The first of March marked the 45th wedding anniversary of my husband and me.
The anniversary day was truly blessed.
Our daughter surprised us by bringing over a delicious lunch from our favorite Indian restaurant, Mint, in western Massachusetts.
Some people may dislike the flavors and spices used in cooking from India but we love them.
It was just a delectable treat.
She also brought a bouquet of gorgeous spring flowers.
Throughout the day, people stopped by and brought more gifts of love, including two more bouquets of flowers, more food, a bottle of my favorite wine, and a little cake with HAPPY ANNIVERSARY written on the top of the fluffy white frosting.
We will show you the flowers on another post.
One of the bouquets is all white roses. In a round crystal vase, they look so very stunning.
My heart just about overflowed with all the love that came our way.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HELPS A COUPLE HAVE A LONG MARRIAGE?
Some people have tremendous self-restraint when it comes to waiting for Christmas to open up gifts.
I am not one of them.
As soon as someone gives me a gift, it's a sure thing that it will be opened on the spot.
A very dear friend, Jana, sent me a box of delightful gifties and it was sheer enjoyment to open every one of them.
Only some of the gifts are shown in this post!
Jana is a girl who has an elegant touch.
Even the handmade card she sent was extremely beautiful and unique. It sits at the top of the card holder in the hall.
The little golden angel, nestled on cotton inside a box, now flies from a nail in the window of the kitchen door.
Oh, she's a little cherished dear.
Four sparkling pink birdies have taken up residence on the pink and little white Victorian tree in the dining room.
In Spanish, "Feliz Navidad" is how one says Merry Christmas.
Imagine my delight when I saw the holiday socks that had a fuzzy sheep on them and the following words:
It is my sincerest hope that my dear friend knows how her gifts from the heart touched my own heart!
DO YOU WAIT UNTIL CHRISTMAS DAY TO OPEN PRESENTS?
