I love my blogging friends. 
My mom and dad were married on this day.  They never intended to have a Valentine's day wedding.  They just decided to get married the second weekend in February and it fell on the 14th.  I think it is a very appropriate day for two people who were are so in love.  
An uneventful day.  I bought some candles that were actually made here in Canada and not in China.  I love candles and burn them almost everyday but I won't buy candles that have been godknowswhere.  I am breathing that stuff in so I am very selective.  Today I bought three Sweet-pea candles and I think I am going to go buy more because you can never have too many candles in B@rbara's world.   
The weather has been nice.  Usually this kind of weather makes me want to do some Spring cleaning.  I really should clean out the bottom of my closet.  I keep throwing crap in there.  I think it probably empties out somewhere near Denver, Colorado but I can't be sure.  Anyway, I am not cleaning.  I just stare out the window and watch the birds.  I hope I get some energy soon.  Actually, I don't.  I am content to just watch the birds for now.
I am coming up my blogging anniversary next week.  I have been blogging at 40 and Loving it for one year.  However, I have been blogging since February 2004.  Holy crap, that is a long time.  If you are interested here is a link to my first blog.    I wrote there from 2004 - 2007 and then I started another blog where I wrote very sporadically.  Anyway, what is the point? I don't have one.  I do like looking back at where I was and how far I have come. 
OK, bath and candle time.

  1. Wow! I never knew that Norbert was nearly lost that way... hmmm... poor kitty he just wanted to explore his surroundings... I have to allocate a time to read your old blog.
    How wonderful is it to wed on Valentine's day... It is the second wedding I heard of today... A student of mine told me that his grandparents in India did the same but they had no idea it was Valentine's at the time... they lived in a small village you see. So I guess the word never got out. I loved how you crossed the word 'were' in love and wrote 'are' so true... Love out lives us all... and continues through our children and grandchildren. What a love story... would love to hear more about it.
    So we started out blogs in February... Interesting... the month of love... you are full of love Barbara... I started mine on the 24th... well a day before that but I deleted that first post.

  4. My girlfriend was married on V Day too.
    I'll check out your other blog. I have a few of them going but it's hard to update so this is my main one.
    I love candles. Sweet-pea scent sounds so nice. Enjoy!

  5. Marrying on a holiday would forever prevent one from forgetting the special day!

    I too love candles and I was quite disappointed when my favorite candle store closed up. It has never been the same and I can't find candles with fragrances that last or come in multiple sizes.

    I looked at your first blog...isn't it fun to see / read how we grow or change or most of all reveal ourselves?

    Sorry I am behind on comments...this is the problem when you have 4 blogs! I know, I know...but I do enjoy them each for what they are though it makes it hard to write on each and then read all the bloggers I love!

  6. I have loved candles to for some time but only recently begun purchasing. About the China thing...I never thought to look at candles. I bought The baby a new hat with ear flaps about two weeks ago. She wore it twice on the school bus in the morning. The speech therapist is sitting with her the second day and asked me what was wrong with her ears? Both ears where the flaps were had broken out her ears horribly. I looked at the tag...Made In China....The most interesting thing was that there was NO info on the fiber, i.e., was it wool? Rayon? I threw it out.
