Hello Friends and Happy Hump Day Wednesday
It’s the day before Valentine’s Day, do you have anything special planned…will Cupid be shooting any arrows your way? I’ve never been big on V-Day and prefer to get my candy the day after when it’s half price – lol Hubby and I may go out to dinner Friday night and I bought my sons a card and some candy from Dollar Tree, otherwise nothing special. I guess when you are single and dating, Valentine’s Day is more of a Holiday, but I tell my men everyday that I love them and the 14th of February will be no different.
I am still wearing red in honor of “America Goes Red for Women” month and will wear a wee bit more tomorrow.
We are expecting snow but not until this evening so I decided to wear my grey, suede booties to pick up the color in the shirt.
These Bamboo faux fur trimmed booties were purchased a few years ago from Burlington Coat Factory and despite their “ugliness”, they are quite comfortable.
Necklace – New York & Company // Rhinestone Buttefly Ring – Icings // Top – Old Navy // Skirt – Boscov’s // watch – Avon
I must admit that I am looking forward to eating a least a piece of chocolate tomorrow!

My sons were blessed to have had their great grandmother living with them since birth. My maternal grandmother who raised me, had lived with us for 16 years until she passed at the age of 98 on May 1, 2009. My sons enjoyed being with her just as much as she enjoyed being with them. When they were toddlers she read to them and played a lot of games with them. Even when she could no longer get down on the floor she still played and BEAT them in checkers.. Yes, she beat the babies – hey they had to learn defeat at some point in their lives!
She transitioned about an hour before they got home from school so they were able see her, say goodbye and shed their tears before the mortician came to get her body. To this day, they believe that Nana is watching over them and oftentimes talk about the good times and how much they still miss her. A week ago I got a call from the school because Malik was crying uncontrollably, he later admitted that he was thinking about Nana and all his emotions came pouring out. So it’s no wonder that he got mad at me when I tried to sell a jewelry box that once belonged to her at last weekend’s flea market. It was marked $3.00 but no one bought it – I guess there was a reason, so I told him that if he really wanted it he could keep it, we changed it to fit his bedroom decor (lol).
I truly love my son because his heart is pure.

My father, Talvage Cross, Jr., made me but didn’t raise me, I did love and respect him and he even walked me down the aisle on my wedding day in 1990. He’s dead and buried in Cincinnati, Ohio and there are times that I think about him but not usually on Father’s Day. The only time my sons saw him, he was in the casket and they were too young to remember the flight to Ohio let alone his funeral. I do regret that my sons never got a chance to meet either grandfathers, both of which are deceased.
My sons will never know the 2nd generation granddaddy love but they will always know their
father’s love.
My husband has an awesome relationship with them and for that Father’s Day will always be special for them but more importantly special to me!
