Valentines Day

Happy Valentine's Day to everyone!  No matter how you spend the day I hope it will bring you happiness and love.



Valentine's day happens to be my middle son's 45th birthday. Yesterday I baked and today there will be family dropping by to wish him happy birthday. I am ready!!
The cupcakes were from a Duncan Hines marble cake mix. The cookies I made using a recipe from this library book. In it Melissa Gilbert shares many recipes also short tales of the making of the Little House TV series. ( They are old fashioned molasses cookies)





For some reason this photo insisted on being 'sideways'.  The plate is "Cornflower" by Wedgwood.

 
        More snow and even freezing rain in our forecast.  Schools were cancelled all week except for   Monday. This coming Monday is Family Day (stat holiday) so schoolkids get a long break.


Thanks for dropping by,

If you leave a comment, however short, I'll know you visited.

    Happy Birthday to your son! I know the family is going to enjoy dropping by to celebrate because you are certainly ready for them! I made Whoopie Pies today for my husband to enjoy for Valentine's Day. :) You are getting hit with the snow...sorry to hear that there is freezing rain in the forecast too. That is what makes it so dangerous to be out and about. Happy Valentine's Day to you, dear Friend.

    I'm feeling abit envious of your school closures...I would love to have some "bonus" days off from work/school. I imagine your roads weren't great to travel on. Your desserts look scrumptious! Happy Valentine's Day and please pass on birthday wishes to J!

    It all looks yummy. Happy Birthday to the Valentine boy.
    Our kids were finally back in school today, but are now out for a four day weekend - President's Day and midwinter break.
