Ralph gave this amazing orchid to Emily 

and I last night for Valentines day.

I woke up this morning to Emily telling me she watered it. I was so upset because it was soaked through and had heard that that is death for orchids. I called a florist and she told me not to worry. That they actually like water. I had a talk with Em about orchids and how they are fragile like babies and that next time we will water her(our orchid together).

There are two flowering shoots on our plant. We named them Ruby and Louise. 

Happy Valentines day!

Heart shaped strawberry rice crispy treat

Strawberry marshmallow crispy treats

1 bag of strawberry flavored marshmallows

6 cups of rice cereal

Melt butter in the microwave for 45 seconds. Then add the marshmallows and stir them until the butter is all over them. Put the bowl with the marshmallows back into the microwave for 1 minute and 30 seconds. Next add the cereal and stir it all up. Form into heart shapes using your hands. Place on a plate.

Valentines day gifts for the neighbors kids

Coffee labels

We went to Tader Joe's today to get a few groceries. Every time we visit this store I am amazed at how much more I like it than say Shaws or Stop and shop. The cashiers actually speak to you in a friendly manner. Its so great.  I almost never go to the other grocery stores any more.
