What is it about three . . . number

three, the third time, the third day . . . 

pure magic! I am sooooo into the 

three! Color me three. . . ed!

Today, I awaken with hope, I've 

needed it for such a long, long time. 

Not to mean, I've been hopeless all 

the while. There are just those days 

that I am so overwhelmed, me thinks 

there is no way I can go on from here!

Learning to cope is an amazing skill; 

so not given to all . . . alas, I am one 

of those who have always doubted, 

if now downright dismissed my ability,

or lack thereof, to cope. I pray, let it be . . .

Here's to learning how to let it be . . . 

how to cope, although bloody unlikely . . .

Pray the gods help me . . .

mother pray teach me

learning to let it all be

how do i let go

02/27/2021 (#14 NO WATER)

Yesterday, the words fell from my fingertips

as if demon possessed. Today, I find myself 

standing at the threshold of this moment in 

time, as if awaiting the courage to open the 

door . . .

The door to what, pray tell? What secrets lie

beyond?! Joy after sorrow? Peace after war?

Understanding after ignorance? Unimaginable

bliss?

And yes, the fear is there . . . this pure,

unadulterated fear . . . fear of the unknown,

the unexpected. I ask myself, "Is it possible

that I might simply be afraid to be utterly 

and completely happy?"

"Is it that I'm afraid of the price I may be

asked to pay? Will I have to pay with a

life? One of my children's? Friends'? My 

own? Or perhaps, my life as I have known

it up until now?!"

One may spend an entire lifetime seeking

understanding, comprehension . . . and all 

of a sudden, when faced with the possibility 

of utter joy, run with a fear previously 

unexperienced.

Not certain just what I'm feeling?! Am I

sorry for myself? Disappointed? Do I 

actually 'get' this woman on what appears to

be a treadmill situation?! One step forward

and two steps back? ~!@#$%^&*()_+

It's rather like praying for enlightenment 

and when the answers come knocking,

hollering out, "Sorry, can't come to the

door right now, I'm on the phone!"

pray give me courage

open my eyes to visions

finding me baffled 

02/26/2021 (#13 NO WATER)

Great grandmother, pray enlighten me?

Grandmother? Anything she doesn't know?

Mother? Where are you when I need you?

Reaching out to my ancestral dames . . . 

Pray help me; I am beyond my depth! 

Not sure where to go from here; not certain

I'll be able . . . sooooo not giving the right 

advice; not representing the courage needed!

You, most wondrous ladies, you have been 

there, done that . . . pray, help me deal with 

these horrendous upcoming times! I am

counting on you . . . I have no one else . . . 

I find myself on my knees, in absolute 

abjection.

Knowing not to whom I pray, I beg, beseech,

implore you to have mercy, the mercy of a

mother . . . let her be . . . let her be well! She

is worthy, has committed no sin; take me

instead . . .

Oh daughter of mine . . . may you be, just

be . . . I celebrate your very existence!!!

love without measure

mothers love knows no equal

a daughters being

02/25/2021 (#12 NO WATER)

On the 12th day of winter,

my true love gave to me . . .

eight inches snow,

frozen pipes awaiting,

no water yet . . .

Actually, much as I dislike winter,

I find I'm quite happy to take a snow

day! My guy has been working so

hard to get the pipes unfrozen, drains

working . . . water bottles everywhere,

so we have plenty drops to drink.

My son has been a god-send, giving

us drinking water, a shower or two 

and a clothes wash. He makes light

of it, but it's truly ever so helpful!

After a few quite nice days, this a.m.

we woke up to about 10 inches snow.

Me thinks we're going to sit in front

of the fire, listen to some music, even

sip a glass or two of red . . . a bit of

time off from water issues, as it were!

Hey, were it not for the plague, we

could throw a slightly smelly party . . .

call it white and bright

just recouping by the fire

leave your boots outside

02/24/2021 (#11 NO WATER)

Somewhere 'midst winter, no water

and or anything else you can come

up with, lies . . . wonderland! All

you need is that childlike awe . . .

Love the resilience of the human

spirit! It can actually overcome

almost anything! Initially, you

might not think so . . . and then

things start to happen!

