knee deep in candy and flowers


...not that I'm complaining.

I've been dipping strawberries and pretzels in chocolate, baking cookies, making toffee, soaking grapes in wine, making roll-up sandwiches and putting together a cheese platter. 


I love Aldi grocery store. 

Look at all of these great roses -- $18.00 for six bunches. 

Back to preparing for the party.

    Sorry I missed it. That looks good. Can you believe someone scheduled two economic developement meetings for 5 PM on Feb 14th?

    I visited Jerry's place earlier, and he said he would be attending a Valentine's Day party at your house.
    What fun it must have been!! You put on quite a party! I bet you are a terrific hostess.
    I hope you all had a superb evening!!
    $18 for 6 bunches of roses??!!
    WOW!
    My hubby was out of town for Valentine's Day and he won't be back home for another week. I refrained from eating chocolate on V-day. It was hard, but I made it through without a single truffle.
    :-) Had I been at your party, I would have succumbed to those yummy treats!!

    The day before Valentines Day, roses were going for $45 a dozen. On the 15th you could buy a dozen for $18. You got the best deal by far.
    By the way, that candy really good too.

    Nora, thanks so much for the party! It was a blast, as always. Also, I love the blog even though it's not called "shaved heads". Oh, & that reminds me - Carlton says he is very, very sorry he was so creepy and opened your door to get my purse. :)
