Valentines Cookies

I've been sick since January 2nd - you know - the sore throat, swollen glands, ears that hurt, sinus headache, occasional cough. Two weeks ago I finally gave in and went to the dr. He gave me 2 weeks worth of antibiotics that is normally a 10 day regime and said: "Call in 2 weeks and let me know how you're doing - if you are not at 100%, I'll call in another 2 weeks worth." I'm some better, but not enough to think that the antibiotics are really doing anything. I'm thinking it must be viral and antibiotics aren't going to help anyway. I'm conflicted about whether or not to call. Guess I'll see what tomorrow brings.

Anyway - I've been sick - and I've been busy - hence, not many posts. I did want to share some cookies that I made for a friend's wedding and other things.

What do you do on a snow day?

We are getting pretty good at this 'snow day' business. This is our third set of snow days...3 days this week. I'm not sure when our cul-de-sac will get plowed - can't tell if our main road has been or not - maybe one swipe down the middle - it's hard to tell from here.

So - what do YOU do on a snow day? Here's what I've been up to.
I read this. It took me a while to get into it - but it was an excellent book.

I made and decorated these!




We enjoyed some warm caramel apple cider this morning....and when we walked out of the kitchen, Dusty decided to finish off the whipped cream. She knows it's a capital offense to be on the table, so I almost didn't get the picture before she scampered off.

There has been snow of course - some of it enjoyable - and some not so much!


And I've spent a little time working on old scrapbooks. Here's a view of 'back in the day'!
