I was just given flowers for the 1st time in my life! Purple tulips.....

[Rowdyboy]

Tomorrow is my 52nd birthday and my guy blew me away tonight by showing up with flowers. Neither he nor anyone else has ever done that for me (and I've never given him any either).

Its nice to finally see how it feels.

Now he's gone to the gym and I've got to get dinner ready, but I'll do it with a goofy smile on my face. I feel like a million dollars!

1. Aww. Happy Birthday!

[Rowdyboy]

12. Thanks.....

It was an "Awwwww...." moment

[Call Me Wesley]

2. That's so nice!

Have a wonderful birthday tomorrow! :toast:

[Rowdyboy]

13. It totally made my day....

[SeattleGirl]

3. How sweet!

I love getting flowers, for any reason or for no reason. That's so nice that your SO thought to do that.

And happy birthday to you, too! :party:

[Rowdyboy]

14. Both nice and surprising.....

For some reason, we rarely give each other personal gifts

[SeattleGirl]

26. Some couples are just that way

It's the connection you have that is most important.

[Alleycat]

4. Happy Birthday!

Love tulips. My favorite are white.

[Rowdyboy]

15. He, he knows that tulips are my favorite...

[redwitch]

5. That is so nice!

I love to get (and give) flowers. Especially if they are unexpected. Happy birthday! I hope there are lots more beautiful flowers in your future. :hug:

[Rowdyboy]

16. I normally grow my own, but we don't have much blooming just yet

Give it a month!

[redwitch]

28. we can't even plant safely til Memorial Day here

and the local florist is a good friend so I stop in for a morale lift often in the fall and winter months.
Tulips in February is a miracle, as far as I am concerned. :hi:

I never gave him much chance to get away.

20. What more could you ask than

Perfect Lover, Fame

[Rowdyboy]

21. I wasn't going to point that out, but now that you mention it....

:evilgrin:

[Sanity Claws]

10. Happy Birthday!

I love purple tulips. I have an idea: go treat yourself to some daffodils. Yellow daffodils and purple tulips are striking together.

[Rowdyboy]

22. Picked some out of the front yard and did just that....

[Orsino]

11. I never really connected flowers with affection...

...but Someone who loves you did, and so do you, and that's really cool. Enjoy that goofy smile.

[Rowdyboy]

24. We both love flowers and usually have a yardfull....

But this time of year its impossible....

[TheProphetess]

17. It's a nice feeling, isn't it?

Have a great birthday! Enjoy all of the little sweet gestures that come your way. :)

[Rowdyboy]

25. They make life so very special....

And I'm so incredibly lucky....

[Maddy McCall]

23. Happy Birthday, my friend. I won't be around tomorrow to tell you...

Happy Birthday, so I'm telling you today.

That is so sweet that your guy thought enough of you to bring you beautiful tulips. You'll have to have them in the vase on the table when he comes home, when you two eat dinner.

:loveya:

[Rowdyboy]

27. He put them in the vase for me and placed it.....

We're having tilapia, baked butternut squash and turnip greems with fresh cornbread (which I have to go take off the stove!)

[Maddy McCall]

29. Sounds DELISH!

:hug: Enjoy your evening and your birthday tomorrow.

[lumberingbear]

[Rowdyboy]

37. I think I was Dutch in a former life....

they always get to me.

[Missy Vixen]

32. Happy birthday, Rowdyboy!

I hope the tulips last for days and days. The memory will last for years!

We sent a big bouquet of tulips to a couple waiting in line to get married at the San Francisco City Hall two years ago this month. It's one of the sweeter memories I'll have, that's for sure. Thank you for the reminder!

[Rowdyboy]

38. What a lovely thing to do

I'm sure they remember the gift quite clearly too. I know I would

[CaliforniaPeggy]

33. My dear Rowdyboy!

How very special of your SO to do something that fits so well with what you love as well!

Now THAT is the sign of true love, IMHO.....when your SO is so observant of you, that he knows the tiny facts that will make you happy!

And have a fabulous birthday tomorrow too!

:party: :toast: :toast: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :toast: :toast: :party:

[Rowdyboy]

44. Thanks buddy!

I'm still wearing that goofy smile, even as I'm dressing to go out and select the new walking shoes he's buying me tonight! Pretty good for an old man, huh!

[bigwillq]

45. He seems like a wonderful man!

You are lucky to have him and he's lucky to have you!
