My grandfather sent this to my grandmother Christmas 1952 while he was in the Navy. It might be the most romantic, sweetest thing I have ever read. I cherish this card. I know they are looking down on me and my whole family this lovely holiday. I will meet my soul mate soon, just like my grandparents, I have a feeling they will send him my way the moment I’m not expecting it! Cherish your family and friends like no other, it doesn’t matter how many gifts Santa left under the tree, all that matter is love sweet love! Merry Christmas to YOU!!

Tonight I’ll toast a beer for you, my darling<3 [11.11.11]

It’s almost spring and all winter long I have been debating about getting a leash for my awesome cat, LeLe. I know, the whole concept sounds silly, but I honestly believe we would both really enjoy long strolls around the neighborhood. Keeping her indoors just makes us both so sad. And once I adopt a dog, I could never leave her out! Maybe I should buy this handy dandy book! How do you feel about cats on leashes?

I’m not one to have boob envy but if ever there is a day that I do my eyes would turn green for Brigitte Bardot.
