surprise

i'm normally not a big fan of valentine's day. but this morning i found a nice surprise waiting for me downstairs when i went to make my coffee. a big red bag with heart tissue paper bursting out of it. i quickly came upstairs and asked the still sleeping gareth if i could open it. he said i could and inisde i found a mug for my coffee and lots of dark chocolates. my favorite. it was really sweet. put me in a pretty good mood for the day. now he's at work closing after i got home from opening. oh well. we're supposed to go out tomorrow after i get off. my parents came down yesterday. for the rv show at the rir. dad's retiring the end of the year and has "plans" of taking trips in one. sounds like a great plan to me. hopefully mom will let him sit around some too. he's deserved it. we went out to carinis after the show. mom's favorite italian restaurant in america. it was delicious as usual. then they came over to check out my place. got to see my zoo and help me fill the bird feeder. i've had a nice weekend.
