From my not-so-secret-admirer

Valentine's Day Flowers
United States
February 12, 2016 6:46am CST
Yesterday my husband took the trash to the convenient center and then planned on picking up an onion for his cole slaw at Piggly-Wiggly in town. I was busy on the computer so I didn't really pay much attention to the time. I did think he was gone longer than normal, but that's as far as my concern went. When he did get back he sneaked into the kitchen and I went to see what else he bought besides the onion. To my surprise he had stopped at the florist! Our anniversary was just two weeks ago and he got me flowers then. So I was definitely surprised to find a Valentine's Day bouquet on the kitchen counter! He really is accumulating a lot of points with me! Photo is mine

What a sweet guy. He knows which side his bread is buttered on.

I think that Abby's husband does the cooking over there, am I right?

@marlina He does the outside cooking I do the rest. He's the grill man, I'm the stove/microwave/oven lady.

@AbbyGreenhill The same in my household. He is the grill man. Grills and guys just go together.

You have a sweet husband, I am sure that I am not going to receive flowers (not even chocolate). My husband is kind, but not romantic at all.

@AbbyGreenhill Surely he can surprise me asking to work on Sunday because he has something urgent to do.

It is a few days premature for valentines Day, but I suppose that they will become harder to find by tomorrow.

@AbbyGreenhill I can fully appreciate that and it would be virtually impossible to acquire them on the actual day.

@Asylum Especially since its is Sunday and nothing is open around here then.

He isn't a computer person so he has to buy from a store and he likes to do things early..and since he was out anyway...

How lovely! Have you read 'Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus'? I must write a post about it - too long to relate here. Enjoy your flowers!

@AbbyGreenhill Do you remember about giving men brownie points but if they did something wrong they lost the lot? :)

Thanks....I have told me many times over the 18 years not to buy me flowers - I'd rather have a plant that lasts longer!

Hello, Abby! Yep, he is a keeper! I like how he did it ahead of time and you can enjoy it the entire day on Valentines Day.

He knew he's have a hard time 'sneaking' out today to get flowers.

@AbbyGreenhill Mine always left whatever he bought out the night before so I would see it first thing in the morning. He never forgot a holiday or special occasion.
