Now I just did a post telling you that we never celebrate Valentines, and we don't. Then the mailman came and brought me this fabulous card. It's from my dear friend Gloria @ Happy To Be. You know how you make a friend in blogland and they become some of the most precious people to you, well Gloria is one of those, She is so loving and so sweet, just made my day. Sure wish we could sit and enjoy a cup of tea together like the picture. That would be an unreal treat.
As I am reading this and getting all mushy inside, DH walks through the door with this beautiful heart and miniature rose bush. He was at the nursery picking up some fertilizer and said he thought I would like this since he knows I love roses and especially the miniature ones that I can keep in a pot.
Can you believe all of this. For someone who doesn't celebrate Valentine's, I think I am doing pretty good. Wow, I am so thrilled with my treasures. How fun is this. Maybe this is a holiday that I need to rethink, so far this is a ton of fun.
I hope you get a ton of surprises too.

ReplyDeleteOh boy, you have to make sure you get him a card and some chocolate now, Marty! : ) I love the mini roses. Do you find they do well in pots? I don't have a garden anymore, so I'm starting to think about what I might plant in pots here.

Awww, Marty! How sweet for you. We don't celebrate Valentine's either, really. Our wedding anniversary is tomorrow, the 11th, and we just kind of throw the two together! :) Tomorrow is our 29th!! Wow! Have a lovely weekend! Hugs to you
ReplyDeleteWell Marty, I think this is just about the sweetest thing I've read in a while! I love that pink rose bush too, that will be beautiful in a pot this summer outside!
ReplyDeleteHappy V-Day even though you don't normally celebrate!

We don't really do Valentine's either. Maybe by me saying that I will get special treats, too. How nice to receive from a blogging friend and your hubby.
ReplyDeleteThe pink rose bush is so pretty. What nice Valentine surprises you received.
ReplyDeleteWhat sweet things to happen Marty, and I'm sure you deserve them too!

How very sweet of your friend to think of you! And that rose bush will be a valentine remembrance each day! Great surprises!
ReplyDeleteAwe! Those are the best kind of Valentines! :)

Unexpected surprised are the best! You are such a lovely, warm lady with a heart of gold to boot! It comes through in every post that you share with us. Happy Valentine's Day, Marty!
ReplyDeleteAwesome! What a pleasant surprise!! :)
ReplyDeleteHow Sweet! I just told DH yesterday I'd rather have a rose BUSH that I can enjoy for years for the same price as a bouquet of cut roses that will die within a week. Your miniature ones are beautiful, Marty...love the color!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card from Gloria, too! I must look for some like that, since all my friends drink tea. :-)
I'd say you're doing pretty good for someone who "doesn't celebrate" Valentines Day! LOL
Hugs,
Rett
Very nice what a nice surprise. I love things like that when they happen and people are kind.
ReplyDeleteVery pretty card.
Hug,
