Happy Valentines Day!

Good Morning...up until I opened the grill, I made every special day extra special. ..,,,, beautiful hand made Easter baskets for my boys with a new outfit for each. Halloween they had the cutest candy sack and adorable costume and being my Valentine was a must with candy, some little trinket, dinner and whatever else they wanted. Flash forward to the grill opening and well let's just say it all went downhill and I never have received the mom of the year award again. A few years ago , when Taylor was a senior, I walked into a dark kitchen early on the morning of February 14th, stumbling half a sleep to make my coffee I turn on the light and low and behold the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen. I squealed with delight .." Oh he did so good and yes precious.." He made me feel special after all these years. As I am walking out the door to the grill I don't want to leave his beautiful flowers behind, so I grab them, buckle them into the back seat and off I went. I brought them into the grill & proudly displayed them on the bar...... ummm, yes for all to see. 7:00 am rolls around and my phone starts barking( Taylor's ring) I answer and immediately say..." Oh Taylor thank you for the flowers , they are beautiful ".... But he didn't hear a word I said because in panic mode he is saying "oh my gosh mom, have you seen Mindy 's flower's.....oops!!!!!!!"... Happy beautiful Friday & happy Valentines day.... Who in the heck is Mindy was my first thought and then I burst out laughing ..... The flowers were for the young lady Taylor had just started dating..... & they were as beautiful as she was. I then realized he would not be valentine anymore ..... He had grown up. ........ I told Taylor that morning " just bring her to lunch and she can enjoy "our" flowers & yep the eye rolling started...... & the "oh my gosh mom".......yep just one of my favorite memories. I hope you all have a beautiful special day .....a day full of making memories that you can share with pure joy & laughter. 
BTW.... Mindy may have thought I was crazy but all these years later .... She still stuck with us💌
Happy Valentines y'all
