Sort of punk the last couple of days!

I have been quite busy the past two days while feeling pretty punk. Today I woke full of energy which means this cold has turned the corner...(I hope).

This picture is of some of the Valentine cookies Sissy and Husb made, and they are so good.  Sis flavored the frosting with maraschino cherry juice and almond. Perfect combination.

Sissy has also cooked for us the past two nights as I just was too tired out.

Her chicken enchiladas are to die for.  I do not like to eat the same thing two days in a row, but we had them again last night and I swear they were better than the night before.

I thank God daily for a sister that will take care of me when I am down.

We also finished another puzzle, and this one was very hard!  Can't wait to start the next one.

I cannot rotate this picture, and I do not know why?

 Someday I will figure this out, but not today.

I was up at 5:00 and watched the moon drop and it was beautiful.  Only seven degrees outside, but I bundled up.

I love going out early in the morning with my first cup of coffee and saying my prayers and thanking God for another day!  It recharges my soul.

It is now 7:22 and I am on my second load of laundry which is drying, and I have cleaned the Cat Box (oh joy is mine! - I do this every morning as part of my morning routine, and I swear my Cats are trying to recreate Stone Henge!)

We have company coming this morning at 11:00.  A girlfriend and her Husband that live across the river. We went to grade school and high school together and were Cheerleaders together.  They have not seen the House, so they are coming to see our tiny little Bungalow and then we are going to lunch.  My Friend got Covid two years ago and she was very, very sick and we thought we would lose her.  She is finally on the mend, and I cannot wait to see her!

I went up to Sissy's yesterday afternoon after Husb and I went to Veterans Lunch and made four dozen pecan shortbread cookies.  They are in the fridge to completely harden and then I will dip half in dark chocolate this afternoon after lunch. The heart-shaped pan was difficult, and I lost quite a few cookies until I figured out that I was overfilling the mold.  It had been so long since I had used it, I forgot.  With the price of butter, I was quite annoyed.  But we had about twenty pounds of butter left over from Christmas so I cannot complain.  I will take pics when I dip them this afternoon.

Sissy's shop is starting to fill with wedding dresses and in the dark they look like ghosts.  It will get very busy, very soon and I will be at the spare machine again.

Husb finally got the Idaho plates on our Car in the freezing cold yesterday and we are now Idaho legit.

So many things are so much less expensive than the DC area.  The plates (personalized with Retired Navy which costs more but it made the Husb happy) for two years were only $174.00.  Our Car insurance has gone down by over $1,000.00 a year.

Amazing!

Well, it is now 8:44 and Husb is up, and I have finished my morning chores (including laundry) and am dressed for the extreme cold.  

I am now going to run to Albertsons and get some fresh flowers because I love them.  I will then read for a bit and wait for my Friends.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Hugs.
