Here’s the monthly edition of “Where Bloggers Live” and today it’s “about a hopefull date”. Not from me though – I’m going to have to rebel and write about something else. I’ve hardly been posting anything in the last year, and I know I’m running behind on this one. Be sure to check out the rest of the group (links at the end of the post) as I’m sure they will be a lot more interesting than I am.
No, I don’t want to date anyone!!! I do love Valentine’s Day though. It’s a special day for me and has been for a good number of years.
My daughter came by yesterday to bring me some candy, a sweet card and a “I love you” balloon on a stick.
And, I still have some of the sweet Valentine’s from my husband (who’s been gone almost 20 years now. He knew I always loved elephants (and now have quite a collection), so of course, he had to find Valentine elephants.
Okay, that’s it for me… be sure to check out everyone else.

Those elephants were the perfect Valentine’s gift for the elephant-loving you. They are precious. Love their fuzzy bodies. I am glad you have them to bring you a smile. Your daughter was a sweetie to think of you on Valentine’s Day, too. How are you feeling these days? Has it been a terribly long, cold winter? Are you seeing signs of spring, yet? We enjoyed a 76* day today. I hope to heavens it doesn’t get really cold again because all of our trees and bushes are budding already. Have a peaceful week, my friend.
I’m doing okay, for where I am in life. Some days are better than others, and I’m SOOOO ready for spring. We had a bit of snow last night – not enough to amount to anything, but are supposed to be in the teens tonight -:(

Short, sweet, lovely and filled with feeling!
I once had a teacher who had us write a paper on a subject… The follow up was to write it again but in one paragraph and still try to convey the most important part.
Looks like you did that here, Miss Iris! 💕 Happy Valentine’s Day
Thanks Em, for the nice comment. Hope you had a happy Valentine’s Day.
Iris
Oh my gosh, it’s been TWENTY YEARS?! 🙁
That means we’ve known one another OVER 20 years! That’s CRAZY!
Your daughter was sweet to come by and visit you for Valentine’s. You’re rich in family, Iris 🙂

I know Bettye – most of the time it doesn’t seem like 20 years – but that’s what it is.
And, the older I get, the faster time seems to fly by. I am blessed, I do have a great family!
Iris
The valentine elephants are so heart warming. I love that you showcased them.
XOOX
Jodie
Thanks Jodie – I do love my elephants!
Iris
Oh the Valentine elephants are the cutest things! I love that your daughter brought you a treat for the day.
I do love my elephants – and I do have a houseful of them. I also have a great family!
