Valentine's Day....

Started off the day with the traditional heart-shaped waffles...



Baked and decorated sugar cookies... topped with pink frosting... a MUST!!



Ally made the cards and we delivered them to those so dear....


Too tired to go out for dinner and a movie...
so spinach dip and pizza from Smoky Mountain....


Ally and her candygram (and no that's not a spot on my wall... sheesh, stupid phone) which read...

Ally Bear...
        YOU are Extra Extra Extra amazing!!!                
We Snicker like Airheads whenever you're around...
It'll be hard for us when you Skittle on outta here =(
I don't know what I'll do w/o my Sugar Babie...I'll definitely be in one
of those Whatchamacallit states where I'm barely able to connect the Dots.
You have been such a Lifesaver - such a Starburst - in our home.
Not even 100 Grand could ever replace you...
Having you for a daughter is a Skor for eternity! <3
If you're ever in a Crunch, please know we'd do ANYTHING for you...
<3 U Sweetart



And Sarah.... the cutie... made TJ these pillows.
She photocopied love notes they'd written to each other
onto fabric and sewed them onto these pillows... <3 Sari


My sweet girl also made 'Basil Chicken Curry' for 
her in-laws to enjoy for their Valentine's Day dinner...

New normal

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Taking a little different direction...

Been thinking mucho the last several days about where I want my life to be. Is it crazy that I'm 47 years old and don't know? When I was 23 I knew more about what I wanted for my life (overall) than I do now. There are a few things I'm pretty sure about, but I also know I'm never going to get there if I'm always thinking so far ahead.  No more tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.  Uh uh. I really feel like everything is going to take care of itself if I live in the moment right now, and ONLY for that moment.  I'm also going to let myself be surprised... not always have everything so carefully calculated. And since I want the unknown, I'm not doing the 30-day photo challenge... So here's where I'm going... and I do know it's a good thing... though honestly, I really don't know where it's going to take me... but I feel like it will be, what it is to be... "Let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it be."
