First, Happy Valentine’s Day who celebrate. I want to stay home and celebrate with hubs. I dislike going out for sub par dinner and celebrating our love with a bunch of strangers. Second, hubs and I are celebrating from afar and through a phone call to celebrate our grandson’s 16th birthday. He’s at home and hasn’t received his birthday card with a hefty check enclosed that we sent to his school. Either he picks it up when he returns to school or hopefully it’s forwarded back to us. He will let us know if he receives it. As promised, the photo is of the foyer front my older son’s new home taken by me from the upstairs balcony. It’s a marble oval.

Oh yeah, you're right .... I suppose 21 is a bigger deal for guys, right?

You’re not bad Thanks so much. 16 is a bigger deal for girls for some reason. That’s why he’s getting a smaller check and no Chanel bag. I’ll make it up to him on another occasion.

@rebelann I think so. All I know is that when both my boys turned 18, they couldn’t wait to go to college as far away from us as possible

Nice. I sure wouldn't want to have to change any of those lights, a latter that tall would scare the bageezas outta me.

Thanks, but they do have people to hire for that. We also have two humdoozy chandeliers that neither of us can clean or change the bulbs without help.

Happy Valentine's Day! That's a lovely chandelier and I do like the foyer. Poor guy has to wait for his card and check. I'm sure he feels like he's being tortured.

@DianneN Some kids are great and others are a real pain. I'm glad you've got the first kind. You're very welcome. And thank you.

Actually, he was very understanding and pleasant about it. He’s such a sweet kid. Hope he stays that way . Hubs told him that he’s always welcome to use our FL place if he doesn’t bring wild lunatic friends and if his parents give him permission. He was really pleased with that. Have a wonderful dinner and Valentine’s Day, too and thank you!

It’s their second house in NJ. My son commutes to work only on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday and can work from home on Monday and Friday. I can’t believe your grandson is 36. It boggles the mind. Happy Valentine’s Day to you, too, you silly! We are staying home and watching movies.

I remember turning 16. It was pretty special but I think in my era, 17 was starting to become the new 21. lol That's a very lovely foyer.

Thank you! He loves money more than gifts. That way he can buy what he likes or put it in the bank as he usually does, unlike his sister!
