a Sunday Valentine

Today it was wet, rainy, misty, and cold,-- we went walking anyway!

carrying a big bouquet of balloons can make you feel like a child again!
To me Valentines day has never been strictly a day for sweethearts, but also to celebrate the love of best friends, family, our children, grandchildren, even our pets. I think it's a great occasion to just remember all our loved ones and let them know it.

Many things in the stores to choose from:

balloons and pots of flowers

 

cute stuffed animals and red strawberries

and lots and lots of candy!

the pink flowers on my dress! LOL

some people have valentine wreaths on their doors, and lights in their windows

Enjoy this day of love!

February so far

 How is everyone's February going?

Time seems to be going by very quickly, which is good....that means Spring is on the way.

"like sands in the hourglass.....so are the days of our lives....." (remember?) LOL!!

I have plenty of magazines to read this month:

and catalogues too. Here is one from the Vermont Country store:

they sell lots of fun old fashioned things!

......and a good book. I just started this one recently, so far it's good!

Rain slicked city streets

Neon lights and corner stores

in between raindrops one afternoon I took my Tracie out for a walk through an alley full of street art:

well, that was interesting!

my arm candy that day, LOL

.....and my neck bow! ha ha

Did a little shopping too!

Lots of these out to buy!

and FINALLY, lots of these available!! (not this time last year!)

this picture is for Jenny! LOL

This year's Holiday Barbie was on clearance:

and this was a big big tall Barbie!--like a few feet tall!

blue haired beauties

We bought garden things:

anyone remember Fresca? Gosh, I didn't know they made this anymore! I haven't seen it in ages. We drank this when we were kids, LOL Back then it came in glass bottles, ha ha

and here are glass bottles we do still buy! I don't drink alot of Coke, but when I crave one, one of these little ice cold bottles sure hits the spot! LOL So we keep a few in the ice box.
Hope your week is good so far!
