Valentine's Day

This year my Valentine's Day had a rough start.  I awoke to the news that my Granny had passed away.  She had been rather ill for the past year-and-a-half, so we knew it would be coming soon, but it still doesn't make it easy.  I think the hardest part of it was that she was my last living grandparent...now I've said goodbye to them all...BUT I know I will see them again one day in heaven... more about that in a later post...

Despite the rough start to the day, my friends and family did their best to cheer me up and help me have a good Valentine's Day. 

After our school work, some chores, and lunch we met some special friends who always brighten my day.  A new Cherry Berry has opened in Sand Springs, so we had some Valentine sweets together.  Thanks, Elisabeth & Sara, for inviting us along for a sweet treat :-)

Then, later that evening my husband treated all his ladies to a special dinner out at Spaghetti Warehouse.  We were afraid it would be packed with a life-long wait, but we got right in and the food was absolutely fabulous :-)  And the best part was that I didn't have to cook or clean-up!!!

My hubby also bought me some beautiful roses - he always knows that will make me smile - but I forgot to get a pic of those before they wilted.
