Happy Valentines Day!!!! 

Be sure to give that loved one in your life a big hug today!!!

Jim and Linda went over to the house yesterday morning and got the curtains up up in the living room. Of course, this wasn't just a simple matter of putting them up on the existing rods. Some of the rods were in bad shape and had to be replaced, and all of them had to be re positioned to accommodate the the new curtains, so it took quite awhile.

After the curtains were up, the furniture was put back where it belonged.

By this time, both Jim and Linda were worn out, so they relaxed for awhile in their new living room before coming back here. ; )

Linda says that she's very pleased with the way the house is looking inside and says that she knows she'll be very comfortable there. Jim also really likes the home and is looking forward to getting back to doing some small "woodworking" projects out in the shed during the winter months.

On the way back here, they stopped at Winn Dixie and picked up a few groceries. Then, for dinner, Linda made some tacos.

I don't have any idea what's happening today. I suppose Jim and Linda will take some more "stuff" over to the house and I know that Linda wants to get going on making those bedroom curtains.

Oh well, whatever they do, it probably won't effect me much. I'll just stay here and watch all the people coming and going. : )

Did you know that California produces 60 percent of American roses, but the vast number sold on Valentine's Day in the United States are imported, mostly from South America?

Joe, Nancy, Sami and Amber came out to visit me Thursday evening. Jim cooked hamburgers and brats on the grill, Linda made a cauliflower casserole and Nancy brought buns and some salad. Sami and Amber seemed to really like me and commented on how much bigger is am inside than what Myrddin was. (Which, of course is mostly because of my 2 slides).

 

After eating, everyone sat and talked for awhile, but the girls had homework to do, so about 7:30, they left and headed home.

 

It was a good evening and I think everyone enjoyed the meal. : )

 

As you can see by the forecast above, it's really windy here. It started yesterday morning, after some showers and hasn't let up much since. At times, it seemed like the wind was coming from all different directions at once, and it was fun watching the leaves that had fallen off of the trees and were trying to find a resting place on the ground.

 

At times, the wind would pick them up and send them scurrying across the park in one direction, and then all of a sudden the wind would change direction or reverse direction and send them off the other way. Then, soon they were headed in yet another direction, going under and around RVs, trees, bushes, back and forth throughout the park.

 

Jim and Linda didn't go over to Joe and Nancy's yesterday. Jim wasn't feeling real well, (mostly allergies), so Linda just heated up some of the left-over pot roast from the other day, and they just stayed here and watched TV.

 

Don't know what's going on this weekend, probably more visiting and eating. ; ) Sometimes, Joe and Nancy are really busy on the weekends.
