Red Hat ladies St. Patrick's Day luncheon

 Had lunch with my Red Hat sisters today. We celebrated St. Patrick's day and had a great time as always!





















 

Lunar Eclipse

 The lunar eclipse is nearly total right now, if any of you are up at 1:30 a.m.

 Terrible picture, I know!  Best I could do in the middle of the night with my phone.  It was beautiful and eerie, but worth getting up for!

More Birthday Celebrations

 Had such wonderful family times with my, daughter, Shelley, son, Darren and two of my grown up grand boys yesterday! My youngest couldn't make it . We missed you, Preston! It was Garret's birthday, but Lucas is just a few days away, so we had a double birthday party! We sang and they both blew out candles. Ate lots of food and Bill lit up the fire pit, a great day making memories!












 

Happy 19th Birthday, Garret!

 Happy 19th Birthday to my grandson, Garret today! The best part is they came to visit, so we got to celebrate in person!

Burrrrr

 

It's 6° and will only get to 17° for a high today. We have about 3" of snow and the birds all have a dusting of snow frozen in their back, even after they have been flying to get to the feeder, I've never seen that before! At least it looks like the sun will be out for a while today. Everyone stay safe and warm!

Valentine's Evening at Country Creek Treasures

 We had a romantic (and delicious) Valentine's dinner this evening at Kristy's Cafe in Salem! After salad, lasagna and garlic rolls, we were served individual chocolate lava cakes and chocolate covered strawberries! All the while we were serenaded by two lovely violinists playing chamber music, although as we were leaving they had shifted to Elvis Presley. It was a perfect Valentine's day and my sweetie came through for me too with chocolates and a card.


 








Happy Valentine's Day

February picnic

 Since it was such a gorgeous warm day, and we already had the fire going, we roasted some hotdogs and had macaroni salad, Doritos and chocolate cake...all of the main food groups...! Also my brand new stove was installed and I love it! To top it all off Wabash has been working on our street installing Fiber optics cables, so soon we will have better internet service! It's been a great day!





 

A 70° day in February? I'll take it!

New potion bottles

 I made a few things for my craft booth during this cold and snowy winter spell. I am always saying I am done crafting for a while and then after a few days I am at it again. I actually sell all of this stuff, so part of it is the demand for it, which I appreciate. People were still wanting potion bottles at Christmas! Stay warm, it's going to be a very cold week again!
