Happy Valentines Day to all of you again. It was fun seeing and hearing about your day. Good and bad all rolled in together for some of us.
I delivered the painting to the lady who had commissioned it. She loved it and I loved it in her house. So all is well in that corner. I have worked so hard and so long on that painting, I won't know what to do with my time now.
Before I left though, I received a little package in the mail.....Now I don't have a secret pal this time, remember? However....somebody sent me the loveliest little thingie to hang in the window, and it has the perfect little verse on it, but there was no name, no return address.....beautiful and perfect but I don't have a clue. The weird part is that it came from Birmingham.....nobody here lives in Birmingham. I am perplexed, puzzled, and this is going to drive me nuts. But I sure do love it.
Now, when I got home there was a box on my doorstep from flowers.com.
Inside were 2 dozen tulips and they were from Ashley's boyfriend in Florida. I thought that was the sweetest thing. He had come up here to visit for a week when Ashley was staying with me. I enjoyed having him, but the tulips were certainly a surprise. Gorgeous.
So, I ran to the bank to deposit the check for the painting before I lost it....which I am prone to do. When I returned there was a vehicle in my driveway, and it was another florist bringing roses from Ethan.....so, I am feeling very blessed tonight. Teary eyed, but blessed. My neighbor even brought me a box of homemade brownies and a big pot of vegetable soup.
So....that has been my day, a surprise package, a very nice check, and two surprise vases of flowers. How fortunate I am.

You all had a great day as well...Rachie, what did you and Carl do on this LOVEly day?
Ves...good to hear from you, interesting about your work, but I worry about you in all that snow. Do be careful.
Hi Cat....where you been, girl??
Ahhhhh, Gita...how sweet, great gifts!
Liz, when it rains on you it really pours, doesn't it. I do hope you don't let this insurance thing get you down. Let your insurance companies fight it out. I agree with Dawn. I hope you had a better evening than your day was.
Betty, you don't sound your usual chipper self....you might need to be careful about all these tummy problems you are having.....remember what I am living with. I have to watch every bit of everything. And truth told, you might need to be watching too.
Laura..you sound good, I hope your long weekend is great, you have such a great hubby!!!
Judy...ah, what can I say...you are the sweetest! You and Betty are both earning stars in your crowns! Thank you for everything.
Gilli.....Ohhhhhhhhh, Sonora is beautiful, truly beautiful. Look at those eyes. I hope sometime you can share more of her art work with us. I enjoyed seeing it so much.
Ruby, you sweetie.....you are right up there with Judy and Betty always saying the sweetest things to all of us. Lifts us right up, you know. Like a ray of sunshine. thank you for your uplifting posts.
GG darlin, I hope your day was beautiful....and that all good things happened for you. How is the bruise?
Dawn...wise words, as always...you take care sweetie, tell us what hubby did for you??? You cooked a fab dinner for him. Everything you mentioned was my husband's very favorite, right down to the carrot cake. Reading that brought a little tear, but it is so fun to know that your husband likes that too. Bob also liked pecan pie, and I doubt that I will ever bake another one. I must have made him a couple every month for a gazillion years. I miss that.

So here are my flowers, I just have to share them all with you.
