Wow! It seems like yesterday I was putting up a Christmas tree! (I know I know time flies for me)
Now we have red and pink hearts decorating windows and storefronts…cookies, cupcakes and chocolate with “I Love You”, “Be Mine” or “Run Away with Me”.
For me…Valentine’s Day isn’t about the one day a year….it is about the other 364 days…. a reminder how lucky I am to have Juan in my life!
He is my best friend and I married him…of course if you ask him, he would say that I would have had a much L-O-N-G-E-R engagement and I should’ve said yes sooner etc. (wink wink smiley face)
Juan doesn’t have to worry about spending the outrageous cost for flowers or buy me another sparkly diamond…I really never was into that. A homemade card or dinner made at home is perfect for me.
Taking the time to do something special for your loved one can make up for any pricey gift or flowers.
So today I wish you and yours a wonderful Valentine’s Day and I hope it’s special. Especially if you live in a cozy 900 square foot home.

Our Floorplan
About Me
- Shawn and John (aka Juan)
- Call us crazy, nuts or temporary loss of senses. That's what they said....this is about the quiet quest to simplify our life! The process of eliminating the clutter and stress and taking back our freedom. Like many small business owners….we were hit hard due to the economy. We found ourselves rethinking the direction we were heading. Should we gamble and keep the big house and "stuff" because that's what everyone does or do we reexamine what is truly important in our lives? 9 Hundred Square feet is an open-ended journey in living “Smaller, Simpler and Stress-Free” lives!
We celebrated with dinner for friends here! Fil's mom's pot roast served on her red roses Prince Albert bone china and eaten with my mother's sterling Alvin's Della Robia, long since out of production, mixing our love of family with love of friends. Perfect! Now we're planning a corned beef bash for St. Patrick's Day! Will have to get out the green! Betty K. ;-)
ReplyDeleteAww Betty K...My favorite holiday...St Paddy's Day! I always remember so fondly the wonderful and special holiday event's you and Fil put on. I always waited with such anticipation the decorations and festivities that were about to bestow us as we walked in your entry way. Such wonderful memories I will always cherish.
