That which evermore attends you...

Happy Valentine's!

And happy February, a month of sugar and snow.
(Good cloud recipe here )I am turning 29 next week, so you can imagine when I was little, this 10 day span felt special and spun together : hearts, lace, birthday all in one.


...and Valentine's is for galentines! (Our next lady tea party was at Upstairs on The Square).
Love and hugs, creative ladies: Kate, Renee, Amanda, Caryn, Ellen.

On a love note, I'm in the middle of reading a collection of correspondence written between a famous couple during the Revolutionary War, historical "love letters" just in time for Valentine's. It's good T reading while I'm flying over marshes and through the very towns those letters probably traveled. John and Abigail Adams sustain a nearly three hundred year old romance, one that their children, children's children, my town Quincy, and an entire country still flourishes from...

The letters are heavy with politics and the vocabulary requires my new Kindle dictionary, but the affection is simple and clear between the lines and especially beautiful in the way they sign their letters:

..."And that which at all times and in all places evermore attends you is the most affectionate regard of your, Abigail Adams"<3 My favorite view in town:  John & Abigails' Peace Field.
Tonight, we'll be at the Pru for a meal at the very tippity top of the city. I can't wait to watch Boston glitter from way up high, and I will be sure to look for Quincy and think of John and Abigail. Wishing you a good love story.
