Valentine’s Day 2014.
Honestly, we usually spend it around our dinner table ( alone when the kids were young) enjoying a special meal make for my husband. Add a little Ghirardelli dark chocolate and we’re set.
This year I was unexpectedly spoiled. A dozen beautiful red roses graced my mantle most of the week and ahead of our latest snow storm: so enjoyable to see. My nine year old bounced through each next day in anticipation of giving me a pretty green quartz ring he picked out himself. I’ll remember his love and excitement every time I wear it. The mailbox delivered a lovely card from my best friend. I love her. My oldest made me, from scratch, my favorite Hummingbird Cake (you should have seen his brother’s eyes when he asked what kind it was…that was funny) and a grilled steak dinner complete with veggies. From a self proclaimed meatatarian, that’s something extra special. Wait, I just remembered he gave me a card any mom would love to get from her almost 20 year old son. A treasure forever!
So, a rose is a rose may be true, but these Valentine Day Roses made me feel so very loved all week. I’m so thankful!
