V-DAY

               Happy Valentine's Day!!!
 
                                  
Hubby built this arbor for me for V-day. It is not done yet. We still need to level the soil around it and put flagstones down. I have the table and chairs as well as the chandelier for it.
 
                          
 
It was too cold to eat out so we decided to have our V-day dinner inside.
 
                   
A close up of the lovely flowers hubby ordered from Hawaii.  The table was set for a Japanese dinner. We had miso soup, hearts of romaine salad, shrimp tempura, chicken katsu and sushi.
 
                   
The sock monkey I made for my son's girlfriend. She came and had dinner with us.
 
I did not make dessert because we were suppose to go out and get ice cream after dinner. It was freezing outside so the kids bailed out on me.

I got your link by reading my sister-in-laws journal(mommylildevils).........lol. The flowers were beautiful. He ordered then from Hawaii, that is very nice of him. From what I can remember my husband has only gotten me one single rose. It sounds liked you had a very nice dinner. Too bad it snowed here, and since my husband works maintnace for the court he had to shovel the snow. So there were dinner plans since he wasn't home. I spent my V-day with my little girl. Maybe next time. Feel free to stop anytime and read my journal.

Love the arbor!!!!  Way to go hubby.  Mine was out of town, then came home last night, promised to take me out tonight, went to work again today and still is not back yet...so...tomorrow we will go out!  I hope you had a nice dinner with hubby and your son and his girlfriend.  That was so sweet of you to include them.

I am sorry it's taken me so long to get back over to see you.  Thank you for all your kind comments at my blog.  

Have a great weekend!!!

Hi D~What a lovely table you had set! I admire the arbor too. I used to have a house in CA that had grapes growing all over the top of the deck; I just loved to sit out there. Blessings, Deb aka. Sassy

Jealous...jealous...jealous over the arbor!  I made those sock monkeys in my younger days when the kids were young.
