ust because I live in Florida doesn’t mean I don’t feel the chill of winter! We have had near freezing temperatures here that have caused havoc with our flowers, our pools and our wardrobes! OK, I hear the little violins going….tell someone who cares, right? I know it’s been more than frigid in the north this winter because I hear a daily story from Matt about it. I guess the temperature in his home is the same temperature outside mine! Well, I think maybe that’s why Valentine’s Day is in February; it’s the perfect time to cuddle up close to someone you love! Well, Matt and I wish you and your family a Happy Valentine’s Day! The rest of the month we hope you will spend some of those chilly February nights browsing our site, dropping us a line and visiting our sponsors and advertisers.
