Just a little luvvin' from us'ns in Erie, Pa

Last evening, we, and the elders, were invited to sister Hinklers house for supper. As ususal, she had a luscious, bounteous spread and we were filled to capacity. She had remembered that my birthday was coming and so she made (you guessed it!!) strawberry shortcake for dessert. It was wonderful. Well, just before we left, she presented me with this basket, which was inside the red plastic bag and is filled with oranges, pears, apples, grapes, strawberries and bananas. and of course, this nice card was enclosed. It says on the front "You're a very special kind of friend Inside: Our friendship has been special right from the start, Just like these birthday wishes that are warm and from the heart! Happy Birthday Happiness Always" and this note-Sure am glad I have had the privilege to know you. I'll miss you when you leave, I wish Heavenly Fathers richest blessings for you, Love and Prayers, Helen


These are our Valentines from the grandkids!! We loved them!! And we had contests with the Elders on who could hold the fire balls in their mouth the longest--I won!!

Now our tree has been adorned with shamrocks and good luck charmed ribbon


Here it is in full length
Just thought you might like a couple more snow pictures

This victorian house is across from the entry into our apartment parking lot. I love looking at it, even though it is a fixer upper that someone is working on

I loved how the sky is in this photo
And yes, the parking lots and cul de sacs are all full of snow piles as high as a tree!!
