Valentine’s Day 2016
Youngest daughter Aleta formed a heart with her hands, and appropriate picture to lead a brief nod to the women I love on Valentine’s Day.
Kim
Photographing on Ogunquit Beach in Maine. We’ve spent a lot of time there detaching from the noise of the world. She’s shown me how to slow down, watch and listen. Had she not been a patient teacher there would be no Scooter in the Sticks. I probably wouldn’t have a Vespa scooter. I know I wouldn’t be as good a photographer.
I still hope to someday see her riding her own scooter.
Aleta
The only other person in the immediate family with a motorcycle license. When the warm weather returns perhaps we can go for a ride. Until then our adventures will be at the grocery store or cafe.
Hannah and Emma
Daughter and granddaughter. I’ve given up on getting Hannah on two motorized wheels. But I’ll start planting the idea early with Emma. That and don’t trust boys.
Lily the Hammer
The only female canine in the house, our one year old Belgian Sheepdog of the Groenendael persuasion. She comes by the name Hammer honestly. She pounds her Uncle Junior relentlessly even though he’s almost 30 pounds heavier. She’s a little battering ram.
And I love her. (And you too Junior) And Kim, Aleta, Hannah and Emma.
And not just on Valentine’s Day.
You’re a fortunate man. My best to you and your family
Thanks t. I am grateful.
A perfect tribute. Nothing more to say. Other than: Happy Valentine’s Day to those women and to you. As always, thanks for the blog and the thoughts and the pictures to accompany both.
Thanks for the kind words about the blog. I appreciate them.
Steve, I too find that I get cold sooner than usual and also sometimes find it takes longer to warn=m up after being in the cold for an extended period. Blood thinners jay be the culprit but here in central Florida, it really hasn’t slowed me down too much – yet!
Even in central Florida it can get cold. And when you have to pull over to get warm you have to watch a gator doesn’t get you!
Steve thanks for the Valentine’s Day post. For those of us who are without partners it’s nice to hear the words of those who love the others in their life. The pictures are quit wonderful.
I have to write things down sometimes to fully understand what I have.
Although, “That was really sweet,” isn’t something I often say to other guys, that was really sweet, Steve. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and to your beautiful and loving ladies!
Seeing your picture on your blog you don’t look the type to utter that phrase. Guess you can’t judge a book by its cover.
The best kind of Valentine, I’d say.
Yes sir!
To quote the late Telly Savalas;
“who loves you baby?”
Obviously the two and four -egged females in your life!
I used to love watching Telly Savalas on Kojak. Hard to believe he’s been gone over twenty years.

Great post Steve.
Thanks David.
