Tuesday, February 13, 2018 -- Mattie died 439 weeks ago today.
Tonight's picture was taken in August of 2005. To be perfectly honest, I do not remember where this photo was taken, other than in Los Angeles. I want to say it was at a street fair we visited, but I am not sure. In any case, I love it, because it features two smiling sunflowers.

My mom has been a long standing member of a local women's group. Besides being a member she has also been a president of this group. I was happy I could attend the group's monthly luncheon and I got the opportunity to hear my mom speak. But more importantly to hear and see people's reactions to her message.
My mom was a high school mathematics teacher in NYC for many years. She is a born teacher, as I personally benefited from her skills. Unlike her, I am not gifted with numbers. I would come home from school, perplexed and unable to do my math homework. However, my mom explained complex concepts in very manageable and understandable ways to me. But she is not limited to just explaining math, she can present on a whole host of topics.
When my mom spoke today, the audience was DEEPLY LISTENING. She captured their minds and hearts! In fact, my mom ended her talk with a Butterfly World quote...... Love is like a butterfly: It goes where it pleases and it pleases wherever it goes! Given that Valentine's Day is tomorrow, everyone just loved this quote and the way my mom ended on such a positive note.
I loved the presentment of the luncheon's dessert! I can't recall when I have received a lovelier Valentine's Day treat!
Sometimes beautifully presented desserts do not taste good. But I happy to say that everything on this plate was delicious!
I came back to my parent's house and was greeted by these beautiful flowers! I always tell Peter not to send flowers or give gifts on Valentine's Day! As I really feel this is such a commercialized holiday! But I suspect since I won't be in DC, he wanted me to know he missed me! There is nothing like fresh flowers, they just make you happy seeing them.
Meanwhile, I looked up at the sky this afternoon and this is what I saw! A sky writer working on..... I LOVE YOU! I would like to think this is a Mattie message! Of course I know it is not, but that doesn't stop me from taking it as a sign.

Vicki, as you well know from our many texts & conversations, I am a sign person. I feel if we are open to seeing a greater meaning to things that occur in our life, we will see that deeper meaning. That is not to say, everything is a sign for me. Rather I find important meaning in somethings Insee or happen that have significant meaning in my life.
I think Peter's flowers are wonder. Even more wonderful, that it is not a regulat Valentine's tradition but also says, I miss you!
It must have been wonderful to hear your Mom speak and be in her world at this luncheon. I am sure you were proud!
