High School Memories

I thought this would be fun. I've listed a few things about me from high school. I loved going to school, it was my sanctuary. I was a sponge, I still am. I loved learning!
 
I'm hoping you will list a few things you remember from high school too.
Okay here goes....

 I didn't belong to any one particular group of friends. I was friends with everyone. The brains, the jocks, the parking lot crew, the quiet ones, the loud ones, the artists and the theater crowd.

 I took college courses while in high school.

 I created artwork for the school magazine.

 I never bought lunch from the cafeteria.

 I used to speak French, Spanish and Turkish

 I loved classic films and jazz music


I  took extra credit courses during the summer. One year I spent three weeks recording deer droppings for the wildlife resources department!

Yes that's my high school graduation photo! Okay now its your turn!

Valentines Day Its All About Love

What is it about valentines day that makes some people panic ( mostly men, sorry to those fellas who read my blog). I don't think my husband feels any pressure on valentine's day. If he does he has never expressed it.

He always picks a beautiful card and writes something sweet inside that usually makes me cry...sigh... he has a way of sharing his heart through words that always brings a tear of delight.
He usually buys me flowers. I love carnations. They are often referred to as the poor mans rose. But I just love them. He does like to give me roses too. Because he likes the tradition. Then we have a nice dinner. We either make something we both enjoy ( this year steamed crab legs and seared scallops) or he has me pick a restaurant. Easy peazy.

For me I usually make him something. His favorite over the years was a simple jar wrapped with ribbon and filled with little notes. Each note had something I love about him written on it. I think I wrote on about a hundred pieces of paper that year. I could have kept writing, but it's nice to save some things for another time. I have made cards,pies,cookies,cakes, videos, paintings,drawings,photographs, written poems, etc. He prefers something I make, and it always feels good to know that I created something just for him.

So what's the big fuss? Relax, tell someone you love them. Give them a sweet note or card and spend some quality time together. If you're feeling crafty make a little something. It'll be the best valentines day ever.

If you don't currently have a partner ( or want one) it's the perfect time to do something special for yourself. Read a great book, watch a movie, soak in the tub. The possibilities are limitless. 

Happy Valentines Day everyone!
