Happy Heart Day

I want to wish all of you a very warm, cozy, romantic Valentine's day. Tom gave me a beautiful card and a big box of Whitman's Samplers. That is what I get for our anniversary, Valentine's Day and Mother's Day. You see, this is a tradition in Tom's family. His Dad gave his Mom Whitman's on these same days. Pookie adored Baba. I am honored that Tom would want to do the same for me. The chocolate is good too.

Tonight, we are off to the Senior Valentine's Day Dance at Sunrise. The girls soooo don't want to go. They are Pookie's grand daughters and the only girls. They HAVE to go. Should be an interesting evening.

Laura's dance yesterday, was quite funny. Like I have said, Laura is my "I want to try everything once" type of girl. She tried the dance. She even tried taking a date. Both were duds according to her. The guy she took got bored after fifteen minutes and suggested they go up to ASH. ASH is study hall. May she always be attracted to such gentlemen. At least until she is out of college. Laura wanted to see why all the "girlie girls" wanted to go to the dance. She even dressed up. After fifteen minutes, she changed back into her jeans and met me at the door of my class. She was ready to go home. No tears, no disappointment, just "been there, done that, let's go home". Tomorrow, she and Tom head to Monarch for a day of snowboarding. Laura will take lessons, Tom will sit in the lodge with a book. She will spend tomorrow with the first and greatest man in her life. Her Dad.

Happy day all.
