I LIKE Thursday ~ What's your Love Language?

LeeAnna’s prompt:
what thoughtful things does your special person do for you, or you do for them? Little things that mean something to you... for example brings home flowers,
or folds the towels the way you like it, chores or little hugs when you're disappointed, shares secret jokes, watches a movie he knows you'll like just to be nice.


When I first read LeeAnna prompt I was put off! I tend to complain a bit, wish for more!


We have a routine , I do all the in the house things, he mows the grass and takes care of the vehicles. I can put fuel in my own vehicle, but he usually does. He does help change the bed when I clean on Wednesdays. I fuss a lot! I’m not as appreciative as I should be.


Monday of this week, he said, “ I have to go to town. Do you want to ride along?”He always asks. Most times I’ll go, sometimes I stay home and sew. This time I said yes. He said he was going to Hobby Lobby for plastic for his plane. He missed the turn! No worries! He missed the next turn. I was beginning to worry about his cognitive abilities. Finally he turned into the Events Center in our community. Then said, “ Guess the jig is up, I’m here to purchase tickets to see the Celtic Angels on March 6th! Happy Birthday!”







I was flabbergasted! Touched! And very surprised!


So yes, mostly our life is in a rut after nearly 59 years, but he can still surprise me!
Now, I wonder if I can surprise him? I’m not a very good secret keeper.

It’s snowing again so I got my snowman mug out of the cupboard again.
Do you have a special mug for special days?





This is a favorite supper. Follow the directions on the box of Lipton Onion Soup mix, add cut up Polish Kielbasa or other favorite fully cooked sausage, and a bit of fresh garlic. Serve with salad and bread.
It’s good with dark beer or wine if you prefer!






My holiday cactus has blooms.







We got snow on Monday, our granddaughter comes to shovel after dropping her kids off at school. It still looked like this on Tuesday morning! She does a really good job!



Then of course this happened and Wednesday they closed schools and city/county offices.


This morning on the back deck. I think a good 7 inches.









Today is my birthday and I had hoped to go stitch with friends at the library. But I can’t get out of my garage because of a snowdrift. And although the city plows have plowed our street, they pushed the snow into our driveway. And the expected high temperature is -1 F and not until 4pm. It is. -21F right now at 6:55am as I write this post. And it will only warm up to -15 at the time we normally meet. Too cold to be out and about!




Stay Busy and Stay Happy and Healthy and Hopeful!
