St. Valentines day

 Hope all had a great St. Valentine's Day.   The children visited, we had dinner and some chocolate fudge brownies for dessert.  I purchased them from Public and added sprinkles and a heart on top.


Oven beef stew.  I used an oven bag.  All tender and tasty 

Flowers from husband
A very pretty orchid from Children

Love this card that Adalyn picked for Opa

Genevieve painted one and the little fuzzy animals they made

for the girls

We had an anniversary get away for a few days a week ago and will be back to share some pictures.  The mountains were just as beautiful to me in the winter as in the spring and summer.  I like the idea that the snakes are in hiding and bears hibernating this time of year too. So good time for me and I love a warm fire.

What a lovely celebration. Your beef looks wonderful.

Thank you Miss Merry. It was large piece of flank steak, thick and cooked up so tender in oven with potatoes, mushrooms and carrots.
