Happy Valentine's Day to all! I hope that each of you has had a lovely day so far. Mine was made brighter by a couple of little surprises and three little grandchildren.
Having the kids here was not a surprise; I knew they were coming while their mom went to see her eye doctor. We had a fun morning making a Valentine craft
and reading books together, not to mention snacking on red grapes. It was a surprise, though, when, as they left, Julia (5) turned back and said so sweetly, "Have a happy Valentine's Day, Grammy!"
Last evening my hubby surprised me with a lovely bouquet of yellow roses (my favorite)! They are brightening up the kitchen island in my favorite strawberry pitcher. He took these photos for me:

But the most surprising surprise of all was waiting at my mailbox today. I got a free book from Taste of Home for having a recipe published in Simple & Delicious this past year.

Happy Valentines Day Mrs T. I had a good one as well. One of the things that made it good was winning a wreath from a friend's business. She will be making me an Easter wreath for my door so I am excited about that. It has been a challenging time in our family....would appreciate prayers!
