Happy Day of Love!



No matter how old we get, being given gifts sends us back to being a child again.

When the doorbell rang yesterday, I wondered who was paying an afternoon visit. It was a dear and cherished long-time friend from high school.




We've had very different lives.  After high school, I left town and, except to visit, didn't come back for decades.

My beloved friend, on the other hand, almost never left.  She had four kids and a busy life. 

She is an extremely generous soul.   She survived breast cancer and hit the five year mark.  For that I am so grateful that it squeezes my heart.

So she comes in yesterday with a bag filled with Valentine goodies.

There was the beautiful card shown at the top of this post, plus this card with the sweet message:




This box will be good for pens and has a nice verse on the outside.


I happen to love girly figurines and this lovely lady joined her "cousins" in the curio cabinet. She's holding a lovely bunch of flowers!






The gift bag seemed bottomless and I was glad!  Ripping apart the red tissue paper felt like birthday fun.

She gave me two notepads, too, and one is a sparkler! It came with a lah lah pen, too.




Of course there was chocolate! (And a separate box for my husband!)




And the charming heart shown above in this post.

Also, a "Friendship" cup with a bag of candy inside.




Oh yes, and precious flowers, too!



Then my hubs presented me with a beautiful red rose and baby's breath! I popped it into an elegant wine decanter.



Wow, what a pre-Valentine's Day it turned out to be. 

I feel so blessed to have so much love in my life!

Today, to everyone reading this, I wish you a fabulous day of love! 

WHAT WAS ONE OF THE BEST VALENTINE GIFTS YOU EVER RECEIVED?

For most years no gifts on Vday but a few here and there. A lovely x's & o's bracelet that is still one of my favorites! What a sweet friend to gift you with all those goodies. You deserve it since I think you are one of the most generous and giving ladies in blogland! Hugs, Linda
