Up and ready for the day first thing. Out the door to get Christine to road show practice at 9:45 and then back to the stake center on my way home to work on RS things on the church computer. All visiting teaching companionships, reporting, etc. has to be generated from there. It used to bother me that I couldn't do it on my home computer, but now I look forward to the quiet time in the clerks office. It allows the spirit to flow while I'm working.Then to Aaron Bros. for Duff's Valentine present. He got an autographed picture of Bronco Mendenhall and the team this week in the mail from the Coaches Circle as an appreciation. So I matted and framed it for him to put in the game room at the cabin. He loved it! I was so happy he was so happy.
Then a couple more errands and visits with some sisters. Got home and Duff and I had our weekly date grocery shopping. Some might think it's weird, but it works for us! We love to market together. It's a good time to talk and visit and just be together. Mike and Adrianne were here when we got back and they had started to make homemade pizza for dinner for everyone. They do a really good job with it. I made a hula pie as best I could. It tasted the same but didn't look as nice as in Maui! I did learn some things I will do differently next time!
Adrianne and I went to Joann's to get some embroidery supplies. She wants to learn how to embroider and asked if I would teach her. We picked out some very simple pillowcases, the flosses, the hoops, needles, etc. She got a cute box to keep her project in. They are coming over on Monday to bbq for the holiday and we will get started. Remember those stitches? Lazy daisy, stem, french knot, satin. She found some vintage patterns online to do some floursack dish towels once she gets the hang of it.
Christine is at the stake dance. She met her friends there. It was a 70's Valentine Dance tonight. She wore the suede fringe 'hippie' vest that I made when I was in high school in the mid-70's! She looked really cute. We got her a little pair of silver heart earrings for Valentine's day so she could wear them to the dance. I just love it when her face lights up!
Waiting till 11 so I can go and pick her up.....

Bob and I go to the market together too - I think it's a blast! We always see our friends there - it's our joke, "We'll see you in the chip n' dip department NEXT week!"
Man, I let all those skills go that I learned as a girl - I think I'll work to get them back - might need them in my 'elderly' years! ! ! You're such a great mom/mudder-in-law - you're the bestest!
Looks like you had an amazing time in Hawaii - I loved all your pictures - thanks for sharing! I haven't 'talked' to you in awhile.
luv ya -
