Happy Valentine Day!

 Sweetly old-fashioned, just what I like!  I can vaguely remember the excitement of making Valentine shoe-boxes in grade school and exchanging Valentines.  Those were the days =) This afternoon I decorated two gifts for friends....


 Wow!  what a beauty!


 Our daughter and her family are eager to bring this little yellow lab...'Miss' home soon.  How exciting it must be to have a new baby puppy!



I've loved reading this children's book this week!  So, so much.  I am now a big fan of Howard Garis.  Have you read any of his books as a child or now?  Amazon has at least two of his books for Kindle...free!


A beautiful arrangement from my hubby!  Its so pretty, it is almost to good to be real, but it is real.  The app of the week for me is 1010!  Have you tried it?  Its sort of like tetris....only  you pick up the blocks from beneath ....no timer.   I like apps that do not pressure me.  I hope you all have a wonderful Valentine's Day.  We are having steadily falling snow here in our part of Pa.  and very cold out.  I am reading a book I was gifted with for my Kindle.

Speaking of Kindles',  A good book is a gift that keeps on giving smiles and many relaxing hours.  I so love to read!

'Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.' Psalm 118:36

Hello,
Thank you for sharing about the orchids. I will check out some books at the library about them.
I use to play the Uncle Wiggly board game. :-)) It was fun. I will have to get it out of the closet and have the boys play with me. It was one my sister and I played all the time.
I love all your photos today, so much fun.
Enjoy your week!
