What Color is YOUR Valentine’s Day Rose?

I read about roses and their colors in Hints from Heloise recently.  I wanted to share this with you.

RED –  true love

WHITE – innocence or purity 

YELLOW – friendship, affection, caring and joy

PINK – elegance, admiration and happiness

ORANGE – enthusiasm, desire, admiration, attraction, passion and excitement

LILAC/LAVENDER/PURPLE – love at first sight, passion or luxury

Today was a great Valentine’s Day for me.  I finished my second day subbing in a 5th/6th grade combo classroom at a charter school.  The students were having a fun raiser; they were selling roses (hand-made paper ones) and chocolate suckers for $1.50.  One of the students brought me a stuffed bear holding a rose (pink one) with a note attached: Thank you for being a great teacher when Mrs. J. was gone. Sencerly, C.  I cannot even begin to describe the wonderful feeling I had inside when she handed me this stuffed bear and rose.  I must be doing something right in the classroom.  I plan to write her a Thank-You note.

Then, tonite, my daughter-in-law called me to tell me she had a "little something" for me for Valentine’s Day.  So I stopped by after Curves and was greeted by Isabella at the door.  Isabella had made me nice card at Church.  It read:  To Grandma Patty, I love you and thank you for taking me to the park.  Love, Isabella.

She also gave me two cupcakes she helped bake with her mommy.  Last but not least – her mom had me a plate of dinner waiting, too!  I ate pork short ribs, potatoes, and mac n cheese!  What a wonderful Valentine’s Day for me, today!

I had something small to give them, too.  I brought them some candy.

I hope you all had a wonderful Valentine’s Day, too!  I am bushed and ready to slide between the sheets now.

Good night to my OD buddies.
