The Allure of Love Songs
It’s just a few days until Valentine’s Day so it’s time to get your love songs play list ready to go! When my then-boyfriend (later, my husband) and I were dating, we had a favorite “puppy love” song, Bobby Vee’s “My Venus in Blue Jeans” — LOL! As we continued dating, we crooned over “Hey…
Just Sharing the Love
Aw! February — the LOVE month – my month of nostalgia. I remember those little Valentine’s cards we’d place in our class friends’ decorated shoe boxes. Oh, the anticipation of getting a card that a boy liked me, even if it was the pre-printed words on a cat-themed card: “Will you be MY meow-entine?” Just…
A Different Valentine’s Day
It’s 5 am, Valentine’s Day morning. Nothing new about that. That’s my usual get-up-and-go time to first thing post my blog for this day. But, something’s different about this day. It’s 28 degrees outside – the coldest morning so far this year here in Frisco. And, I’m all geared up in my husband’s ski-pants, my…
Grown with Love
“Nothing Says ‘I Love You’ more than an Orchid. Give your Valentine a gift that is as unique as they are. With graceful, arching branches, and exotic flowers. Orchids are easy to care for with blooms that last!” Those were the words and this is the image that Calloway’s Nursery sent to me in their…
The Chapters of My Love Story
The first chapter of my love story began when I was a little girl seeing the adoring love that my mom and dad had for each other. I witnessed their sweet affection for each other. In fact, my dad couldn’t keep his hands off my mom. “Roscoe, QUIT!” she’d cry out when he was waaay…
Kisses — Sweeter Than Wine
“Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth — for your love is more delightful than wine.” How’s that for a Valentine’s Day opener? Sounds like something out of a romance novel, doesn’t it? It is way more. It is straight from God’s Holy Word, the Song of Solomon 1:2. God intended us…
The Month of Love Can Be “Bah Humbug”…..if we let it!
Everywhere I look there are reminders: “This is Love Month!”. Since my sweetheart is long gone from this side of heaven, I could shut my eyes, allow myself to be pitiful and think “Please March, get here quickly!” But you’ll notice I refuse to go there, so much so that I intentionally post about love…
Welcome February — It’s the LOVE Month!
It’s the LOVE month and I’m especially in my heaven-to-earth love mindset as I’m back in Austin and getting to have a lovefest with my boys. Twelve year-old Bryson, who is the outdoors guy and I spend a lot of time outside. It’s my joy to be his assistant when feeding his many animals. I…
Happy Valentine’s Day, Old AND Young Lovers!
My word for today is “Valentine’s Day” – a day that St. Valentine gave his life for; recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance around the world Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite days of the year because it holds one of my most precious memories. On this day, the…
FEBRUARY – The Love Month
My Word of the Day is FEBRUARY – defined in Webster’s dictionary as the second month of the year – ordinarily containing 28 days, but with 29 days in leap years. No big deal. How did FEBRUARY make my Word of the Day list? Because I’m adding a definition from Donna’s dictionary – it’s the…
