• I'm a little late wishing my favorite people a Happy valentine's day....but then I'm not sure just one day is enough to express my love and appreciation to my husband of 34 years (and counting!).  He has been the joy of my life and I thank God for him.  We were telling Candace the other day how after you've been married for so long you can complete sentences for each other, and know what the other person is thinking.  It's uncanny, but an obvious way of realizing that "one flesh" is very real after you've been married for years.  I can remember my parents talking about the same thing and I always loved to hear them talk about each other with so much love and affection. 

  So.....even though I didn't buy anything expensive and even though we aren't even going out to eat (not sure I would want to on this day!), I just want Doyle to know that he is my very special "valentine" and I am so thankful God gave him to me.

  My other special valentines have to be my adult children and their spouses and the grandchildren.  How nice of God to give us young children to love as we get older.  The first time around it is so much work and I was always so busy just making sure they were fed, clothed and relatively polite.  But with grandkids................they are perfect just because they ARE!!!

  Happy Valentine's Day to my family and friends.  (If you are reading this, this special day was made with you in mind!).
