Valentine's Day 2013

Mike and I don't really celebrate Valentine's Day anymore. Prices are upped and it seems silly to spend more just to go with the flow on a single day in a year when you could buy spend less on the same thing the rest of the year. In fact, we didn't even do anything extravagant on our recent wedding aniversary. Low key is the phrase. So this Valentine's Day, I really hadn't expected it; that he would present me with this:

And a nice, comfy blouse that was way, way too big! *grin*

Okay, because of that bouquet..... I'm willing to ignore the fact that I'd pathetically cooked and eaten Valentine's Day dinner with my old folks and that he'd been out and only given the stuff to me like with 2 hours left of Valentines' Day!

I thought it was so sweet. I was so moved by the gesture. It literally moved me to tears. Then the warm, big, bear hug that he's so good for, came followed with some mushy phrases *double grin*. What's the big deal you may say? The big deal is we've been married more than 20 years and some time back, we'd decided to do away with expensive gifts for each other (no need to crack head to buy something we may not really need). So it was a pleasant surprise. Anyone who knows what I mean, knows what I mean *grin again*

And if you're constantly receiving flowers, gifts or treats from your man, then no, you won't know what I mean *I'm grinning alot*!!!



Our daughter received a single stalk too from Daddy. Sweet, huh?
