I know I’m a few days early, but better early than late, especially when it comes to Love and Valentine’s Day.
I like the idea of taking a day to celebrate the one(s) you Love. Not that you shouldn’t celebrate them everyday!
But today, I’d like to talk to you a little bit about my Valentine. And, you know who you are.
I am lucky enough to have as my other half, my Number One Fan. He is so supportive of me and my endeavors. He is the first to hand someone my business card, while I am still fumbling around in my bag for one.
He is always happy to be my editor-in-chief and proofreader, even when it’s way past his bedtime and he can’t even keep his eyes open.
He often gets stuck with making dinner, cleaning and washing dishes while I am busy writing, working or blogging- and I hear nary a complaint.
He is very independent. Even does his own laundry.
And he is a good Doggie Daddy!
He doesn’t have a lot of money, or a Master’s degree, or a fancy car.
He does have a sweet, gentle nature, a fabulous sense of humor, a sexy bald head and a perfect toothy smile.
He is smart, introspective, adorable, respectful and hard-working. He gives the best hugs and does some of the best impressions and character voices…ever. He makes me laugh. Everyday.
His passion is music, he plays drums and guitar and he has an ear for languages. He listens to opera-Turandot is one of his favorites, he cries when he hears Nessun Dorma. And he doesn’t care that I just shared that with you.
He doesn’t mind that our living room has pink throughout and he puts up with my constant redecorating and rearranging of our house. He shares my flea market madness and my love of Italy.
And he puts up with my snoring.
Who could ask for more really? Really!
So, to celebrate further, we will be spending a nice day shopping and antiquing and enjoying a nice dinner Italian dinner at Vico. A full report on this gem will follow!
Happy Love Thursday and Happy Valentine’s Day everyone!
How will you be celebrating this year with your Valentine?

J and I got engaged on Valentine’s Day 44 years ago. While it hasn’t always been a box of chocolates, we would never have had it any other way. With two wonderful sons, and two wonderful grandchildren, our life is rich and full. We anticipate the upsoming wedding will be filled with lots of love and wine!
xoxo to you and C -we have known you since 1994 (I think) and have shared much..HVD to you both!

Congrats on that milestone, T & J!! Am so glad you are happy still and enjoy your life in Cali
HVD to you and Jeffy
