It may be almost the second week of March...but, HELLO MARCH!  February was a very long month, even though it was short ;0)  There was a lot of stuff going on in February, nothing very post worthy, just stuff.  

But a few of them were worth posting!  So, March, for our family, starts off  with a bunch of birthdays!  We helped celebrate Nathan's birthday a week ago, he turned 11!  

Nathan had a great birthday!  Like most kids, he got to choose his birthday dinner - blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon and orange juice, it was delicious.  Grandpa cooked the bacon, at Nathan's request, because he likes the way grandpa cooks it, nice and crispy.  Instead of cake, he wanted, root beer floats, they were so good along with a slice of yummy coffee cake, after all he needed something to put the candles in.  It was all delicious, but most of all I just loved spending time with Nathan.  Nathan is an amazing boy - cute, smart, fun, always a smile and a hug, and just a really good boy, we sure do love him!

The balloons on the window were really cute!  My daughter will keep them up all month as three of her children have birthdays in March.  

I loved this, Winnie the Pooh quote, I really did feel this way about each of my grandchildren the minute I saw them,  and they have all been, and have all taken me, on grand adventures!  

The weather here has been off and on, cold one day and kind of mild the next day...never over 40 degrees, of course.  Tomorrow, it's going to snow, not a significant amount, but at least it's something.  Two weeks ago, we did get a little bit of snow, maybe 3 or 4 inches...it was really pretty, but not enough to help replenish our lakes and reservoirs.  I will be praying for rain this spring.

I wish I could say that we went on an amazing drive and took amazing photos, but, we have stuck close to home the last month.  Bob's shoulder is healing, but it's way more painful that his first shoulder.  He is currently doing physical therapy and I think it's helping.  Hopefully by April, we will be able to travel a little more, depending on the price of gas.  :0(   I was talking to Bob about it today, and he thought it would be a great idea to just drive the side-by-side instead of the car or truck.  It's tempting!  

Today I went to, DUP (Daughters of Utah Pioneers).  It's the first time we've been able to meet since December.  Covid stopped us, and then the slick roads, we are all older and really don't like to drive in the snow and on bad roads.  It was very nice to see everyone again, it's been too long.  

After I got home, Bob and I had to run into town to get new batteries for one of the alarms on our security system.  Just a side note...our dishwasher quit working, then our furnace and now the alarm system (which is now fixed), again, February was a long month.  We are putting in a new furnace next week, the old one still works, but it's on it's last leg, and I am the new dishwasher.

Like so many of you, I am praying for Ukraine and for all those who are suffering the terrible atrocities that are happening there.   I'm so very thankful for the freedoms that I enjoy in this country.  I stand with Ukraine. 

I hope that everyone is having a great start to their week.  See you soon.

Be safe...XOXO

Hugs and Love,
