I have never received a valentine....thing, whatever it is you are meant to receive. I have 2 friends who have birthdays on that day, one is turning 50 and invited us to a party. Hub just took a booking for his band that night
, so solo...again...if I go at all.
Someone locally has started a rose-growing business, they sell bunches for $5 and last year they put them out at $4 for Valentine's Day...I can't resist a bargain!!! I bought myself some for the first time and I plan to do that again. They were buds and slowly opened over the ensuing week, so colourful, so fragrant...$400 worth of pleasure, at least.
I have got all kind of mushy lately. I am currently scraping the paint off furniture AND the old farm house door on our bedroom(hope I don't get lead poisoning) I bought a can of pink paint very cheaply and a big heart made from plaited cane, which I think I'll hang on the door.. I plan to have that project finished on Valentine's Day and I am trying to decide what to write in script inside the heart. hmmmmmmmm???
Have you heard the song.."send me the pillow that you dream...so darlin' I can dream on it too.." It's an oldie. (Gosh I'm becoming a consumer).The other day I bought this tiny plush pillow with a silk tassle, that has "believe in yourself" embroidered on it. Hub told me how he is feeling lately and it made me cry.
So yes..it does seem like I have plans.
