Hello and welcome I spent most of my Saturday with these awesome two adorable little guys. My grandsons Brooks and Baker. They brought me and Papa of course Valentine cards. It was so cute they had colored on them and had stickers. Papa put his heart on his phone. They are so sweet. We made them blueberry pancakes and sausages. They are showing me their blue hands. Those blue lips and teeth. The fun of yummy food. I know you remember those days when you ate a colorful food and stuck your tongue out and it was the color of your food. Good times! These blueberry pancakes were homemade gluten free. Note Brooks has on an old shirt of Dusty’s as on his way over he had got carsick and threw up on his clothing. I washed everything and dried it so they could go out after it warmed up some.

Bruce and I had got them these toys
https://a.co/d/03pFNOr5 it’s the Crayola. You color on the critter then scrub it off. It comes with markers too. They love coloring with markers.
We have a lot of our own maple syrup more on that to come….. stay tuned
I love how Brooks is looking at his blue fingers
I found more Valentine š Pictures
We I see this one it’s like I seriously aged. That’s the price of the body that lives in pain. It seems you age more.
Colten used to buy me Hersheys candy bars every time he went somewhere. I miss that! Colby buys me the 90% bars all the time and you know I meant to tell you that they are now $6 bucks a piece. I came remember buying two for $3. Then it went to four and five. Now it’s one for $6.
The power of Snapchat (Snapchat made me do it)
I had made the necklace so many years ago back when I used to buy my jewelry supplies at Ornamentea which was in Raleigh. I loved that place. Cynthia Dyce she is an amazing woman. I really miss going there. Good times.
Those 90% candy bars I have been eating for years probably over 20 years. One time my aunt had got to my house and I was at the foot doctor that day. I told her to just walk in as I would be right behind her by the time she got there. She was sitting at our kitchen table and one of the candy bars was sitting there. She took a bite and spit it out. Said oh my gosh what is that? Of course she had never had pure dark chocolate. I always tell everyone when I share it, it is an acquired taste. I love the chocolate. Ledger doesn’t like chocolate, Kim doesn’t either. My mom loves it too. This is the candy bars that is $6 dollars now for one. I know chocolate is expensive.
I have always made my children pancakes and when Garrett joined our family he told me one Sunday those pancakes fall from heaven. Ever since then Bruce always repeats it. I would do shapes and such for the littles. When my oldest ones were little I made apple cinnamon pancakes every Sunday unless we were at church. For a long time I had worked at a church as a babysitter. There was a huge nursery and the moms would drop the kids off and little tiny babies so they could attend services without having to worry about their children. I loved the job. I was there most Sunday mornings and nights and Wednesday nights, plus if they had a meeting I came to. They paid well. This was back in the 80s and nineties. I left in 1992. If I needed to I could carry my children as well. Usually I didn’t unless I had no choice. On Wednesday nights we had supper meals. Bruce loved that! It was a small fee I wanna say like a 1.50 to eat each Wednesday night. The older ladies at the time always had a delicious southern style meals. Good times!!!
Crystal was like in the third grade here. In the fourth grade she cut her hair in a pixie and everyone called her a boy, she didn’t like that. She was as cute as a button with that really short hair. She would even put cut Bobby pins in. I created a collage scrapbook page here. Fun! Note the saying Creative people are seldom tidy! I can vouch for that. Our minds are too busy creating things. It’s true.
Then this can you believe it I painted the bulletin boards at the schools for three years look

I hope you had a great Valentine’s Weekend. Tomorrow is Monday the 16 of February we will be heading into the Lunar New Year. Shedding your snake skin and unto the Energy of the Fire Horse. Be energized!! Embrace change.
Much love and sunshine,
