just send me strawberries, please.

so my husband brings home a 5 pound bouquet of berries for me, instead of a dozen roses. he gets me. he gets my love for practical gifts. (and strawberries.) sometimes he brings a block of good cheese, a box of my fave cereal, a carton of something organic and yummy, some amazing-looking romaine lettuce, a box of oranges, or something else as exciting. groceries make incredible gifts, right? not that you'd catch me being ungrateful for flowers.

thank you, grant. i love you for all the little things you do. i love you for gifting groceries. i love you for letting me read @bluthquotes twitter feed to you over the phone. i love you for sharing the sink with me while we brush our teeth, instead of taking turns. i love you for telling me when my nose is bleeding. i love you for being into whatever i'm into. i love you for being serious in public and crazy when you're home with me. the crazy that makes me laugh my real laugh. i love you for taking care of me and the babes. i'm sure he/she says thank you for the berries, too.

Very nice! I love thoughtful, personal gifts like that as opposed to cliche, obligatory ones. : ) And your strawberry photos are making my mouth water...

Marisa said...

Gorgeous photos! I'm a sucker for grocery gifts, too. Way tastier than flowers. :)

I love Grant, (in a cousin-sort-of-way) for his comment on Heidi's post about the farm wallpaper border.

This made me smile, because my husband likes to bring me blueberries. He knows I like to eat them...and imagine all those antioxidants attacking free radicals. :-)

strawberries are ALWAYS > flowers. :-)

Laken said...

Agreed! I would take groceries over flowers any day :)

Your note to Grant is the sweetest.

Please, please, don't eat the daisies (eat strawberries instead!)

:)

kristin said...

strawberries come from some beautiful flowers, right? :)

and! are you able to individually pick your strawberries? i haven't seen such a bountiful beauty of berries in one bin/basket at once since i was little. i miss being able to pick it by the pound. (wah wah wahhhh)

Just made strawberry daquiris the other night and I forgot how much I missed them! I agree. I love when my fiance leaves me notes...the little things are the most important in a relationship. Love your blog by the way:)

Love this, I agree the little things that that special someone knows about you is often much more meaningful than flowers.

about this blog

Hello, I'm Summer. A people-loving introvert whose hope and life is in Jesus. His promises are my passion and my ministry is homelife. This blog is a place for me to write about everyday things. Especially food. My favorite thing to do is sit around a table, lingering over a long meal with good conversation. I live with my husband and our 2 littles. We like blizzards, thrifting, grammar, guacamole, cheerful hearts, nice manners, good movies, and making simple, real, nutrient-dense food.
