Valentine's Eve-Eve

I love Valentine's Day. Second only to Thanksgiving. Glad I've already got treats for the kids and my husband. It's not much, but a little sweet-sweet as I like to call it. Have strung heart lights and garland, and just need to tweak one of the outside wreaths. With the sickness that had us captive, I'd not finished putting the ribbons on the wreath on the porch-side of the house. And with the hot pink doors, it's more of a challenge to fiddle with. Not much easily matches a pink door. :)

Company on Sunday, with the daughter's beau and another son's hopeful beau-to-be all for a visit. Romance is in the air whether I like it or not! And it's not that I'm a curmudgeon, but more slow in my thinking. I don't do anything spontaneously, but our children seem to have inherited their dad's need for speed, and there's something about folks liking to be paired up. I really never was until I met my husband, and at 23 years old, I was past the age most folks were romancing for the first time.

Oh well.

Gonna do my part anyway. Will whip up a double batch of heart cookies (Dotsie, you inspired me!), and have sprinkles and food coloring for them. I do love me some Valentine's cookies. Will tidy the house, read a bit and with potato soup for dinner, the evening is pretty easy.

Enjoy the rest of your day!
