gorgeous card ---and for always being there for me... I love you to the moon and back FOREVER.... Don't ever forget that....
Well Friends---as you can tell, even though it wasn't what we first expected, we did have a wonderful weekend... As my Facebook friends tell me, just being with George is enough for me!!!!!! SO TRUE..
God Bless You ---and remember to keep the LOVE going all year long.
Hugs,
