Valentine musings

I'm of the inclination that one keeps holidays in their heart year around and don't need a specific holiday such as Valentines to let someone know I care. I also don't do the presents at Christmas thing because it takes away from the spiritual aspect of Christmas (at least for me) but do give presents to my family and friends whenever I can and more than that, try to say or do a kind thing for people near and dear to let them know how much I appreciate and love them.

Nove if someone wants to give me a box of See's candy for Valentines, I wouldn't complain!

Nuts? Soft centers? Milk or dark?

Ah, but we deserve See's candy EVERY DAY!

Melody... so sorry about your friend. My prayers are with you and your friends family.

I was musing the other day about something that happened on my birthday. I turned 55 and it hit me hard. A friend of mine replied, "yes it was an amusing story. My sister died last Friday due to stroke. She was 41. She would have loved to reach 55..."

That shut me up. Makes me realize how fortunate I am and how important it is to let those I love know I love them. I don't need Valentine's Day to do that!

Well, I opened my mouth and said we have never celebrated VDay, but last night DH and kids came home with a new wheel for my steel bike!! I have been diligently rebuilding my old steel Terry Precision, (circa 1986) because I figured if I crash it will take a hit better than my carbon Trek. I have pulled off the old grouppo and put on Ultegra with 105 shift levers, (budget did not allow for Ultegra levers), and a triple crank...all that was missing was a new wheel for rear. DH has laced up the front wheel, and had LBS do the rear because he HATES doing wheel builds. In a nutshell I NOW have a second beautiful bike...they even put a Specialized computer on her...she is gorgeous! I'll post pictures soon...I can't wait to show y'all how I have modified her for a lack of left hand/leg...I may be on to something here...
