Happy Valentine's Day!

It's HERE!!! The "day of love" ..... well, the day we oughta be thinking even MORE about love. :) Hope you all are. My husband, John, just surprised me with a beautiful potted plant and a GREAT card. And, it IS a surprise because we'd said yesterday that we'd wait until Monday to celebrate because Saturdays, for a pastor, are pretty much "getting-the-last-minute-stuff-done-for-Sunday" days. (now I'm the one behind, 'cause I WAS waiting until Monday......:( ) I love his card - he picked a really good one - but it's the part he WROTE in it that I especially love......I just LOVE that man!

A nice evening ..... and a new President .....

Was a cold but sunny day here in our part of Kansas today. I didn't do much - stayed indoors and cooked, which I love doing. :) I made a noodle casserole for lunch: egg noodles, green peppers, onions, green olives, garlic and canned salmon ..... with sour cream. Yum! And, for supper, I fixed stuffed green peppers - just made two, one for each of us. Two giant green peppers stuffed with a mixture of rice, "deer"burger, onions, garlic, and salsa - with cheese melted on the tops. Also "yum!" :)

My husband, John, and I ate supper in front of the wood fire and watched a couple of news shows. It was cozy and warm. The food and fire, not the news.

We have a new President but I am not happy with his abortion legislation - he didn't wait long to start on it. I am also a little peeved about appointing a guy to be in charge of the country's finances who "got away" with not paying some of his taxes! Maybe WE should try that this time ........What I can celebrate, so far, about our new President is that this country FINALLY broke through the color block and voted in a man who is African American; well, half anyway. That was truly something to celebrate. Historical for sure. However, some of his policies sadden me - and others just plain make me frightened for my country. But I will be praying for him AND for the country.
