He Found a Way to Surprise Me

He said he wanted to buy me something. I said I didn't want anything, that I had everything a woman could possibly want or need.  But I was wrong, and as usual, it was he who knew. Turns out, I wanted and needed two dozen long stemmed roses, sent two days before Valentine's Day (the forethought involved was noted and appreciated) accompanied by a beautiful note telling me he wanted me to think of him whenever I saw them.  (he's away on business this week)

As if I needed a reminder.

Unexpected, they took my breath away.

Sorry to get all smarmy, but it's true.  Even a crusty old battle axe like me gets misty sometimes.

I am very lucky to be married to such a wonderful man.

Happy Valentine's Day to all.

Bet You Can't Look at This Without Smiling

Adorable, no?

My new nephews - 9 days old

Oh

These little guys are totally adorable. 

My Little Guy is 18

It's a big birthday for the little kiddie on the left and typical mommy, I've been feeling like I want to bawl my eyes out all day. (He finally went out with friends most likely to escape me coming up to him, grabbing him in a maternal death-grip and saying, "Noooooo!!  Noooooo!!!  Not yet!!!" every 5 minutes)  The one in the middle is going to turn 23 soon, and the little girl on the right is 15.   Oh, to go back, for just a day...They were such delicious children.

What does the brand new adult want for his birthday? 

A cigar, a porn flick and a snifter of brandy.

He always was such a joker.

He will get a new laptop to take with him to college in the fall.
