Roses are red...

Happy Valentine's Day.
I had a great Valentine's Day even though I am far away.

Through the tireless efforts of Terralyn, I was able to send the lovely flowers pictured above to my Sweetheart Mona. Terralyn had to order (my request proved too complicated for online ordering) and pick-up the flowers to deliver to Mona. A bit incovenient but not a big deal unless you factor in the "blizzard" like conditions in central Indiana. Terralyn got stuck twice while playing her role as Cupid. Much, much thanks to Terralyn.

We had a lovely dinner with some friends. It was quite the feast. We even used a no-bake cheesecake dessert with freshly puréed strawberries drizzled on top. I also shared my bounty of Necco Sweethearts with my Albanian (and American) friends. Surprisingly Albanians already know about Valentine's Day but the candy was a new treat. I loved explaining the words on the hearts, I Love You, Go Girl, Awesome, etc.
