What a week!

What a fun week! Last week, we had a four day week, no work/school on Friday and then this week ANOTHER four day week. We had Monday off. I loved the long weekend, it was great. On Friday, Emmy and I took Tennyson to a friends ranch, so he could spend sometime on the ranch and calving. Then Emmy and I went to Missoula and got some Valentine's Day gifts. It was such a fun girls day.
Then Saturday, Valentine's Day...Emmy had to cheer again, so we went to the bball games and just decided to stay for all of them. We love watching basketball, so even though it was Valentine's day...it was just what we like to do. Dave bought me flowers and a box of dark chocolates for Valentine's day. I love DARK chocolate.
When I was a kid, I hated DARK chocolate. I have noticed as I have aged, that my tastes have changed drastically. I love thing that I NEVER thought I would. It is kind of fun to try new things.
Dave did buy us some yummy food for V-day and we cooked in on Sunday night. We had Salmon with Fresh Mango Salsa, a family favorite. Another thing that I love know is Sweet Potatoes, have you ever baked them (like a baked potatoe) and then sprinkled some brown sugar/cinnamon .....so YUMMY! Love it!!!!

My flowers are still blooming and the bright colors just brighten my day.....everytime I look at them, really!
Valentine's day is so fun, so fun to share the love.

I'm spending time in a 3rd grade classroom this semester and got to attend their Valentine's day celebration. The teacher did a great activity, during the party. Each child had to take our their valentines and read them one by one and as you read them, you needed to whisper to the person that gave it to you, thank you or something to acknowledge that you appreciate the valentine. How cool is that? It was so fun to see the children's faces light up each time they got recognized....PRICELeSS!!!!!

I love to share the love.........Peace Love and Happiness!
Hope you had a fun week and enjoy your weekend.
Have the time of your life.

I was just commenting the other day on how much our tastes change. I used to HATE peppers... now, I can't get enough. We eat sweet potatoes all the time, too... so much more healthy than regular potatoes, and I really like them with a little butter and some salt. I guess it's the sweet/salty combo.
