it's so pretty outside today, the sun is shining but it is coooold. I decided to take Dave out for a car ride today, so we bundeled up and took off for a few hours. We drove by a tractor supply store and he decided he wanted to go inside (yuck, my least favorite store, We walked around for an about an hour and he saw some thermal long underwear on sale that he had to have, i didn't know that a tractor store sold such things, lol. I took him to ponderosa for lunch, which we both overindulged but had a good laugh at times.He thought I didn't notice that he made two trips to the ice cream bar, he was smiling like a chesire cat. :big_grin: I was sitting there looking around, then I looked at Dave and it's like i saw him for the first time in a long time. He looked happy but so tired and pale, it broke my heart i just wanted to go around the table and just hold him and make it all better. He's had a very hard year without a doubt with the stroke and heart surgery. I am so blessed that he is still here with me. Sometimes you just want to scream and stomp your feet :Tantrum: and shout give me back my husband, who took him away!!

But....tomorrow is Valentines and I am so happy to have my husband beside me still...imperfectiiions and all, from the both of us.

I hope everyone has a happy day tomorow, give your sweetie an extra hug, snuggle into him or her for a minute, close your eyes and sigh in pure contentment and take a deep smell of their essence and file it into your memorybank as one of those joyous moments in life. It doesn't get much better then that in my humble opinion. :cloud9:
