Thanks GG ... hum, winter over ... you must be a romantic :)
And you also, dear Cameron, a wonderful happy ♡♥ V-day! Hope you are OK from your accident. ((Hugs))
I see you love vintage cards also, Rosey! Enjoy this loving day. ♡♥
Aw, how romantic, Gail. Yes, my day should be wonderful (attending afternoon Motor City Lyric Opera benefit, A Song For Haiti ~ dear friend the soprano) then a yummy dinner :) Wishing you a beautiful ♡♥Hearts♥♡ day also.
Happy Valentines Day!

How thoughtful, dear Kim. Though I'm definitely 'vintage' compared to you, I think we are both 'old souls'! Valentine ((Hugs)).
Thanks, iMac ... I just converted from a PC to my wireless iMac, stunned at the graphics. Though at times frustrated at the learning curve, I'm having a 'happening' ball.
Indeed I do, Jen! I'm impressed with your sharp memory, probably why you have such a focused eye :) ♥
Oh yes, dear Shady. I've trained Mr. Ho-Hum well (grilled herbed lamb chops, fresh asparagus, sweet potato and bottle of 1998 Saint-Emilion Grand Cru). I'm a happy camper as I hope you are :)
Himself remembered!!! (I suspect some prompting from the Gnomelets, but hey - I got a lovely card and local handmade chocolates - heaven!)
My husband and I are wanting to visit the Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village.

Thank you, Edith. Delighted to connect (I am a follower of you as well).
Cute Donna, I've often wondered about Cupid myself :)Trust me, you will not be disappointed visiting either Greenfield Village or the Henry Ford Museum, which reminds me I have hot been there in quite some time either. Time to take the grandboys!

As you well know, Marnie, clicking on photo will enlarge so you can see it better. February is over 1/2 over ... another day closer to spring :)
Wow, exciting news, Rose ... you must be thrilled! Obviously, your V-Day was wonderful and most memorable :)
