Flowers and Spring and Dogs that look Cute


When we first met online in February of 2001, Gary and I got to know each other pretty well through the internet 
and phone conversations.


 One thing that he learned about me was that spring was my favorite time of year and that spring and flowers just kind of go together.


 We were back and forth a bit about whether they actually appear on the first day of spring...  I said of course they do!  (and yes, I do believe in Santa, the Tooth Fairy & fairy tales).

 Our love was new then, so he didn't argue with me.


 On March 20, 2001,  I received a box in the mail from Flowerland. It was filled with colorful, gorgeous flowers along with a note... 'Bobbi, you were right.  Flowers do arrive on the first day of spring'.  

I know.  Too sweet, huh?


We were at the grocery store the other day and I was eyeballing the most beautiful flower arrangement there...  and said a quick 'I love those!' in passing...


I guess my hubby does still pay attention to me...


 A few days later, here they are!


 Thank you Gary.  I love you.


Dear Diary,


Seriously, I don't know what all the fuss was about.  Mom is as goofy as can be.  'look at gracie!  look how cute! She looks like she's posing' then it's - grab the camera and see if I can't interrupt her sleep.  The woman needs to get a life! Gracie.
