Well Tammy, Kim and Janae and their families were here today. We made about 150 valentine sugar cookies. The girls took all of them home for their classroom parties. We had flour and dough all over everyone. The kids loved rolling out their cookies and cutting them. But about 1/2 hour of it and they were through, so the mothers ended up finishing them. It was pretty nice outside today so the kids spent much of their time outdoors. It was about 55 degrees. I hope that means that spring is coming. I told Jim that I was ready to start planting flowers and working in my garden. But I think I had better put that off for awhile.
We had so much warm weather here the last few days most of the snow is gone. It all left in about two days. Boy did we have the flooding. Marshalls, our neighbor to the north of us, had their entire yard covered with water. It was coming across the road and they closed that road. Then the road from us to Ochoas washed out and they closed that road. We still had one way we could get out of our house and that was the newly paved road to the south. But Easterdays have a big lake in front of their shop also. The road crew will have a lot of repairs to do before they can open up many of these roads. I guess they had a big washout down at the bass pond. That steep road that goes down there just washed right away. It is sad how we get our excitement around here isn't it?
Tammy guided me through putting a picture on here. I'm not sure I can ever do it again but there is a picture of the snow we got. Then we got another 3 inches after that picture. It looked so pretty out there for a few days.
Well I guess I had better go and clean up my house. After everyone leaves it needs some attention. Happy Valentines day everyone.

Sounds like a lot of fun. We sure miss being up there with all the cousins. I am ready for the snow to be gone too. I don't think we will be as lucky. Good to hear from you!