You might not think you're strong

enough to endure, seek alternative

options, listen to unwanted advice;

somehow things start to unravel,

settle down!

Here we are in winter wonderland

with no water, but my amazing guy

has gotten us drainage and there's

hope for the morrow. 

Me thinks I might just double dare

you to live in a 130 year old cabin 

to prove yourself! Ha! We're proven;

make no mistake . . .

Next thing you know, we're going

to be making homemade brew in

our washtubs! Yikes!

dreams of yesteryear

wish i were a pioneer

but i am of sorts

02/23/2021 (#10 NO WATER)

God, what a saga we are living!

Seems to me that we may actually

understand some of the trials and

tribs our people of yesteryear went

through during their sojourn in this

130 year old cabin. So hope there

was joy as well!

Per a few requests to elaborate on

our own little foray into the darker

side of life . . . My amazing guy

was able to drill through the ice

once we rented an electric snake

yesterday afternoon. We have 

drainage; yayyyyyyy!!!

Today, he'll be taking up the jane

and floorboards to fix a broken 

intake pipe. Hopefully the last of

the frozen water in the well will

melt in today's 50 degree weather.

Just in time for snow tomorrow! 

We'll just have to wait and see. 

I find living in the past, as it were,

a most interesting experience. We

have an electric heater running 

under the cabin as well as a heat

light in the well. These are things

never thought of in our modern

world.

Here's me thinking I'd best don

my long dress, braid my hair and

put on my bonnet. Mustn't forget

to lace up my boots . . . 'tis a bit

deep around here!

alas im longing

so in love with yesteryear

needs me some modern

02/22/2021 (#9 NO WATER)

Oh the joys . . . and sorrows of living 

in a 130 year old cabin . . .

I've always longed to, you see, and my 

guy made it possible as I don't think I 

could make it here on my own.

I bought the cabin 9 years ago thinking 

it would be an ideal place for my women's 

circle to gather, hold the odd birthday party 

and meet with family . . . and indeed, it has

been all of that.

Three years ago, getting my affairs in order 

after some serious health issues, we moved 

here permanently at my behest. It has been 

nothing if not a challenge, and my guy is a 

HERO; make no mistake!

It has been a step back into yesteryear, 

which I have indeed loved! Nonetheless, 

that doesn't change the issues. At this

point, our pipes have been frozen for 9

days; no sign of unthawing. I purchased

a couple of heaters to put in the well and

under the cabin. 40 watt lightbulbs help

in the well. 'Tis quite the ordeal.

Praise the gods for Home Depot, even

Wally World . . . we have bottled water, 

each other and all is well. Do pray for 

a thaw! However, wouldn't mind a

shower!

live in yesteryear

thinking twice about modern

nah i like it here

02/21/2021 (#8 NO WATER)

There's nothing in the world like 

family, friends and neighbors, 

is there?!

All have offered us water as well

as showers during this difficult

time. I feel grateful just knowing

there are still this kind of people

out there.

Yesterday, we hit up my son for

showers and a clothes wash. A

real blessing, indeed! The best

part of course, was seeing him.

Good thing we're all keeping a

distance as a hug would have

been far too smelly! Ha!

I know I've been pretty annoyed,

if not downright angry, over

frozen pipes, no water and all

that goes with it. Still, this gives

an opportunity to recall the

blessing of water and all that

this gift brings to us.

Perhaps, today will be the day

we get water. Here's hoping!

And, on the eight day . . . water?

clean clothes clean clothes clean

showers never felt so good

would pay anything

02/20/2021 (#7 NO WATER)

Alas, today makes seven days without

water . . . frozen pipes, no baths, no

dishes washed, no toilet . . .

For me it has brought to mind those

amazing pioneers crossing the plains,

fording rivers, climbing mountains

and often dying in the process. What

amazing examples of tenacity, courage,

and drive. Me thinks I could get a clue!

We live in such a phenomenal era of

ease. We drive to work, we order out,

all manner of foods available at the

local supermarket, and never, ever to

forget cellphones that are beyond any

thing we could have ever pondered

in the not too far distant past.

