Smoke and Mirrors again!!

Ok while Maddie is cutting up so St. Croix for our Raffle friday I thought I'd share two things I'm grateful for….First and foremost my father-in-law!!!!  Every Valentines Day for the past 22 years I get a bouquet of flowers from this incredibly thoughtful man and so do both my sister-in-laws!!  I don't think he knows how every Valentines Day I look forward to this wonderful bouquet, the promise of Spring and in this weather that's a gift.  More than that he's an amazing man who keeps up with his grandchildren , loves his wife more than anything, and writes thoughtful notes just when you need it. You can see it in his eyes, the love, the unconditional love that comes from living a long life and the wisdom of experience.  So today I salute this wonderful man who embraced me from day one and never falters from his commitment to family, he actually gets misty eyed when we are all together.  He lives for those moments.  My children and all of his grandchildren like to hang with him..imagine that when you are 75!!!!!  Love you so much grandpa!!

Second thing is I get to wake up to the splendor of my cluttered cabinet of favorite things. It still inspires me and makes me so happy.  We all need a place that makes our hearts sing and this is the place.

So tell me what you are grateful for, you know I'm listening. xoxoxox
