My home is a refuge not only from the world, but from my worries, my troubles, my concerns. I like beautiful things around me. I like to be beautiful because it delights my eyes and my soul is lifted up.

44 big ones


My honey and me celebrated 44 years of marriage.
Best decision of my life.
Hasn't been easy but ever so worth it.

Mark spoiled me with 2 large vases of roses..
4 dozen in each = 44 get it?
4 cards
4 watches
4 boxes of candy
It was a great day.

I gave him a massage, new sheets (his favorite kind) and
the following love note.