Thinking along these lines brings me

to the conclusion that we don't even

have a clear idea of what arduous 

difficulties actually are.  O U C H !!!

Sooooo, here's me thinking that rather

than bitching about no water, I'd do

well to get out my old history books

and have a look see!!!

rivers streams oceans

looking forward to water

buy a jug or two

02/19/2021 (#6 NO WATER)

Pondering my dubious future 

never affected me much before 

turning 70!

And, I do consider it a gift. Yes, 

I've read all the adages that say 

it's a gift denied to many. Frankly, 

I'm quite surprised just how much 

I'm enjoying getting older. Never 

expected to live this long, much 

less like it!

Just think, I wouldn't have known

outings in the travel trailer. I would

never have had a clue what it was 

like to go to a pub. Fam reunions 

would have been out. And bottom 

line, I've loved living in my 130 

year old cabin!

Still on my future agenda . . . 

ordering pizza for home delivery. 

So much ice cream to be eaten at

odd hours! And, as I've only worn

black for many a year, I'm actually 

considering adding in a bit of color 

to my wardrobe!

love me some aging

experience never lived

got me a long list

02/18/2021 (#5 NO WATER)

Dad used to say when I was bummed

about something that I needed to make

a list, a list enumerating the things for

which I was grateful. Bless his heart;

used to annoy me, but I so get it!

Having done this many a time, I'm

thinking I should do it having to do

with the weird. Indeed, there are so 

many weird things that appeal to me.

So love me some ice cream in bed

'round about 4:30 or 5:00 a.m. I like 

leftover cold mac and cheese when I

don't feel like cooking. Love it when

my guy hands me a tiny bite of the

cookie he's eating.

So fun when we're going somewhere

and accidentally bypass the turn. All

of a sudden, I see a place I'd like to

have a look see. Going down the road,

my guy says out of the blue, "Hey, 

there's a pub; let's stop and have a

brewski!"

Out and about, I've unexpectedly run

into an old friend. Once greeted and

chatted up, they suggested lunch . . . 

and actually follow through! One of

my kids sends me an e-mail saying,

"Saw this and it reminded me of you!

Love ya!"

so love me some weird

strange unusual funky 

yes that would be moi

02/17/2021 (#4 NO WATER)

Did you ever hear your little kid say,

"Mom, I need a bath!" I know! I know!

Not bloody likely! Just try being w/o

water for 5 days!

No drinking water, no bathing water,

no washing water . . . just try flushing

with all the sodas and drinks you have

in the house . . . no, I'm NOT kidding!

What a phenomenal mess!

I would have to admit, learning to think

outside the box here. So Baby Wipes

are no longer for babies and a change

of clothes is tantamount to a shower. 

I'm only sorry we tore down the100

year old privy when we redid the place.

I'm thinking! I'm thinking! Isn't it in

the Orient where you can rent a shower

by the hour? Me thinks we would do

well to have something along those

lines! And here's me not having had a

vacation for ever so long . . .

pondering notions

02/16/2021 (#3 NO WATER)

First, we were at minus 5 degrees, 

then minus 8 . . .

Never thought it could get so cold. 

Wow! The pipes have been frozen 

in both the kitchen and the bathroom 

for two days . . . so we're out of H2O.

I did manage to stash a five gallon 

bucket of water in the shower just 

before all this sub zero freezing 

occurred. And, we do have a case 

of drinking water, thank God! 

I accidentally catch myself in the 

mirror from time to time; YIKES !!! 

So, I've been running into ye olde

Phyllis Diller on a regular basis. 

She no could have done better 

herself!

Not sure where we're going from

here . . . I may have to wend my

way up the mountain and beg a

shower from my son if he still 

has water. Perhaps a local hotel.

Did I ever mention how I suffer

from SADS and hate Winter

because of it?! ~!@#$%^&*()_+

Oh my God . . . I am W O W E D

beyond the pale!!!

Mister three-horned buck is at our

bird feeder, we're talking pure magic.

I look at his beauty of a different

kind and I find myself without words!

Mother nature at her best . . .

