Eye Candy Friday
I know what you're thinking: Pink tulips, again? But these are very special pink tulips. You see, they were a gift from my father-in-law to thank me for making the cream puffs on Valentine's Day. This gesture just about melted my heart, I tell you.
And now you know why Dale is so thoughtful. He learned it from his dad.

How sweet! (Purty, too.) I married a guy like that - his dad was a sweetheart and treated his mom like a queen, and taught his sons to do the same. How could I lose? :) Happy weekend, Carole!

How beautiful! Both the tulips and the thought behind them. Yea, girl, you got a keeper! Have a wonderful week-end...and hopefully we all won't be buried in another 12 inches of snow...but, it doesn't look hopeful!

Lovely tulips - the shot of color is so welcome this time of year! And hooray for two generations of considerate men! (I'll leave the nature vs. nuture debate to others.)

How absolutely sweet! Unfortunately my father-in-law passed away before I got to meet him, but I think you're right, a thoughtful son comes from thoughtful parents.
You lucky girl!

Not only is it thoughtful, but it's brilliant - pretty flowers in the dead of winter will ensure he gets cream puffs for a long time to come!

How sweet! They are beautiful. There is nothing quite like perky tulips as we grow weary of the winter greys.
