President's Day 2016






The first picture is of a tea towel Mom embroidered for me many years ago.  She made me a set of different holidays to be displayed - Easter/Christmas/Summer/Winter/4th of July, Halloween, etc.  I loved them when she made them for me and treasure them greatly now.  Love you and miss you Mom.

We don't typically do much for Valentine's Day, but we went out for lunch on Friday to Los Compadres for a yummy Mexican treat.

Saturday, 2/13, we spent a couple of hours in the morning getting the garage back together after having it painted a few weeks ago.  It was nice to get things back up on the walls and moved to the upstairs storage room.  Because my worker boy (Ron) did a great job with the garage, I fixed him fried pork chops, mashed potatoes and gravy and custard pie.

On Valentine's Day, I was pleased to find a card on the bathroom counter from my Valentine.  Of course, I ASSUMED it was a Valentine - but nay not so!!!!  I read the card and the verse with the bottom of the verse saying, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!  Geez - my Valentine needs help!!!!!  I neatly put it back in the envelope and told him to keep it and give it to me on my real birthday in JULY!!!!  Holy cow.  We got a big laugh out of it.  We went to church and then got Subway for lunch.

On Monday, it was President's Day, so the bank was closed.  Grandpa and I went to Overland Park to spend the day with Peyton and Garrison as Peyton was out of school for the holiday and Garrison wanted to stay home for the fun too.  We started out playing with the wet sand that they got for Christmas, then gathered up their library books for a trip to the Johnson County Library to return books and check out some more.  Peyton had the process down - she did great!!!!!  Then we ran to Sam's Club for a few items before having lunch and play time at Burger King.  We went back to the house for a half hour before Peyton and I drove to north Overland Park for her piano lesson then to Sprint to deliver Girl Scout Cookies co-workers had purchased.

Then we went back to the house and picked up Grandpa and Garrison for a fun visit to the playground at Peyton's school, Cottonwood Point.  Back to the house for a game of Trash, Slap Jack and Candyland before Mommy came home.  An AWESOME DAY!!!!

We are so blessed.
