Valentine's Day & DAD


Just want to share that tomorrow being Valentine's Day & my dad's 76th birthday, I am actually feeling pretty good this year. I am on here today because of the holiday on Monday & the fact that this library computer will not be available tomorrow. I guess I don't have to explain why I am here every time I get on here.

I am so grateful for my loving AH because he understands how important Valentine's day is to me. We decided to go out for dinner yesterday(Fri.) since the day seemed right & the weather was pretty nice to go 60 miles to the nicer food chains up there. I tend to like traveling more these days because I enjoy the time when we reach our destination. I still & think that I will always live in my small town. So, we had an excellent late lunch & I really am glad that we both liked the food.

So now I sit here. Oh yeah, he gave me some lovely yellow roses for the day as well. I am so grateful that I am not depressed at all.

Not much more to report today.

Kathleen

Happy to hear from you Kathleen! Happy Birthday to your Dad and Happy Valentine's Day to you.
Yellow roses and lunch, what lovely gifts. I received a heart of chocolate and a very nice card from
AH and tomorrow we have to go to my parents to celebrate two birthdays, so I made sure I got
several small boxes of Russell Stovers for everyone, including my grand-daughter. Glad you are
feeling good and wishing you continued good health.

(((Kathleen))) - congrats. on a lovely day and a great celebration with you and your AH! Kudos for the roses and I hope they smell heavenly! That's cool that your father's birthday is on V-Day!!! I suppose he's had 76 years of a dual-celebration day - I've always wondered for those who are born on a holiday if it's a good thing or bad? Ha.ha.ha....

I hope the rest of your weekend is magical and that you have tons of continued joy and peace - you sound very content and serene!!

(((Hugs))) always!

I am here: my dad passed away in 2011. I was feeling the need to honor him on his birthday which is tomorrow. I have had 4 birthdays w o him. He died of colon cancer. I know now there was a reason for his birthday being on a special day because he will always be in my heart.
