beloved, big girl pants, flowers, jacket, orchid, romantic, Valentine's Day, widow

been thinking a lot about Valentine’s Day and my beloved…

he was a romantic and always made sure that the day was special for me… he was also romantic the rest of the year…

been dealing with a few household issues lately and maybe that’s why I’ve been thinking of him so much…

on our last Valentine’s together he had a lovely card, a rose, cinnamon hearts and a jacket I’d been coveting from his work – all sitting on the kitchen counter when I came downstairs… he’d had to go through quite a process to get the jacket for me as they didn’t have the right size at his store, so he’d gone to another location to get it.. still one of my favourites…

every time I have flowers they remind me of all the individual roses, bouquets and orchids he brought me over the years… particularly during the winter months when I would often feel down… 

flowers have always been able to perk me up and bring a smile to my face…

dinner…

big girl pants, chocolate mousse cake, decorating, dessert, dinner, lobster, preparations, recipe, roast, Valentine's Day

had a lovely time yesterday decorating the living room and dining room for Valentine’s Day dinner with the kids…

  
ran out to two different grocery stores in the cold and was home in just over an hour with all the goodies I needed…

instead of steak and lobster, which is our usual special dinner, I decided on a roast with a lobster salad… that way no one would have to go out and bbq the dinner, as I could do all of it inside…

prepared everything today and even had time to sit and read for a bit before the kids arrived… dressed in red, lol…

  
followed a new recipe for the roast which was a little rare, but we finished some of it in the microwave for those who like it a bit more done…  
came out very well… although the little boys weren’t fond of the lemon dressing in the lobster salad (another new recipe)… which was odd because they love lemons…

then we had chocolate mousse cake for dessert… it was a big hit…

  
this is one of my favourite recipes, but I haven’t made it in a very long time… still delicious… I was very good and only had a tiny slice… the boys all had two pieces… they really liked it, lol…

  
our Valentine bracelets…

February…

beloved, extra special, hype, love of my life, roses and chocolates, tradition, Valentine's Day

February is coming fast, and with it Valentine’s Day…

we’ve always made a production about Valentine’s Day in our house…

when the girls were little I would always bake special event cookies or other treats for their classmates, and supper would invariably be on the theme… and that tradition has continued over the years…

George made Valentine’s Day extra special for us as the girls got older… he always made sure to get them each a rose, whether they had a boyfriend/husband who might do that or not…

last year he remembered a particular jacket that I had been eyeing and it, along with roses and chocolates, awaited me when I got up on Valentine’s Day…

I hadn’t really noticed the hype that goes on before Valentine’s Day, but this year is different…  every time I turn around I see an ad or hear a commercial all about doing something special for your sweetie… Groupon, Teambuy and others have been suggesting things to buy for Valentine’s Day since mid January… Pinterest has been showing DIY projects since about that time as well…  TV and radio are all on the same bandwagon as well…

my beloved was the love of my life and I miss him… I am still thinking about how I will remember this year..
