The Month Of LOVE!

February is the month of Angels!

The month of LOVE!

I have always loved Valentine's Day.

Love

Angels

Cherubs

Cupid

How could you not LOVE it????

Recently I was reminded that

Angels have always been celebrated

be it Valentines Day or not.  

Last week I toured the home, now a museum,

of Henry Flagler in Palm Beach.

http://flaglermuseum.us/

I was fascinated that

Angels abound everywhere

 in the Flagler home.

The home was built in the late 1800s

It is elegant and exquisite

I was captivated by the presence of angels

in almost every room

May Angels watch over you

during this month of

LOVE

and always!

Enjoy!

Cake, Dancing, Time and Smiles

I have found out...

I can't have my cake

and eat it too!

 I have neglected my blog

which means I have neglected my friends.

 I feel like I am dancing as fast as I can

but...

For now, it is time for me to say "Good Bye".

I leave you with a happy

 and thank you for your friendship.

I do hope to return sometime soon.

Enjoy!

Love Letters

Twenty five years ago

we were expecting our first child.

My husband traveled ALOT,

he managed several cities in the north east.

Lots of planes and little time for us.

On Valentines Day 1986 

while on his way to airport in NYC

he thought he would have his cab stop

at Tiffany's and pickup a small Valentine gift

that he had seen advertised in the morning newspaper.

Oh so Original!

He was thinking he had Valentines Day in the bag.

Much to his surprise...

hundreds of other men had the same idea.

He needed to make his flight so he had to abandon his plan.

He didn't even have time to stop for a Sweet Treat.

NOW THE PANIC SETS IN

He is sitting on the plane that is due to arrive early evening

and he is empty handed. 

(Honestly, I didn't have my heart set on a gift)

Quick thinking:

He pulls out his 1986 style laptop...

graph paper.

He writes me a letter,

a letter reviewing the past year

and dreams of the year to come.

I am sure he didn't think it would be

one of the most treasured gifts I have EVER received.

I cherish that letter and the 23 that followed.

Each Valentine's Day my husband

writes me a letter that comes from his heart.

The next year he wrote 2 Love Letters,

one for me and one for our daughter.

This year he has 3 letters to write,

we are expecting our first grandchild,

a little girl that will hopefully

have many Love Letters to come

from her loving grandpa.

Wishing you LOT OF LOVE on this Valentines Day.

Enjoy!
