We don't celebrate Valentines Day with big "go out for dinner and movie" plans. We're content to stay home and enjoy time together. And we enjoy sharing the love with family! I decided to make dinner for my Son's families....So I put together a couple of different meals..one for Phil's family and one for Jack's. I got a frantic call from my daughter-in-law, Amanda as soon as I came home from work asking if I could watch the girls until Phil got home from work because she was going to work. Sure, no problem! So these 2 monkeys came and played for a few hours while put together the dinners I had planned.
I had fresh strawberries for some homemade icecream I was going to make...good thing I bought extra!
I took off for a bit to drop off some food at Jack's and caught him home with his 2 boys. The girls were out working...and doing a school project. So it was men's Valentine's dinner night I guess.
Cameron with his glaring glasses, my son Jack still in his hospital scrubs (he works at a different hospital than mine) and Anthony....Hope you enjoyed the meal boys!
I found these beauties waiting for me when I got home from work. I love the vase with it's sparkly jewels around the rim and also jewels on some of the flowers..can you see them? I think you can see one on the pretty purple leaf:
When Jack left for work in the morning I knew he had on his Valentine themed tie...he has themed ties that he wears for any and all holidays...He's festive like that. However, when he came home I happened to notice something else he was wearing. The conversation went like this: Me: "What are those?" Jack: "Socks" Me: "Where did you get them?" Jack: "From my sock drawer" Me: "Who gave them to you?" Jack: "You"
Me: "I gave you those socks? When?" Jack: "Probably around Valentine's Day".....We have many stimulating conversations that pretty much go in that direction. Well, here's what caught my eye and I give him 10pts. for wearing them and for enjoying the simple holiday made for love...Love you Jack! Happy Valentine's Day a day late!

Hah, I bet those were your socks. So nice of you to make dinner and watch kiddos. What a nice mom and grandma you are.
My husband has a tie for all of the holidays he taught and had to wear a tie to school and I do believe he had heart socks.
you sound a lot like us give me a meal in and a card I am happy.
Your flowers are beautiful

Your husband is too cute with his Valentine's gear on!
You have to love a man who will wear Valentine socks, and themed ties! Beautiful flowers, and lovely family. You're lucky to have them close!
Oh, those socks with all those hearts! Too, too sweet!!
I love the photo of your "boys"!
Those socks are so sweet. Funny too.
Love the conversation. Goes a lot like ours when you've been married a while.
What a good person you are to deliver dinner. Nothing is more appreciated.
Yep you're a good grandma too.
Me too. It's the best job I have.
In fact my teen aged grand daughter told her mom, I wonder if you'll be as good a grandma as Nana Barb is to me!!! She will be but I loved the comment.
Have a great day Yaya and thanks for reading my book!
Blessings. Oh would you please leave a review on Amazon???
so sweet of you to do meals for both sons. funny sock story, cant believe he wore them.
We did go out, but I think I would have been just as happy doing what you did!
Having the family you made together around makes some sense, right?
=)
Love the socks!
You should be a fly on the wall during some of the conversations between Jilda and me :)
I think Jack "rocks the socks", and you can tell him I said so!
