Today is rather a chilly Valentine’s Day in the Midwest. We had a few days of warmish weather that melted the foot of snow finally but more of the white stuff is on the way. It should be a quiet weekend that I’m going to spend at home once I get the shopping out of the way. I’m mailing my grandnephew his birthday gift. He wanted something that was Irish and had a dragon in it. As one of my coworkers said “he’s a good kid.”
My main Valentine for today is my Mom. I’ll get her shopping done for her as she hates to shop. Other then that I’ll see what she feels like doing and if she doesn’t really feel like doing something I’ll just stay near her.
Valentine’s Day should be dedicated towards others. So kudos to my brothers Reid and Jerry and Jerry’s wife Debi for taking care of our Aunt with Alzheimer’s. I know it is really rough on them.
Congratulations to my niece who has an opportunity now to do the research she needs for her Master’s Degree and help fight homelessness at the same time. I am so proud of her.
I received a gift catalog from Creative Irish Gifts the other day and I want to send a Valentine out to them. They were founded with the sole purpose of financially supporting the activities of the Irish Children’s Fund, Inc. They are working with the children of Belfast to foster peace and understanding between Protestant and Catholic young people. It is non-political and interdenominational. You can find more about them at www.icfkids.org and if you are looking for great Irish themed gifts try shopping at http://www.shopirish.com/
And of course a furry Valentine to both Merlin and Pixie who started out my day with purrs and cuddling with me. And since Merlin is now at 16 ½ pounds that is a lot of cuddling.
