Life Goes On

Although it's colder again this weekend, the the weather of the past week has been somewhat nicer. We had a few nice, sunny days above zero followed by a few more mild days that were cloudy. One day, I even remarked that there was a hint of spring in the air, but that was probably wishful thinking more than reality. Still, one hopes that most of the very coldest weather is behind us.

Sue and I went out for breakfast on Valentine's Day, and at a last minute we had the youngers over for a Valentine supper. I made my standby meat loaf, but I also did a new thing by roasting some red potatoes. I just coated them with olive oil and onion soup mix and roasted at 450 for 40, and they turned out quite well. I wonder if this would work for all potatoes?

Here are a few photos from the past two weeks.

We generally read to/with Danica on weekday mornings. Amelia Bedelia is a fave. When Sue saw her resting her hand on mine, she decided to take a picture.

This is actually from the previous week when part of JJ's birthday celebration included a trip to
Tims for donuts. As you can see by his toy, we had already been to Dollarama.

Also from JJ's birthday: he received a Sens (hockey team) had and mitts. So, I decided to photoshop a rink in the background.

It warmed up enough to thaw ice and create deliciously splashy puddles.
