THE GIFTS THAT MADE ME SMILE.
THE LOVE OF A SPECIAL DAY
THE EARLY GIFT THAT MADE ME 'LAUGH'
Are you ready?
Ten days ago my husband gave me this Valentines gift. It was delivered by UPS. He was so excited about it and it was just a can about the size of coke. He insisted I follow the instructions "imediately" Nature's Greeting is a plant and the instructions said to water the contents and then wait 7 to 10 days for a plant to appear like a miracle on Valentines Day. Look closely and you will see a little bulb that is breaking the surface. It looks like a little roach. HA! He is devastated because it was supposed to have leaves. This is the 'HA' part. It is supposed to dance to music.
The results will be monitered closely and I will share it with you.
Are you smiling yet?

THE LOVE OF A SPECIAL DAY
My gift to my husband.
Don't tell Bill but his Coffee cup cost a whopping 25 cents at Goodwill.
NOT VERY IMPRESIVE?
Look again...
Some love birds and roses with some Valentine's scrapping paper. Awww.
OK really, he will love this gift. He loves to drink his coffee in a tall cup.
Look closer...
He will love what it says. Especially "Kiss Me"
More love...
See the pretty glass rose? Bill gave it to me. I love it so much.
(He won it in a raffle at my garden club) HA!
Wait until you see the next photo.
The heart is a scarf. I'm wearing it today with the pearls. (A gift from my husband for Christmas past) So what if I am just going bowling. (I won it at my garden club raffle)
After bowling we are celebrating Valentine's Day at Cafe Rel. A romantic dinner in a French restaruant with the most delicious food on the planet.
Awwwwwww.

THE GIFT THAT MADE ME SMILE
This gift came in the mail the day before Valentin'e's Day. It was lovingly made be a very special friend who lives way up in Alberta, Canada. We met this past summer at a blog party in Canada with Claudie at, French Pink Poodles and Pearls.
Wendy at, No Botox Allowed, is a blogger with a big heart and an awesome 'sense of humor' She is also a treasured friend that sent me this...
(please note: Wendy told us she was sending something she made and we were not allowed to laugh at her attempt to hand make each of the six blogging friends a very small gift)
Thank you dear Wendy for the most thoughtful Valentine's suprise. I love you and the gifts you sent me very much.
Nothing could have pleased me more. The cow is adorable and I deninitely had a HA! moment. The cute valentine
and the hand made envelope is so sweet.
There's more...
The red yarn and the Chinese Proverb means so much to me and the birds are so cute. Your gift is from your heart and it made my heart very happy.
All in all Valentine's Day is a very special one. I hope your's is just as special!!!
Valentine's love sent from...
JEANNE

What a great gift from Bill! Do you have a "video" setting on your camera...I want to see that plant dance!! Wow...he will love all of your thoughtful and thrifty gifts!!! I hope that beautiful scarf doesn't get in the way of your bowling! LOVE the pearls. Yup...pearls and bowling are a good combination!
Hope your lunch was yummy......I'm dining alone. Hubby is working and it's just me and the kitties...and The Stone Rabbit, of course. So, I guess I'm not totally alone.
Cute and sweet gifts from your Summer Breeze girls!! Love the proverb.
Happy Valentine's Day!!!! I'm so excited for May to get here!! :) L, Dana

I bet you looked like a million bucks in that scarf today bowling away. Did it make your score go up, or just your blood pressure? lol.
I do love it. And that sweet little teeny tiny bulb sticking out of that can?? or mini vase, or planter? What is it??? It's going to dance???
I can see Bill sipping his coffee from a heart/pink, tall cup HA... you've had many HA moments this week Jeanne.
Really? Café Rel?? Nice : )
I have a red string tied around my ankle too. I tripped a few times, but it holds me together. Filled with love from our sweet sista Wendy from Alberta. I'm sorry your valentine will be late, it wasn't my fault. You know I like to be on time ; (
Randy and I had a nice quiet day. We stayed in bed ; 0 till noon. We looked at places to go for a little sun (that didn't go too well) I made an early dinner cuz I couldn't wait any longer. I had heart shaped pasta filled with ricotta and spinach. I made a nice salad and we had a glass of wine....... then guess what??? After 9 months of the big "P" being absent, it happened. Can you believe it???? On Valentines day for crying out loud. I can't believe it. That means I start from square one all over again. No wonder my hot flashes went away AWWWWWWWWWWW.
Going to visit Sister tomorrow with Debbie. We are going to have a little Valentine afternoon. AND.... she got your card, yes she did. I will see it tomorrow. She just called to tell me to tell you not to worry anymore. xoxoxoxo
Ok time for bed.
I hope you had a wonderful day my dear friend. Kisses to all.

What wonderful gifts! And I can't wait to hear about the dancing plant! What a cool idea!

I got one of those type plants for Christmas, but mine never did do anything. You are so fortunate to have such caring friends. I am not sure tho that I could handle all the company you have.
