love to go around

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE this photograph of Jeff, my Valentine.  Oh, how lucky I am!

My Uncle David's HEART is indeed on the mend (after another unplanned surgery) and yesterday he was discharged from the hospital!!!! Kinda PERFECT that it was on Valentine's Day, a holiday synonymous with hearts.


I am so thankful for my Valentines:

Here's the Valentine we made for Daddy ...

I know in recent months this blog has become sort of a photo blog with not as much writing/substance, but I've got my hands into sooooo many pots right now, I'm lucky I make an entry each week or so.  So, bear with me for awhile...  I'll get back on board.

But until then, I'm just enjoying photographing my world.

This Valentine week I have lots to be thankful for.

I'm thankful that I have a girl who sees the world in her own special way:

I'm thankful for friends to relax with.

...friends to move with.

...friends to knit with...     and knitting friends who agree to knit your "Friendly Dragon Puppet" pattern.

These puppets were created by Sharon and Ahnie.

...friends to knit for.

Lori's rib stitch scarf.

...friends who give you tags like this for your birthday.

...friends to fish with.

...friends who inspire.

...a daughter who enjoys sharing an early morning in front of a warm fire.

...a daddy that ROCKS!

...a child who (although sooooo mischevious and sometimes quite stubborn) I simply can't get enough of.

...being outside under a big blue sky!

...a dog who loves LIFE!

...And these two!

Happy Valentine's!
