Flowers From My Boy

Originally uploaded by abroadermark.

Nope, this gorgeous Valentine’s Day bouquet isn’t from my hubby. It’s from my oldest son, Ethan! He surprised me with the flowers as I sat drinking coffee and chatting with my girlfriend, Earl (weird name for a girl, I know) at IHOP on Thursday afternoon. Isn’t that just the sweetest thing?!

For those of you wondering why I was with Earl and not with my man on Valentine’s Day, you may rest assured that romance in the shoe is alive and well.  Old Man and I celebrated the holiday the evening before with dinner, thrift store shopping and the purchase of a megapack of toilet paper.  See, I told you we’re doing fine in the romance department!
