My Valentine

You are the gold

in my heart,

tempered, shaped

to fit perfectly,

to be a part

of my soul.

You are the shine

in my life.

A guiding star

within my being

illuminating me as wife,

now, forever.

You are my glow

that others see,

translucent visage.

You are

my blessed revelry,

my life's refuge;

my love.

This year Valentine's Day is incredibly special. I have the greatest of gifts, a true love, a soulmate, my true companion. I could never imagine a life so wonderful! I could never imagine (in my wildest dreams) of being loved so much. So, a very public thank you to my wonderful Rodney, I love you with all of my heart. I always will, Linda

Our Song 'I've Dreamed of You' by Barbra Streisand

I've dreamed of you

always feeling you were there.

And all my life

I have searched for you everywhere.

I caught your smile in the morning sun

I heard your whisper on the breeze at night.

I prayed one day

that your arms would hold me tight.

And just when I

thought love had passed me by

we met.

That first look in your eyes I can't forget.

You melted me with your tender touch,

I felt all fear and sorrow slip away.

And here we stand

hand in hand

this blessed day.

I promise you

as I give to you my heart

That nothing in this world

shall keep us apart.

Come happily ever after be

the man I'll love 'til the very end.

I've dreamed of you

my great love and my best friend.

Who Dat!!

This year's Super Bowl was just that - SUPER!! Rod and I were cheering for the New Orlean's Saints and we weren't disappointed. Drew Brees, in the photo above, was voted MVP after the game. He was outstanding as was the whole team. The Colts were favored to win. They featured the renowned and talented quarterback Peyton Manning, who ironically is a N.O. native. Besides the action of the game (with my darling husband explaining EVERY detail while serving up delicious snacks - he's the BEST!!) we loved the shots of Drew after the game. He was smiling, teary eyed and holding his baby boy who occasionally got his little cheek kissed by his tired but happy dad. The team coach was doused with the Gott filled with some kind of liquid. Hope it was sugar free. We are happy for the good folks in Louisiana, especially those in Na'wlins. Who dat?? The Saints dats who! Bye y'all! XOXO
