Grateful Friday

 Things I love about Valentine's Day:

The colors:  pink and red!  You can't do better than that.  

Being at a school: the teachers have been wearing pink and red all week.  There are hearts upon hearts.  Everywhere you look, you know it is February and I love that.

Children: they are all so excited.  One girl raised her hand and politely wondered if there was going to be a time for her to ask everyone which color they wanted so she would know which Valentine to give them.  I suggested she do that at recess....

People who love children:  I got an email letting me know that if someone is distraught about not having Valentines, let her know.  I have extra Valentine's myself.  I'm pretty sure everyone does and you can't help getting a boost from being around such kind people every day.

Adam: my favorite valentine.  I love that his immediate posture is kindness and generosity.  I love how critically he thinks about things.  He never blindly goes along with anything.  (The guy doesn't have a partisan bone in his body--except maybe for the Seattle Mariners.)  I love how funny he is and I love listening to him read (although it often puts me to sleep).

Our party tonight: we're having 5 other couples over for dinner and we're going to play the Newlywed game.  I'm more invested in setting and decorating the table than the dinner.  It will be fun.

Erin:  Happy birthday!  I love that your birthday is on such a love-ly day.

You are my favorite Valentine as well. One of my favorite things is the way you decorate the table for the Valentine's Day party.

Please send a photo of your decorated table. I'm sure it will be a beautiful sight.

I am sure your party was a raging success. What a fun idea! We call Marianne the party girl, but you are definitely one too!