The majority of birds fly south during

the winter, but for the few that don't,

my guy keeps them in seeds. When 

we sit in front of the fire, we watch

them pecking away.

Obviously seed falls to the ground

and this is where the squirrels come

in. We have both the rusty and the

black squirrels. The blacks are my

faves . . . absolutely adorable.

As the seed scatters, the deer come

and help themselves. Our three-

horned lad is usually accompanied

by his three ladies. Mr. Selfish nudges

his gals aside and feeds to his heart's

content. Only after he is finished, do

the ladies get to eat.

02/14/2021 - Valentine's Day (#1 NO WATER)

Saint Valentine, known as Saint Valentine

of Rome, was a widely recognized 3rd-

century Roman saint, commemorated in

Christianity on February 14. From the 

High Middle Ages, his Saints' Day has 

been associated with a tradition of courtly

love.  Wikipedia

What an amazing day! Celebrated by

married couples, dating couples, friends,

families and children . . . Valentine's Day

seduces us all!

My guy and I were recalling  Valentine's Day

in the classroom as kids. Our elementary ed

teachers had us bring a valentine for each

child. And you'll recall, the sets came with 

one for the teacher.

Our teacher would then gift us each a cupcake

as well as a valentine from her. We got our first

male teacher in 7th grade and that was the end

of our classroom celebrations. Me thinks 'twas

rather sad!

I still send a plethora of cards to family and

friends on February 1st. Must be the kid in me,

but I really enjoy doing this. Well, I should

probably confess, I just love snail mail . . . the

more, the merrier.

So, here's wishing us all love, friendship and

fabulous relationships . . . 

 . . . Happy Valentine's Day!

so many friendships

theres so much love in my heart

ever loving all

02/13/2021

Oh my God! What a dream; what

a reunion!!

Can't help but wonder if the solitude

and separations gifted us by the plague

are at the source of these dreams.

In my ever-so-real dream, we all met

at a half-way point 'twixt and 'tween

us all. We used my travel trailer as a

meet-up place due to its mobility. We

each brought snacks, foods, drinks.

After the usual hugs and gaiety, we

sat down to catch up, tell our stories,

joys and sorrows all . . .

At my wake-up point, I remember 

feeling this utter sense of peace, of

contentment. It is a gift, rarely given, 

that creates such as this . . .

must be missing you

so loved having a peek see

fond memories all

02/12/2021

I am so loving these days just prior

to Valentine's Day . . . and the big 

day still awaits!

This year I've had fun making 

my own Valentines. I probably 

owe this bit of creativity to the 

plague as I so did not wish to hit 

the stores. And on my end of the 

stick, I've received the odd card 

in the mail, a couple of e-cards, 

even a pair of sweet gifts. 

I find myself looking forward 

to what my guy is doing. He

tells me we're spending the day 

in front of the fire. He plans on 

my faves . . . fresh strawberries 

with sour cream and brown sugar. 

Not to forget . . . iced champagne.

I've had a couple of friends stop 

by and that's so fun as I made 

Rose Bath Salts for the gals brave 

enough to come over. Both fun!

and frivolous!

Here's me hoping you get a bath

on me . . .

from my heart to yours

so love me some cards and gifts

cant wait til next year

02/11/2021

 Do you ever just get the willies?

And, maybe not even have a clue

why? Have you felt a little on this

side of scared, but you realize you

really don't have any reason to be

frightened?

Running clueless here, and I mean

clueless! All day, I've been a bit of

a nervous wreck.  No idea why!

Maybe one of my sins is catching

up with me!

The trick when this happens, is to

figure out something that will take

away the jitters. There are a couple

of things I try on for size.

Take a walk, a change of activities, 

read or watch something amusing,

make a phone call or write a card;

all good ways to change those

pesky unnerving thoughts.

Me thinks I'd best take that walk

now!

got me some jitters

best get my head together

settle down missy

02/10/2021

I find myself counting the days . . .

