Well I thought that I'd try to write something concerning Valentine's Day and what it means to me. I always associated Valentine's Day with cards and candy when I was a child. I loved the party at school and getting all the little cute cards and conversation heart candy. I remember having this fear of leaving my cards at home and being embarrassed about it. Of course this never happened but I do remember leaving my name list at school and having to go over in my mind exactly where everyone sat in class so that I could remember the names. Now adays with all this technology....we could just text someone and get the list. But that of course was in dinosaur age days...lol.. After I got older and mom and dad had a floral wholesale business... I remember blooming, delivering and arranging flowers at Valentine's Day. And it always seemed to be freezing cold when we would be doing all this stuff.... OMG!!!! My hands would get so cold fooling with all that stuff. I still love flowers and I wish that I could always have fresh flowers on my table.
I went shopping today with the grandkids on the coast for their Valentine's Day gift. I didn't buy any chocolates, cards or the usual..... They got what they needed... New tennis shoes. Santa had just gotten them some for Christmas but they are already getting worn out so that's what I got them. Grace has a really cute pair of P.J.'s for this spring/summer. J.J. got money out of me this week so that was his gift. And Herb.....well he needs a new pair of glasses, so I guess that's what he'll get when he comes down to the coast. I bought myself ...with his money of course.... a pair of initial earrings. I did buy myself 3 tops, lingerie, and 2 pairs of glasses with my money. I have to treat myself every now and then.
