Enjoyed the day with my daughter.  Bit of shopping at Walmart and then off to the beach. Water was still too cold to do more than stick my toes in but it was nice and sunny.  I'll be taking her back up to Troy tomorrow and it wont be until summer break until I see her again. Sometimes I really wish I could just stay up there with her but I have to let her live her life.  I'm very grateful that both of my kids still include me in their lives.

Valentine's Day

One day out of the year, we are reminded to say "I LOVE YOU".  

Some of us say it all the time and its extra special when it's also your anniversary, like it was mine and Thomas'.  We have been together for 10 years now, married for 6 and still going strong. 

Not a day goes by that we don't say those 3 little words to each other.  

I love you Tom.
