YES, it's Valentine's Day and time to get busy . . .

This is dangerous for me - baking and chocolate and sugar . . .

What Valentine's Day is all about . . . but come to think about it, everyday should be about LOVE . . .

Oh yummmmm, come to think about it, these are one of my favorite cookies - peanut butter . . .

Got an extra BIG cookie sheet from Bob not long ago (so big, it doesn't fit in one of my ovens) and bakes a lot of cookies all at once . . .

This ONE I saved FOR YOU . . .

Bob loves Adele so I bought him her CD so he can listen in his car and office - trying to convince him iPod is the way to go - but still is not converted . . .

Getting ready to head over to Grandma's with some sweet treats and a few gifts for 'my valentine' . . .

I'm NEVER ALONE - Bella, my assistant, just waiting for me to drop anything so she can taste-test . . .

We had a very simple and quiet Valentine's Day - Bob working and when we finally checked out some eating-places, they were FULL so we headed to Taco Time (yes, you heard it) and had pulled pork burritos! Shortly after, my Valentine showered (and I mean showered) me with gifts! Who said Christmas was over!!!!!


I heard of a few families who lost loved ones today - makes me sad and MORE thankful than ever to have my special family and friends close AND to never take them for granted!


Hope you had a wonderful day!
