We were on the front porch, looking in the window at all our children playing in the little house my love is building for us.

 Before you think it was a peaceful play, let me say the generator was running, so from my perspective it was a peaceful play.  The reality inside might have been slightly different. 

 A song kept running through my head.  It had played a  earlier and the big girls exclaimed “that’s daddy!” after the first verse of  ‘Small Town Southern Man’.  Close! 

 When we started this, it was a dream of 7 people living all together in a house built with his own hands.  Now there is 8 of us – and it is reality – celebrating our 15th Valentines together ~Love~

 (No, those roses were not from Mr.   We did not “do” valentines this year for obvious reasons.  These are from my father in law.  How sweet is that!!  I got lucky with my in-laws!)
