These are the actual Valentines I received in elementary school.

So many years ago and so many memories! ♥♥♥

Bless that groundhog’s little pea-pickin’ heart!

The subject for today is…..WARMTH! An unusual topic for a late January morning!

After the gripping cold temperatures of the past few days, 50℉ will actually feel like a heat wave!

My area is actually supposed to reach the low 60s before colder air moves back into the region.

Looking forward to seeing this again!

Joy, joy joy! I get to do the laundry again!

And possibly cook a big ole pot of pintos and make a pone of corn bread!

Just a tad windy here in the hills today! Nothing like the predictions, though……yet!

Growing up as the daughter of a Baptist minister, and attending church all of my life, means that I do my best to set Sundays aside as a day of rest and reflection on all that is Holy.

The year is quickly winding down. Soon we will be ushering in 2024!
A new beginning! Renewed strength and energy!

My favorite resolution: To be better organized!

We shall see how that works out!

A peek back at warmer days!

Merry Christmas Eve to all my Civatar friends! I wish you all the very best that life holds.

(Might want to put a little less rum in that fruitcake soak next year!)

I post this every year and still get chills when I read it even after all this time. My brother has been gone several years now, and I still miss him dealy.
