Valentines Day !

When I was just 8 years old.....my dad gave me a pink plastic corsage for Valentine's day.
I still have it.   I got as far as walking over the first 3 boxes in my storage room and was balancing on a closed stool when I decided not to take a picture and post said corsage - or - what's left of it after 30 yrs and several moves later.   You'll just have to take my word for it.  It is was lovely.
Since then, my dad has given me flowers on almost every Valentines day.
This year was NO exception.   Papa got a job and wasn't able to deliver them on Valentines day so he delivered them a few days early.  
and although the card included everyone.  in my mind...they're still To: Karen Love : Dad
There were SOOOO many flowers that I was able to split them up in to 3 vases (Syd requested a special vase just for her room)   Are these not GORGEOUS !  The man has great taste.
