We had lunch at our favorite Mexican restaurant on Sunday after church. We usually eat out with friends but we knew son Ben and the kids were coming and we wanted to eat and get home. It had been a while since we had eaten at Camino and I am happy to report that it was a good as ever.
2. Hoover Grimmlins
We were so glad to get to visit with the Hoover Grands Sunday afternoon. I think they were glad to see us too. Before arriving at our house, Ben stopped at the Wheeler Wild Life Center to let the kids run around and get rid of some energy after their long car ride. He sent me this picture of Margaret and Baylor in the observation tower. Sand Hill Cranes are here in droves right now....migrating back to Florida I believe.
Margaux is such a good big sister to Baylor. She always has his back, Literally!
3. A Stitching Stash
My blog friend and fellow stitcher, Georgia, has been so gracious to send me some of her stash that I may keep or give away here on the blog. What a joy we both receive from sharing with our stitching friends. Georgia also sent me this lovely card which is on my kitchen hutch, reminding me of the blessings of blog friendships.
If you are a stitcher, be sure and check out tomorrow's blog. There will be a giveaway. I did keep a few of these wonderful charts for myself but I hope to do a giveaway each week in February using some of my stash and some of Georgia's gifts!
4. Valentines
I picked up Valentines for the Grands at Dollar Tree. two for a dollar! I will add Five Dollars to each card and the Grimmlins will be happy.
5. February Breakfast Bar
It is hard to believe that February is here tomorrow! I am wondering what I will put out for March...possibly my Easter things will come out as Easter is on April 12th. I do not have much in the way of March stitching. I guess I should remedy that.
Several asked if the chocolate cake in my Wednesday post had to be refrigerated as it had sour cream in the frosting. It only lasted two days here as I shared it with friends and family and mine was fine. I did refrigerate the left overs on the third day just to be safe.
