I love hearts in nature – this is a beautiful shot – not taken by me (proper attributes beneath the pic).

Hubbymoose and I do not, as a rule, celebrate what he calls a hallmark holiday. We have been together a very long time. Thinking back, I don’t think we ever made a very big deal of the day . . . several reasons: he is not a flower person (doesn’t like cut flowers he says, because they too soon die); he doesn’t like chocolate (never mind that I do – haha – just ask my hips); he “can’t remember” dates.

That last one is probably the closest to being true. In Alaska, especially in the depths of winter, we all too often go day to day, go to work, go to the gym, go to church, without thinking of DATES, but only days. This is one reason I have a work calendar so I can remember where I am supposed to be and when.

So, dates like February 14th slip by us.

Except that it is our youngest grandson’s birthday. We remember that!!!

Happy birthday buddy. We love you.
