My Valentine Welcome

This heart shaped basket filled with flowers is always on the front door during February.


I hope my guests feel the love and welcome as they enter our home. This is the courtyard at the front door of our house. My husband built the arbor and we have bouganvillia growing on it. We haven't had a freeze in Florida in over two years, so the bouganvillia vine is very hearty and grows "like a weed!"

Betty at Country Charm tagged me to do this Bold and Free meme. Thanks, Betty for thinking of me. I hope no one is getting tired of these meme's I've been doing!

1. I'm blessed to be me because Jesus loves me and protects me and has planned my life, and gone before me to prepare the way.

2. I'm blessed to be me because I have a church family who supports me in prayer and fellowship.

3. I'm blessed to be me because I have a Christian husband who prays with me and supports me in all ways.

4. I'm blessed to be me because I have two daughters who have never given me any problems (even as teens!) They now have Christian families who are following the Lord and blessing them with unrebellious actions (they are reaping what they sewed!)

5. I'm blessed to be me because I have many friends who love me and pray for me. Most of these have been my friends for over 40 years! Some of the new praying friends were acquired over the internet in groups and blogs.
