Good morning! Happy Monday and Happy Valentine's Day! 💘
Were he still here, John and I would be celebrating our 34th wedding anniversary today. I sure do love and miss him, and am so very thankful for the many years that we had together. Cherish your husbands, Ladies. Every day is a gift.

My week and weekend here were productive. In the process of cleaning, sorting, and organizing I have gotten rid of a ton of stuff. I filled two trash bins full of trash and donated, literally, a carload of stuff to a local thrift store. Some stuff I've sorted out to pass on to other people that might want it and the rest I am still trying to figure out what to do with. Some of it I will keep; some of it I won't. Unwanted books will be donated to the local library.
Friday evening I rode to Nevada with my friend, Carla. She had to pick up a few things for her father-in-law and I did my grocery shopping while we were there. Being as we hardly ever get a chance to get together anymore, it was nice to get out and do something together.
We celebrated three birthdays this past week. Grandson, Dante, requested a harpy eagle theme for his birthday.
Harpy Birthday, Dante! 🦅
His sister, Kira, chose a rainbow and 'hoonicorn' (unicorn) theme for hers.
Happy Birthday, Kira! 🌈
Their mom made the cakes and Aunt Amber decorated them. She had never seen a harpy eagle before, so Dante helped by directing her as to details and color. I think they both did a great job!
Saturday was Jed's birthday. I went over and visited with him and his family for awhile Saturday afternoon. While there, even though it was freezing cold and extremely windy, we took a trip down to the creek and did a little exploring. It was fun!
Happy Birthday, Jed!
Well, I'm heading to work shortly, so I better get started. Let's get on with this week's post, shall we?
