Thought For The Day

Creating is a gift from God. How you use it is your gift to Him.

Belated Happy Valentines Day

Had the most wonderful family dinner Sunday with all my sweeties.  I decided to try something new instead of making the same old thing all the time.  I made country chicken chowder in my crockpot.  It was soooo good, and almost everyone ate it.   I had homemade cornbread with it .  Instead of making a salad, I fixed up a salad bar (love all my counter space) and just put anything out I thought they would love to put into a salad or just nibble on.  Worked like a charm.  Everyone ate from it.  That's a keeper.  No more ready made salads from now on.  This way I have something healthy everyone will eat.  That can be a challenge  at times.  Of course, had to have my theme going.  Made some really cute bar wrappers with valentine ribbon & paper.  Of course, everyone got one.  Then they also (including grandpa and I) got a small candy box filled with favorite chocolates  So not tooooo much in the way of sweets, but just a bit to show Mom 's at it again with the spoiling.  Love it.  Hope all had a wonderful Valentine's .  I know I did.  

I had quite a sweet surprise Monday when I came home from Bible Study.  On the counter was a dozen red roses from my sweetheart.  Is he good or what?  I guess I'll keep him .
