love...Love...L O V E

But the greatest of these is LOVE.

If there was ever a doubt in my mind about being a bargain hunter, the doubt is no longer there.

Now that it's Valentine's Day, it's just an excuse to bring out those finds,  
my
 pink candles.

 I must pat myself on the back for buying these earlier. 

 I'm so proud of 
ME
for decorating with thrifty decor.

So glad Valentine's comes in the middle of WINTER. 
 There're the roses, bouquet of flowers and the softer touches of color that scream spring.

Did you know we enjoy family time at holidays, except for Valentine's?

It's the day designed for 
couples.

Happy Valentine's  Day.

I collect candles, candlesticks, serving trays,
tablecloths, runners, napkins and white dishes.

I'm retired!
 I have time to grab a cup of coffee
 and
 rush out of the house to the next sale.
  I'm just like that working person rushing out to beat the
morning traffic.

 I'm my own personal  shopper.

I'm impress with the person

who knows what they love.

Whether it's that candle that

sets the tone or the candle that  lights the mood.

Or a trunk serving double duty at the table.

Enjoy the day and receive the love.

All you need is LOVE: happpy valentine's day

There was a lot of love in this marriage...

We met in high school but apart for several years to pursue our careers.  I relocated to upstate New York
 and
 he spent time in Hawaii.

5 years later, I married my best friend.  We had each other's love.  My heart felt like it skipped a beat every time he shared his contagious smile.

He was that type of man who had a listening ear.  
There were times I felt like there was no one on the earth but the two of us. 

He had the most loving and forgiving heart .

We raised 3 wonderful children
 and
 have an adorable granddaughter. 

He's not here to celebrate this

LOVE day

with me this year but I'm enveloped with his love.

I'm blessed to remember our good days as well as our bad days.

A healthy marriage for us EQUALed

good times

 plus

 not-so-good times.

Miss you my best friend,

 but

I'm blessed to have been in love with you.

Until the next time,

Susan
