I made French Toast for breakfast, then started laundry. I knew I had Valentine napkins in my bin in the garage, but it was behind the freezer. I tugged and pushed and yanked and dug and finally got the package out, but not without boo boos on my hand! Another week or two and the excess in my garage will clear out, and I’ll be able to have better access. Hopefully before time to decorate for Easter!
As we got rain, then ice, and now snow – and I am nearly out of salt (couldn’t find it yesterday) – I will be staying at home today! My goal is to get the driveway cleared off this afternoon and then throw the rest of the salt. By then maybe I can get more salt on Saturday.
I did manage to remember to wear red today – even though it’s the wrong holiday. I’m very warm and that’s important for today.
Here are some pictures from yesterday’s attempt at making the house Valentine-y. Is that even a word?
February 4 – Do you have any knowledge of the origins of your family name? “When I was growing up we were teased & told our ancestors were horse thieves so we were named Crooks. Later I was told, by my doctor, that our ancestors were shepherds and used the crooks to work with the sheep. I like that origin the best.”
Yesterday’s vacation destination was St. Augustine, Florida. This choice was inspired by Teresa, who has a trip planned with her travel group ‘Women Traveling Together’; they are going to St. Augustine and Savanah later in the spring. Photo posted yesterday was Flagler College. The city is rich in history; first Spanish settlement – 1565 – and oldest continuously occupied US settlement. Other things to do and see are Corks & Forks strolling tour, Scenic boat rides, haunted trolley tours, afterlife tours, distilleries, breweries, and wineries, St. George Street – Spanish settlement and Colonial Florida; Beaches galore, Pirate & Treasure museum, Scavenger hunts, Lightner Museum, Wild Life reserve, Old Jail, Old City, Old House tours, Ripley’s Believe it or Not, Anastasia State Park, Farmer’s market at the pier, Oldest Store Museum, Golf Hall of Fame, Ft. Matanzas Monument, Fountain of Youth, Colonial Quarter, numerous walking history tours and hop on – hop off trolley tours.
Calendar inspiration – Tonight, listen for the magical moment when the natural world settles down into silence for the night. Peace!

TOMORROW February 5 is:
- National Shower with a Friend Day
- National Weatherperson’s Day
- World Nutella Day
- Ice Cream for Breakfast Day
- National Play Outside Day
No showering with a friend, tomorrow or any other day! Ice Cream for breakfast is on my radar, and I have a feeling I’ll be ‘playing’ outside today & tomorrow to clear the driveway and walks! Whatever you do, enjoy. OH! And I did make soup yesterday so I will be eating homemade soup in my red outfit! God bless…
