Valentine Fun

I climbed out of bed this morning and groggily (is that a word?) made my way to the bathroom.  As I pushed the door open, I saw a black box floating in the air.....well, on first glance anyway.  I followed the string upward to a giant Valentine balloon.  I opened the black box to find a lovely necklace....a silver cross with a gold heart.  Then I spotted and read the Valentine he left on the bathroom counter.  You probably heard me laugh from wherever you are!  His card was SO funny!!  It was so pertinent to discussions we have had that I took it to breakfast this morning to show it to our friend, Gus, who also appreciated the humor!  It was something like "my love for you grows....sort of like my stomach."

Since I had instructed him NOT to indulge me with Valentine stuff, I had not stopped to get him anything.  So this evening, I had to go to the church to pick up Casey, and we made a little detour to HEB.  I needed a couple of things and Casey wanted some cough drops.  While there, I decided to see if there was anything decent left in the Valentine section.  I found an incredibly accurate Valentine that just about matched his for appropriate comedy.  I purchased an electric can opener as a gift and took them home pleased with my fortune.  He let them sit on the table unopened until after supper when I reminded him to check.  I had grown impatient with waiting for him to open them and had put batteries in the opener already.  We didn't need to open a can, so we still don't know if the opener works.  He enjoyed his card as much as I did mine.  In part it said "I have stolen the covers....criticized your driving skills....and other things....,it's time to tell you....I'm your wife, and that's what I do.  I love you."

He and Casey worked together to complete the supper for tonight....grilled flounder, grilled shrimp, sauteed mushrooms, and rice/pasta/cheese dish....all delicious.  My gift: clean up the dishes.

Praise Him, Praise Him.....God is Love!
