yesterday, for Valentine’s Day, I wore a lovely red pullover that my beloved got me in Banff, many, many, years ago;-)… it is one of the few pieces of red clothing that I own…

a lovely reminder of him and how romantic he was, particularly at Valentine’s…

I received an early phone call from my daughter and had my breakfast in a heart-shaped bowl…

lunch was a heart-shaped pizza, yum…

all of which was quite lovely…

ended the day with a hand-delivered card from my little buddies next door;-)… what a treat;-)…

big girl pants, blessed, fun, furry, hearts, memories, moments, ready, Valentine's Day, widow

yesterday I remembered a bag of hearts, so I brought it downstairs and had some fun putting them around the house…

started in the bathroom with three small hearts…

then I put two furry hearts over the plants…

two glass hearts replaced the dragonfly and angel sun catchers which usually hang in the front window…

put the bag they came in at the top of the stairs…

finally, I put the heart wreath on the front door…

it was fun to decide where to place each piece, or grouping…

so I was all ready for today;-)…

put out a heart on the front door yesterday to celebrate Valentine’s Day…

then I shovelled the bottom third of the driveway…

a bit skinny, but I think a car would fit there, lol…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, charcuterie board, chocolate, cookies, delicious, flown, food, memories, moments, nest, not-for-profit, Oak Hammock Marsh, supper, treat, Valentine's Day, widow

I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day… from getting flowers from my beloved, to making heart shaped sugar cookies for the girls’ classrooms for years, to taking roses to my colleagues…

in later years, once the girls had flown the nest, we would have a special dinner… often steak and lobster…

this year I ordered a charcuterie board from Oak Hammock Marsh, one of our local not-for-profits, for my dinner tonight…

it was delivered to my door and looked festive…

there were cheeses, olives, crackers, cold cuts, fruit, nuts, herbs, even a bit of chocolate… and it came on a nice wooden board…

tonight I enjoyed half of it, and will finish it either tomorrow or Monday…

was thinking of my beloved as I enjoyed this treat…

big girl pants, blessed, combined, front door, happy, hearts, love, moments, swag, Valentine's Day, widow

had some fun this morning changing out the decoration on the front door…

last night I found the hearts that I wanted to use and brought them to the dining room…

got a last photo of the swag before I removed it…

then I combined two hearts together and hung them up… I have finally figured out how to get them to hang at the right level before tying them off…

I think they look good from both the outside and the inside…

a few days ago I put the L O V E letters on the stairway;-)… had some fun with the lighting…

also ordered a few treats to celebrate Valentine’s weekend on my own;-)…

ravioli…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, dinner, food, hearts, memories, moments, ravioli, red, Valentine's Day, widow

had a bit of fun today decorating the house with hearts…

put them in the dining room, living room, bathroom, den and on the stairway…

I miss my beloved… he always made Valentine’s Day special, with flowers, treats and a delicious dinner…

I’ve been looking at meals from restaurants in an effort to support local, but they are all more food than I want, so I am planning on lobster ravioli with lobster sauce for my dinner with a salad…

should be fun;-)…

beloved, big girl pants, blessed, celebrate, cleaning, corningware, eraser, hands, memories, moments, Mr. Clean, strength, treat, Valentine's Day, widow

been thinking of my beloved a lot lately… Valentine’s Day is coming up and we always celebrated…

as I was washing dishes I was reminded of his strong hands and how he always dealt with the seriously dirty pots…

he could clean them up in no time, unlike me who used the same items to clean them but they never came out as good as when he did it, lol…

today I was scrubbing one of the Corningware pots that we’ve had since we were first married… it looked terrible so I dug out the Mr. Clean eraser…

I didn’t take any photos before I started, just part way through, and at the end…

with a bit of elbow grease I was able to improve the look a lot… not as good as he would have done, lol…

not sure what is in them, but they are rather amazing and the pot looks excellent…

those big girl pants…

roses…

beloved, big girl pants, Boston Pizza, Decadence Chocolates, kindness, roses, spicy perogy, treats, Valentine's Day, widow

last night I picked up roses for my colleagues and was touched when my florist advised she had added an extra one to be sure that I got one…

on the weekend I made valentines for everyone using my pictures, an app to put words on them, and wireless printing… lots of fun… currently I have one as the wallpaper on my phone…

always enjoyable to treat them…

my beloved really loved Valentine’s Day… he always got me roses and chocolates and made sure that both of the girls received a rose too…

I still send roses to the girls…

often we’d have our favourite steak and lobster for dinner;-)…

been feeling a little sorry for myself without him, so preparing treats for others helps me overcome that feeling…
