Final Preparation for Lightnin's Arrival

Lightnin comes in tomorrow, so I've made a few last minute preparations.




25 Red Roses in the dining room, one for each year of our marriage (oh the pink one was a freebie that I'll place on her pillow before I head to the airport to pick her up).








Some type of Orange Daisy's (I don't know, but hey I thought they looked good), and some Yellow Roses in the living room.










Yellow Roses and some type of a Lilly (Again, I don't know, but they look good).

She'll be surprised to see them when see gets here! You see, I waited until I knew she was on the plane before I posted this! (he,he,he!)

I bet you're thinking I spent a small fortune on these too.


3 vases: 75RMB ($10.71)
25 Red Roses: 35RMB ($5.00)
20 Yellow Roses: 30RMB ($4.28)
10 Lilly's: 15RMB ($2.14)
12 special Daisy's: 10RMB ($1.43)
Seeing the surprise on Lightnin's face: Priceless!

What a well laid plan, and exquisite looking flowers. I do believe she will surprised. Now it is time to relax and enjoy. NOT run her all over town and show her a great time’S T E B

Brother J - I know the prices of everything are unreal! She'll be here for 2 weeks this trip.

STEB - Oh she get's to rest this first week while I'm at work, but today when she lands it's better to stay up and walk around until dark to help get switched over to the time change!

Do you know that you just raised the bar for every other man!?... and then showing it off like this...I THINK THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL, but she will prolly have hearts blinking in her eyes when she walks out the gate to see you!
I wish you a unforgetable great time together.

Brother J - Still holding at 8kg loss. It looks like the rest is going to take more work.

FC - Well the flowers and a trip to Beijing, to Brussels, to Italy, to Hawaii.......

RBP - Is that you? Yea, I knew I was sort of breaking the "Guy Code" by putting those pics out there, but hey she bought me the Harley first!

Spc. Dude - You can always hold out for the Harley first!

Be sure to let me know how that works out for ya! ;-)
Sorry we weren't able to get through this past weekend, we'll try again this coming weekend!

Good job, hang in there I know you can do it.
Lightnin, glad you made it there safely. I geuss you decided to leave your hammer at home this trip. Enjoy,enjoy, enjoy, but no one needs to remind either of you to do that!
Love always,
Bro J

Little Dark Cloud - So it was you and not RBP!

Well, my statement still stands as is! Except I will add this to the mix: I actually improved the arrangment in the bedroom by placing some of those orange flowers around the bottom of the roses. Lightnin has a picture of that she can share with you!

RBP - Lightnin misled me into thinking you were someone else. Hey it took 25 years for me! ;-)
