Not a classic combination but nevertheless that is what I got on Valentines Day from my parents. It was a housewarming present for our new home. Of course, my dad joked that he was just making an investment and wanted fresh oranges next year. We got a Rebublic of Texas Orange tree (I would have picked it alone for its name), which is an heirloom breed dating back to 1842. We also got a Mexicola Avacodo and a blue berry bush. It truly is a gift that will keep on giving. Oh that is if I can keep them alive. If you read anything about fruit trees it makes them sound very fragile and a pain to try and grow. Oh well, we will give it our all to keep them alive.
I also got a lovely arrangement of flowers from my darling husband. He had them delivered on Friday. We then went out to dinner with the kids.
We had a great time on Saturday visiting with my folks and sister out in the country. Rebecca made gyros (from scratch!) and I made a chocolate cake (also from scratch). String and Butter Bean got to play with Granny and Pawpaw and String Bean even got to ride on the riding lawnmower with Granny. There was no fish feeding this time around and no one fell in the pond!
I am busy planning birthday parties for the boys. Also, I am trying to get my new playgroup to meet up more.
