Our Valentines Day 2020

I remember a time when we couldn't even think of buying a card for each other.

We had 4 children and they came first.

Just to buy their Valentine's cards for school was major!

Do they even do that anymore? 

Our 5 year old bought several teachers, along with his Aunt Trissy, and his little girlfriend, bouquets of flowers!

It was all his idea! So sweet!

I sure am glad ours only did the little cards for their classmates!

(smile)

Now it's just the two of us!

We like that pretty good.

Love our kiddos, but never got to do this while raising kids.

I fixed a beautiful salad. (or I think so. I love salad.)

I bought Ribeye's but it was way too cold to cook outside!

I marinated them in Dales Steak Seasoning.

So Sweet Hunter cooked them inside on the grill!

They were delicious!

I made loaded baked potatoes!

We split a steak and saved the other one for fajitas!

I didn't even fix bread! 

This is "our place" to eat!

I know a family table is important but 

with just us, we love a fire and t.v. trays and our love seat!!!

(giggle)

Dessert was chess squares!

I will put the recipe on my cooking blog soon!

Well, this was our Valentines Day!

We loved it!

That's Important To Me

Not plannin' my day around the T.V. set
Payin' our bills and stayin' out of debt
That's important to me
That's important to me

Openin' the windows and lettin' in air
Holdin' hands when we're sayin' a prayer
That's important to me
Yeah that's important to me

Havin' somebody to share my life
Loving my husband and bein' a wife
And the very best mother I can be
That's important to me

 Tellin' the truth and bein' real
And feeding my family a home cooked meal
That's important to me
That's important to me

Plantin' a garden and watchin' it grow
Keepin' it country on the radio
That's important to me
Yeah that's important to me

Always havin' you to hold
Bein' beside you when we grow old
And they'll plant us 'neath that big oak tree
That's important to me

Believin' our dreams,
Still bein' ourselves if we ever get there
That's important to me
That's important to me
Yeah, that's important to me
Hm.... that's important to me

I want our children and grandchildren to know

how deep we love, what is important to us, and hope they have this same love that we do.

That's important to me.

Special note: We went squirrel hunting and Sweet Hunter stopped and carved our initials in this tree.

I loved it.

That's important to me.
