Six Angels for Six Granddaughters

Hello everyone, 
Welcome back to My Cozy Corner. I hope you enjoyed
My Love Story for Valentine's Day. HERE
My husband and I had a quiet evening at home delighting 
ourselves on Lobster tail and salad.  We also watched the
Westminster Dog Show. The dogs are so beautiful, and
some are funny too. 
The rain stopped for a couple of days, and I worked out
in the garden raking leaves, pruning rose bushes and
grape vines. You can see by the photo above I 
have some daffodils starting to bloom and the rose bushes
trimmed. The irises will bloom in March.  I bought another
angel at Tuesday Morning a couple of weeks ago.
Now I have SIX ANGELS FOR SIX GRANDDAUGHTERS.
I started working at Tuesday Morning in July of 2011. I was 70 years old,
and I had been retired since 2007.  I was hired for inventory in June
of 2011, I took a trip to England and Scotland and when I returned 
I went right to work. The next spring (2012) the garden statues 
started to arrive at the store. I bought my first angel for my garden.
I was hooked.  The next spring, (2013) I found another one.
A pattern was developing. Now I had two angels.
In April of 2013, I retired from Tuesday Morning. I was (72) and
I wanted to travel, garden and update our home. The angel below
is the first angel I bought. 
I returned every spring to find another angel (2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 )
Some are very light to move around 
and SOME ARE VERY HEAVY.
Now I'm 75 and going to be 76 in June. And the garden clean-up
is harder for me to do myself.  I've hired a gardener to help me
with the clean-up and digging some holes for transplanting
bulbs and bushes. I don't want to give up the benefits of
working outside, but I would like to save this old body
for traveling, photography, and table setting for my
blog. I hope I can keep gardening for many years to
come. Hopefully next week all the daffodils will be
in full bloom, and the yard will be completely clean
and ready for the February Journal photo shoot.
My granddaughters will be able to have an Angel 
in their yard one day...
I am looking forward to more sunny weather soon.
I want to play outside in my potting shed and have
tea time on the patio and under the pergola.
Thank you so much for visiting today.
Please come back soon.
Joyously,
Betty

My Love Story TBT

Hello everyone,
Next Tuesday is Valentine's Day, and  February 14th always has
  been my favorite day of the year.
My love story never gets old to me, Although I have been
married for 57 years on July 17, 2017.
The reason February 14th is such a favorite day is that
I was engaged on that day in 1960.

To view, all the posts in the mosaic  GO HERE
and  HERE
I would like to share my love story with you now.
I actually love Valentine's Day because it's the day I became engaged to the man I married on July 17th, 1960.
We met in the Spring of 1959. I was a senior in high school,
and my future husband was a junior.  We sang in the high school choir and one day we were practicing a song from "My Fair Lady." 
I looked up to the top row of bass singers, and I saw this darling face smiling at me.  I was smitten and amazed.  He was so cute. 
 We dated and fell in love. On February 14th, 1960  We drove to San Francisco to have dinner and see a movie to celebrate
Valentine's Day. While we were enjoying dessert  
my future husband proposed to me.  I said "Yes" and the 
rest is history.  
Thanks for visiting today
Joyously,
Betty
