Birthday blessings

Another birthday come and gone! A wonderful day filled with friends, family and fun. Lunch with the parents, dinner with hubby and Amy J. Knitting and relaxing to finish the evening. Hubby delivered flowers to work for me to enjoy all week long. I am truly loved and blessed.

Nice Ending

After a really not great day for me. Mr80grit came home with a simple red rose for me.  It was just the best ending for a not great day.  Work was fine, I got some knitting done on my shawl and had a simple dinner at my favorite place.  The day wasn't great because I was able to go to this big fancy dinner we go to once a year. With my health being weird lately it just didn't make sense but still I missed going.  But the rose made me feel missed and loved.  That Mr80grit, he is good!

How to relax..

This is how I relaxed last night after a long day. Thank you dear friends for your replies to my question.



Valentine's is a special time for me and Mr80grit. We met in January 97 and had started to hang out quite a bit then. He didn't like Valentine's then as his ex had divorced him on the 13th of February the year before. (The judge in Florida didn't allow divorces on the 14th.) So I scheduled the 13th of February off from both of my jobs and let him know that I had the day/night off. So we had our first 'official' date on the 13th of February which was an awesome date with him already arranging for me to get flowers on Valentine's. So instead of my guy hating Valentines it is one of our most favorite times of the year. (i don't think his ex planned it that way). :}

Valentine Candy

Valentine Candy has been a part of Mr80grit's and I relationship since we first dated 12 years ago. Our favorite then and now is Dove Chocolates. However now it is the dark chocolate and when we first dated it was milk chocolate. Sometimes it is the really good local chocolatier's specialties or sometimes it is just hershey kisses.

Today it is a mixed bag of snickers, m&m's and twix. I wish there was some mint patties in it but that is okay. If you can't tell already, we love chocolate. What is your favorite treat?
