Sweethearts Of Days Gone By. . . .

With the approach of St. Valentines Day, love is a little closer to our minds. Last night, sorting through some old photographs, I began pulling out photos of different couples, letting my mind wander as to what their life was like. The adorable couple above are my husband's great grandparents. I fell in love with this picture the moment I saw it. They are so young, so sweet looking. I am just starting on my husband's family history, so I'm not as familiar with it as I want to be, but I do know that these two married, had two children and ran a general store. I wonder what they were thinking about, what their dreams were of their future the day that this photograph was taken? Did their life measure up to anything that they had hoped for? I had the privilege of knowing their son for a brief time, and I do know that he was a good man, a son for any parent to be proud of. Sometimes, I think, looking back is as important as looking forward. These sweethearts of the past are the reason that we are here today. Take a moment and think about those that have gone before you and be thankful.

We are supposed to have a beautiful day here, today. High of near 65! Oh, I hope so. I'm looking forward to getting out and maybe getting a couple of photos. I also plan to do a little bit of organizing today. Isn't it funny that when the weather is finally nice and I can get outside, it makes me ready to work inside?

Good Morning

There isn't much going on around the home place this morning. DH is off work today, so we'll be heading off soon to buy a few supplies. I always enjoy getting away for a few hours, but at the same time, I'm always happy to return. There really is no place like home! Everybody have a great day.

Cold Sunny Friday

Good morning, everyone. We still have a shallow layer of snow on the ground and it is cold, but I think we just might see the sun! I've missed that big yellow orb in the sky the last few days. Especially since it helps warm up the inside of the cabin. We are definitely starting to cool down in here, despite the roaring fire we keep going all day. After getting my morning chores done--dishes, laundry and sweeping, I think I'll break out my craft supplies and get a little more work done on some Valentine cards I'm making for my daughters. I'll post some pics of them once I get them sent off to the girls.

Everybody have a fantastic day.
