Valentine's

Happy Valentine's day.... and with February being the "short" month, this means that we are half way threw. Suddenly the winter is seeming very long.. though we really only started getting it around New Years. But with storms still coming in every four to five days... it's getting "long"....
I thought it would be fun to have a special day.. so I called the "grands" and decided that we should go out to breakfast together... and then go on and visit with my Mom and Dad.  Dad is doing dialysis three times a week now, and though it does take a huge part of out his time... he is improving week to week and is really feeling so much better. With all these improvements, I know by spring, he will nearly be back to his old self...
Ever since she was very little, whenever we go out to eat..Abi has made it her job to put the cream in "baby's coffee".. she knows I like three creams and takes it all very seriously......
Reagan picked out a chocolate rose for my Valentine's gift... Kassy said he was so funny and very certain what each Grandmother would receive....
Course I had gifts for them as well... 
Abi was pleased with her card......
and I had made good choices... could of new "trucks" for Reagan ( I don't know exactly what type of equipment they are... but he did...)
and  a little jewelry box for Abi. She's getting old enough where she has small treasures that need places to go....
Now that's a Valentine breakfast... pancakes in the shape of hearts.. with cream and strawberries!!!!
This is the view from Mom's and Dad's sun porch... between the drifts coming up and the drifts from the roof... there is just about two feet to peak threw....
Mom says it's getting a bit bigger each day.. the sun is stronger in the sky.. though on some cold days that is hard to believe....
Her glass pieces make a pretty sight.....
Reagan and Abi had a grand time playing together at Meme's house....
But one little boy fades fast, and so we visited until nap time..... 
My Ed brought me home a beautiful bunch of flowers... so bright and happy during this time of year....
and then he went onto plowing with the tractor... pushing the snow back to make room for the storms ahead....
and even plowing a pathway that hopefully, I'll be able to get the sleigh out and have some fun with that. Because honestly, the snow has been too deep to even try the sleigh.......
