happy anniversary

jacob and kate are celebrating their anniversary today!! we had such a good time with them in november and again at christmas. it's always good to hear from them. and these busy days are winding down. (not that their busy days are going away - just taking a new form) both school for kate and jacob's navy experience will soon be behind them. yippee!!

off they go!

my valentines are done, gathered in their envelope and on their way to loveland.

truth in advertising

just a quick reference to naphtali's site for her last giveaway. she does beautiful, quality work and i hope the winner truly enjoys her prize. (boy, if that doesn't get me something there's a real problem!!)

valentines plans

for the last several years i've taken advantge of the good folks in loveland, co to help me with my valentines.a group of volunteers will hand stamp your valentines with a special cachet and send it on its way. you can read more about it here i usually try to find red or pink envelopes to send to tim at work - he's sure to blush.

as you can see i've gathered my ideas and materials and need to get busy to make my mailing deadline.

this should all go away over the next few days.
tim took off for lincoln this afternoon so charlie and i have the house to ourselves and no excuse for not getting everything done in good order.

marvels

of modern technology!!
