Unfortunately for me I could never keep them alive for much longer than a year.<br />I got some ginger snap cookies (made by my Valentine guy) and he also made Sweet and Sour Chicken for supper. Who needs flowers and chocolates when you can have gingersnaps and Sweet and Sour Chicken?!Sparklesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02806553694200529082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-40617077956462485112016-02-14T17:20:54.037-06:002016-02-14T17:20:54.037-06:00Sue - Awww, you know he went to some trouble to ge...Sue - Awww, you know he went to some trouble to get that tea for you.

I can't keep any in the house because the cats nibble on them. It's always a challenge to find a place to put them where they can't reach them! My bf told me this morning he'd planned breakfast in bed, but we both slept in because the power went out for nearly 3 hours overnight on the coldest night of the year, -42C...crazy. With 3 dogs and 3 cats in bed with us, we kept warm enough though! Time to start thinking of a generator...anyway, we'll be having a nice dinner. Filet mignon with cognac sauce for him, grilled trout with apple salsa for me, some roasted potatoes and green beans...then a Frangelico cheesecake that I'm just making now with some sparkling wine by the fireplace. :)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-54662836776886591992016-02-14T10:14:08.763-06:002016-02-14T10:14:08.763-06:00What a blessing.

We both are tremendously stubborn (one of us is pig-headed, the other mule-headed) and can make the sparks fly (not good ones!) when we don't agree. Papa Pea's older brother was a professional astrologist and in comparing our charts before we married said we would never be able to get along and be happy together. That was going on 53 years ago now. ;o}Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-84552896977230267352016-02-14T09:40:50.283-06:002016-02-14T09:40:50.283-06:00Kim - I think you have the right idea about the tr...Kim - I think you have the right idea about the true meaning of Valentine's Day . . . to be grateful and appreciative and happy for ALL the love in our lives!Mama Peahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03649357184167949247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1423140573667417407.post-26446919683741205872016-02-14T09:26:53.731-06:002016-02-14T09:26:53.731-06:00What a wonderful treat to come home to!
