So Much Sweetness
Valentine’s Day should–I suppose, be a day of smushy, mushy, sweetness and therefore who could be surprised that the very best breakfast turned out to be Apple Strudel with real, honest-to-goodness whipped cream on top–for luck.
Oh, you’ve no idea the decadence I’m capable of. I’d show you a picture, but sincerely, that lovely, flakey, cinnamony thing wasn’t on my plate long enough to find the camera…nevermind snap it.
Then to add to the sweetness of the day, my grandbabies–oooh, wouldn’t they howl hearing me call them babies?–came and brought me chocolates…
and a beautiful topiary–I think it’s called a bougainvillea tree. I’ll have to do a bit of deep, dark research to find out how to keep from killing it. Honestly, though, have you ever seen a more perfect shade of pink?
Then, when evening rolled around, Miss Chompy helped her mama make the most delectable treat of the day–strawberry tarts! My…oh…my they were incredibly good.
And what’s a strawberry tart without real, honest-to-goodness whipped cream on top–for luck?
Heh, heh.
Hearts and Flowers
It was my intention to make something lovely, or amazing or scrumptious for today’s post. It was going to be a “something” with lots of flowers and hearts all over the place…
just before Valentine’s Day. But then “something” else took up all the time and space.
Something big and amazing and lovely–but still with lots of hearts and flowers, that I’ll show you as soon as those pictures come to us.
But in the meantime, I decided to go on a quest. A *pink* quest to be more precise, because I love pink–in fact, sometimes I think I own pink.
Just feels like it’s…you know…mine somehow.
Lucky for you, my lovelies, that I’m so-so good at sharing.
Especially on this scrumptious, pink…
heart-y, day before the mushiest day on earth.
But I’ll think of something marvelous for tomorrow…you’ll see.
Perhaps it will even be full of hearts and flowers…you never know.
Heh, heh.

From the Frozen North
We might not be getting much in the way of snow–but I can tell you where it’s all going…that’s for sure.
It’s landing right smack dab on my cute boy in Siberia!
He’s been given a new assignment though. Last week he was called as an Assistant to the Mission President and he sounds pretty happy about it. He’ll travel and visit and help the other missionaries with their work or with the language–or whatever they need. They couldn’t have picked a better fellow for the job.
Besides his sweet grin–the best part of this photo is that familiar blue cube on the side of the desk. Can you see it? Seems that all the way on the other side of the world, he still has his beloved Rubix with him. I can just hear him telling the other guys to, “…mess it up for me, would ya?” so he can solve it–over and over again. The smarty pants.
Comforting to my mama-heart to know that even though he’s learning and growing and becoming who he needs to be–so far away…
all in all, he’s still my boy.
And that’s so, so nice.
