We started our Valentine’s Day very early with a low tide walk at Emma Wood State Beach in Ventura. This was a very cold morning for Southern California and we were layered well and I had my gloves on. Our faces were very cold when we walked into the wind. The only others up and paying attention to us were those 2 doggies in the window! We stopped for breakfast at Allison’s in Ventura then made a stop at Target where we bought 2 bookshelves for our living area (I wiill show how the space was transformed in my Metamorphosis post for Monday :0) Then we stopped at the Home Depot to buy an upper kitchen cabinet to put in our bathroom for some extra storage. I’ll show that project next week. Now Dear had the perfect Valentine’s Day ahead of him putting things together with his hand tools!
While we were busy recreating our space in the condo the doorbell rang and the florist brought this lovely bouquet from our children to us for Valentine’s Day. So unexpected and so appreciated. What wonderful thoughtful children God has blessed us with.
Can’t help but show you…
Isn’t the vase they came in pretty with the etchings on it?
Then after all the projects were done and we got cleaned up we were ready for our Valentine’s dinner. A very lovely, fulfilling day filled with lots of love…
God is good to us! Blessings on your upcoming Sunday.
Photobucket is holding all my photos I stored with them from 2007-2015 hostage unless I pay them a lot of money. I’m slowly cleaning up many posts from this time period and deleting their ugly grey and black boxes with a ransom request. Such a time consuming bother.
Happy Valentine’s Day to you and Dear! The dinner looks yummy. We’re having salmon, pasta and brussel sprouts.
And we walked at Ventura State Beach in the afternoon. The wind was still strong and it was still cool.
That vase is gorgeous. What a grand day…you look so pretty in your pink!
Well, this looks absolutely wonderful and lovely. Hope you had a special time. Salmon was on our menu tonight…hmmm…Salmon a lot these days! Grin!
Oh, I am so glad you had such a lovely Valentine’s Day, Ellen! And you do have such thoughtful children!

A beautiful day — a lovely couple — and awwww, the flowers!
