We never made a big deal about Valentine'a day nor our anniversary. He was usually not home on those days. The first year we were together I sent him roses. He was building a store at Powell & Market in San Francisco. He almost fainted when they were delivered. He really thought there was a mistake. His first wife never did things for him. One year he bought me a crystal heart. As long as his memory was good he always referred to me as his bride (about 23 years). I gave him a surprise birthaday party on his 49th. It turned out that was the first birthday party he had ever had. My "gift" to him was a hard hat. I stenciled "Super Jew" on it. He really got a hoot out of that. I have a picture of him wearing it while building the first house he built for us. His 80+ years old Mother always sent each of us a check on our birthdays. He always told me to take his check and spend it on myself. When he was to select commemorative jewerly for his 25 years with Walgreen's, he selected two diamond pendants for me. I enjoyed using my silver flatware on a daily basis. One Christmas he bought me stainless flatware. He said, I should save the silver for special occasions. I never told him other wise and put the silver away and began using the stainless. When he went the nursing home a counselor asked him what he was proud of, meaning his accomplishments. He looked at me and said, "my bride". It gets no better than that. My favorite picture of us.

Edna, so far what I've seen is that with sunshine, it has reached 60 inside when it was 30 outside. When it's cloudy, it might be only 10 degrees warmer in there. I'm wondering if the ground is going to freeze in there as the winter goes on. I think it will, but it probably depends on how many sunny days we have. Usually December here is very cloudy, but January and February have some sunny days. Speaking of toes, mine are a little cold right now, and I've been inside for hours. Thanks, FlowerLady, and Schoolhouse. 80 F sounds great to me right now. In fact, DW had a sudden urge today to get on the computer and try to find deals for a mid-February getaway to Orlando. She usually gets these ideas and then talks me into them, so we will probably end up going. TM

gardengirlz2 are you still out there? I just bought one also and am wondering how your's did and if you have any tips for me. I saw it at the nursery and although it's a little loud for me, I couldn't help being draw to it. TIA Alexis
