Finally!

The American taxpayers get some "bangs" for their bucks.

Valentine's Day (a little late)

Cassie posted a picture of her fun Valentine's decorations a little before February 14th.  That is what a normal person would do.  A slowpoke like me posts pictures of our Valentine's Day mantel a little after the 14th. Alan informed me this morning it was time to take it down but I wanted to take a picture or two before I do.  So far it's about the only thing I've accomplished during February so I might as well. 

Except for the garland I just used stuff I had already had and I know it gives off a Christmas vibe, but.....

I wasn't quite ready to put these cute bottle brush trees that Lucy gave me away and they are red and white

And there is still plenty of snow here so the snowflakes are still okay, right?

What it is all about.
