Moving Day~

moving2

About a month after we moved to the cute little house, we came back to actually get most of our things. Rhen wanted to get as much actual moving-our-stuff-out-and-over-to-the-house as possible in one trip, so he just broke down and rented a U-haul. That’s a big truck.

I’d been packing for weeks and weeks, so most of our things were in boxes…

but, oh, my GOODness–I have soooo much STUFF!

But the guys were patient and kind and hard working and packed that big, old truck, not once…

but TWICE.

Then they drove it allll the way…

to my cute little house up the road.

The weather was pretty dang soggy, but they didn’t seem to notice. Guys are such a wonderful idea. haha.

They packed as much as they could into the carport, and put everything else…

in the front room…

and family room.

I’m sooooo excited to start putting things where they belong. Some of this stuff, I haven’t seen in a few years.

I’ll be digging out for a bit…

and loving every second.

 

 

 

Valentine Love~

Oooh-oooooh! My sweet daughter and her family sent over these luscious thingies for our Valentine breakfast  ummm… treat.

This daughter must have been raised reeeeally well. Yummo.

Somehow, I found the Valentine tub in all that stacks of boxes out in the shed…

IMG_1545

which means that the grandkids can see the ancient decorations…

that their moms grew up with.

I admit that some of these should probably be tossed. I mean, a water globe half filled, or one without a single drop left in it? Oh, too bad. I’m keeping them. They are still awesome.

And I have just a few little surprises for the little little sweeties too…

IMG_1540

just a few. Heh, heh.

IMG_1550

For me?

What good kids I have!

Giant Treats

IMG_1276

We got in the mood for a few “after the holidays” type treats…

IMG_1279

so we whipped up some speedy little “Pretzel Turtles.”

IMG_1280

What else are we suppose to do when we have a 27,000 pound bag of Rolos?

IMG_1298

Perhaps, we could slice into the 1000 pound Snickers.

Things are out of control over here.

Send help quick.

Wellllll…not too quick. Maybe, like…next week.

Heh, heh.

If you adore snow, like I do- then waking up to this beautiful stuff is a dream come true. Now, if I could just get it to go on for about 4 days.

Mmmmm. Heaven.
