Someone sent me a valentine. It must be a mystery admirer, as the card was not signed. But it was propped against the front door and I found it when I headed out to get the newspaper from the end of the driveway today. That was nice. But it raises the delicate question of who to mention it to and who to to thank.

I miss the beach. I’m a water baby and I need to be around water to feel safe and secure in my life.
This summer I want to spend at least a full week at a beach. Preferably on the Gulf of Mexico, although the Atlantic Ocean would do.
The best way to spend time at the beach is in a full service hotel that is right on the beach. Book a room with a beachfront view of the water. And a tiki bar at the hotel pool makes it even nicer.

This Sunday is Mother’s Day. Sadly, my own mother passed a few years ago. So this holiday is sad for me. But for the people who are lucky enough to have their mothers near and dear, I hope they spend the day with her and let her know how much she means to them.
My mother used to be very fond of chocolates. As a kid, my dad used to take me down to the corner drug store and let me buy her a big box of Whitman’s chocolates. The big yellow box was called the Whitman’s sampler and she always loved that gift. I miss doing that for her and then sharing in the bounty.
