"LOVE" that... "BEAN" there!

VALENTINES DAY was a day
"FULL of BEANS"...
and LOVE!
from coffee BEANS, to gourmet JELLY BEANS,
 to pickled BEAN salad for supper! 

LOVE that....
my sisterfriend, LYNNE, from Regina
came to share a fun Girlfriend bond day.

LOVE that...
Lynne tagged along with her hubby, Mike,
yesterday when he came to the city for some meetings. 

LOVE that....
my son, Colin sent me a beautiful email yesterday,
including the first picture we have seen of his girlfriend, CARO.
They have been together for about a year (to my knowledge!) 

LOVE that....
Mariah liked her valentine gift of the little cupcake kit.
Jana texted a picture of her making them
with a smile of pride on her face! 

LOVE that...
today I get to take Mariah to her dancing lesson.
I created some little treat baggies for her to share
with her dancing buddies! 

LOVE that...
ELLEN continues to have these TUTU cuties on her show.
They are always FULL OF BEANS! 

LOVE that...
ELLEN had Sophia Grace and her cousin Rosie
doing the GRAMMY red carpet,
and shared that on her show yesterday! 

LOVE that...
ROSIE O'DONNELL did a fabulous
interview with TONY BENNETT on her
Monday show. 

LOVE that...
I can create fun little cards and things on this fun website
called DESIGN HER GALS

On Valentine's Day my little angel quote calendar said this...

"LOVE is a path to the heart
that knows it's own way. "
-Lamar Cole

With yesterday being the celebration LOVE,
I definitely had a LOVE filled day
for sure in so many ways!

Normally Tuesdays are a big gym
day for me, but this week,
our former next door neighbors,
LYNNE and MIKE made a trip
to the city from Regina.
Mike had meetings all day,
so Lynne tagged along to  have a
GIRLFRIEND BOND day with me!

We had lots to catch up on and
shared it over a little GAL-avanting...
 shopping, lunching, coffeeing,
and just plain having lots of fun!

I received a great email from my son,
Colin, who is not usually a
 computer kind of guy.
He sounded so happy in his words
and also shared the photo I included
above of him with his girlfriend, Caro.
 I LOVE it when ever he connects with us.

I had given Mariah and Beau
little gifts for valentine's day
and one of the things in the package
was a cupcake making kit for
Mariah to make with her mommy.
I LOVED that I got a text from Jana
 including a picture of Mariah
happily making those, too!

I received a nice Valentine card
in the mail from my FB sisterfriend,
Arlene K. in Penticton.
... I just LOVE cards when ever
I receive them!!!...
But who doesn't LOVE to get "real" mail
now a days!

My thoughtful hubby gave me
a nice jar of GOURMET JELLY BEANS
along with a very sweet valentine card, too.
He thought it through carefully,
knowing I am trying to watch my weight...
he chose Jelly Beans over
chocolate this year!
I appreciate the THOUGHT...
it is always the THOUGHT
that counts, right?!

I LOVE that I have PVR and
record many shows I LOVE on TV
to watch at my convenience.
Yesterday I enjoyed the ELLEN
Valentine's show, with the two
charming little girls from
ESSEX ENGLAND,
SOPHIA GRACE and her little cousin, ROSIE!
These little girls in their array of
colorful TuTus... just are truly
full of BEANS always and
so entertaining.
ELLEN has sure featured them
a lot this season, too.
They are just TuTu cute!

I LOVE that ROSIE O'DONNELL
had a fabulous and informative hour long interview with TONY BENNETT
on her Monday show.
I LOVE TONY... he is such a true icon.
He is 85 years old and won 2 grammys at Sunday evening's Grammy Awards
for his recent Duets CD
which came out this past fall.
Not only is he a talented musician
and down to earth quality nice guy...
he is also an amazing painter and artist, too.
I was fortunate enough to catch his concert when he performed in Saskatoon
a few years ago, and he really is an entertaining legend for sure.
I decided to make his two duet CDs the soundtrack background to my blog writing today... LOVE them!

Today I will pick up Mariah from
her mommy's shoe store and take
her to her dance class.
I put together some little valentine
treat baggies for Mariah to take
for her dancing friends, too.
I LOVE every chance to do
that sort of thing when ever I can!

Last night I enjoyed a nice stay
at home evening with my hubby
as we watched a movie together
on netfix... called
"NO STRINGS ATTACHED"
Always nice to do things together...
especially on VALENTINE'S DAY!

"We can only to LOVE by LOVING."
-Iris Murdock

I hope all my blog readers had a
LOVING sort of
VALENTINE'S CELEBRATION, too.

On that note...

Another VALENTINE'S DAY
has come and gone...
So it's time to SHUFFLE along
and now move on!
I enjoyed the LOVE I received
from where it came.
I enjoy a celebration...
and the those who do the same.
Friends and family are special
I've always found,
And LOVE is still what
makes the world go round.
I'll carry the passion,
where ever I may go,
I enjoy what I am into
and to share it, you know!
And it is especially fun,
to do this and share...
With whoever has interest
and seems to care.
Thanks to all my blog readers,
whoever you are....
I appreciate you reading from
near and from far!
