I have started placing the few Valentine's stuff I have. I thought I had more.
The little pink doily my Mom made for my bedroom, to place my lamp on when I was a child. This one is the only one that survived all these years.
I will get out some "couples" photos - old wedding photos of my husband's parents, my grandparents, etc and trickle that throughout the bookcases and shelves. Other than that, I really don't do Valentine's Day that big. Fall and Christmas are the big ones.
Yesterday it got up to 70 degrees and warm temps are back - not our summer temps but nice mild temperatures. While it is nice to warm up and dry out, it's always a bit unnerving. Last year we had beautiful sunny and warm temps from mid-January to March - when we should have had rain. Our almond tree was tricked into thinking it was spring and then in March we had a frost. The tree never produced almonds last year.
Even though I am enjoying the warmth, we really need our winter rain, since we don't get rain in the summer like in other places.
Well, I'm not going to worry about it - it is just a concern that I can't do anything about.
Doggone it, he did it again. My husband misplaced the FOB for our car. I have mine so we're not stranded or anything. It's just annoying. Not that it will make a difference for now, but I did finally order the Tile tracker; mainly for him.
He misplaced it last week and we found it in his shoe. His mind is going a hundred miles an hour and when he is preoccupied, he misplaces things. I don't think it's dementia or anything. His mind is still sharp.
A while back, I made a wooden box and told him the only thing that goes into that box will be the keys. Key to the mailbox, keys to the car, the house, etc. It worked until he started putting other things in the box and it is so overwhelming, to look for a key in that box. He still has his work badge from CalVet in there.
So that is getting cleaned out.
He also carries the fob around in his pocket when we are not using the vehicle. Why? It doesn't have our house key on it, so why carry it around and run the risk of losing it? The replacement can cost between $260-300. He will pay for it out of his part-time money.
The tile tracker comes in 5-10 days.
Once again, it's an, "oh well...not much I can do about it." All I can do is show him the same grace he always shows me when I do something.
Is that a Valentine tree? 😀
ReplyDeleteLol, yeah I guess so. I collect trees knickknacks.
DeleteI have a habit of misplacing my cell phone. Don't know why, just do.
ReplyDeleteYeah replacement fobs are pretty darn expensive.
God bless.
Fortunately he found it. Praise the Lord!
DeleteMy daughter has a similar habit of misplacing her keys and her wallet. I gave her a tile for Christmas a couple of years ago and it has come in handy more than once.
ReplyDeleteThe doily is a lovely keepsake!
I do hope the rain happens this year for you. I'd send you some of our snow if I could.
Well he did find it. I'm pleased about that.
DeleteGlad that fob was found! I keep mine in a pocket in my purse, so far it has stayed there.
ReplyDeleteI love your little Valentine gnome.
I'm thrilled he found it.
DeleteThe gnome was at Dollar Tree last month and now they are gone; hopefully they will get the others in. They had 3 different types of the Valentine Gnomes.
That is the cutest gnome. I have a thing for gnomes haha. I was thinking of putting a few Valentine things out too, but I have a lot, so it might be too early. I love that crocheted doily that your mom made. I had one just like it that my grandmother made, and can't seem to find it. What a treasure yours is, and it's nice you still have it.

*the Chinese dish on my post was Kung Pao Chicken, soooo good. : )
That was my 2nd answer. Both sound delish.
DeleteI think it is easier for women NOT to lose keys because we have purses to keep things in.
ReplyDeleteDavid hasn't found his keys yet. We keep getting more snow so it is still covered.
I don't even have Valentine decorations!
oh no - for David. It's terrible to lose things that are important.
DeleteOh wow, I hate it when we lose keys, etc. So glad he found it. Love your little Valentine's decor. Cute gnome. I need to get started on mine...not much stuff, just a little color. Hope you get some rains when you need it most. We are back to cold temps again...54 now at 6:19 pm and will be 35 in the morning when we get up. We need more rain as well. I love the pink doily. So precious that it came from your mom. Those things are priceless. Have a blessed rest of your week.