    February 14 - Valentine's day

    March 21 - Spring

    April 22 - Earth Day

    May 1 - Beltane

    June 21 - Summer Solstice

    July 24 - Gypsies in July

    August 1 - Lughnasadh

    September 21 - Autumn

    October 31 - Samhain

    November 25 - Thanksgiving

    December 21 - Yule 

 . . . and I see I'm only looking 

ahead rather than enjoying today.

Definitely bears thinking about!

Then justification comes a visiting.

I'm only planning ahead! You know

I like to send out cards on special

occasions. There's so much to do in

order to be ready . . . Yes, but what

about today?!

And just in time, I remember . . .

I'm the most unbalanced Libra in

Kingdom Come. I also have two

first names . . . That time honored

adage rears its wondrous head,

"When in doubt, do both!"

Am I up to it? Of course I am! 70

years of experience after all! When

did you say Valentine's Day is?!

only the future

dont forget about today

~The Beatles

The weatherman is threatening snow

again. We've been running at below

freezing for a while now and simply

awaiting that ominous drift of white.

Not quite sure I'll make it this time.

It is Winter, after all; bits and pieces

of the s-word are to be expected. In

fact, I can live with that . . . until it

gets so slushy, frozen and dangerous.

Somewhere 'twixt and 'tween this

long lasting white x-mas and the

plague, 'tis best to stay inside. But,

oh how I long to go outside!

I do thank the gods for fire, sitting

side by side with my lover, watching

the birds at the feeder. It may even

be the best way I can deal with the

snow. It's a bit magical watching it

come down, collect and cover the 

old.

Still, SADS dishes out that sense 

of foreboding, sorrow, fear . . . and 

although it may all be psychological, 

those wretched feelings are alive and 

well. 

begging i make it

American Football; most amazing! 

My guy sooooo enjoyed himself all 

day long yesterday. 

The hours of preamble were quite 

fun! I spent my time writing and 

every little while he'd interrupt me 

to say there was something that was

a must see.

Really loved the music; well chosen

musicians and no expense spared. 

The fireworks and jet fly overs were 

spectacular. I got such a kick out of

the paper dolls used to fill the stands

and insure equidistancing. 

I woke up in the middle of the night

and my dear heart and gentle people

was watching the game all over again.

I do love it when each and every one

of us finds something that gladdens

our hearts and fills our souls.

Maybe it won't be American football

for me, but I thrill at seeing others

enjoying themselves to the fullest!

important to some

watch the game or watch people

02/07/2021

This a.m. at o' dark thirty, I had the joy

of watching We are the world, we are

the children on FB. Been a long time 

since I had heard it and I was moved to

tears . . .

The song is pure magic; make no mistake.

I watched these young people perform

this remarkable masterpiece by Michael

Jackson and Lionel Ritchie in absolute

awe. 

I spoke of being moved . . . there's the

beauty of the piece itself, the brilliant

idea of bringing all these awesome stars

together, add in the message and then

there's that word MAGIC again!

I've ever and always been intrigued by

our different beliefs, the kaleidoscope

of our amazing colors and costumes. 

It's beauty, pure beauty . . . how cannot

we be moved by the wonder of it all?!

Seventy years I've been living in this

mind boggling world; I pray I be gifted

yet another few. Still, in all these years,

I've never understood the hate, the anger,

the crimes, the wars . . . born out of this

world of wonder.

I pray we each commit to add to the joy,

the sweet, the glorious, rather than the ugly.

I pray POSITIVE will be given a chance,

a preference over NEGATIVE. I pray

without ceasing . . .

fear of losing hope

blind my eyes to the ugly

02/06/2021

I can't help but wonder at the value of

routine. Me thinks the 'R' word invades

our spaces at every turn . . .

Harking back to those 41 years I was

teaching, sooooo don't think I would've 

made it without routine. Everything

from survival to enjoyment depended 

on it. Getting up at o' dark thirty, driving 

like hell and gone to get to school an 

hour away, rushing home to fix supper, 

loving on my kids a bit and off to bed.

I find it interesting to compare my highly

routined days of yesteryear to those I live 

now. Alas, I still wake at ungodly hours, 

but I can have ice cream for breakfast, 

fall back asleep when I've a mind to, run 

out on errands or sit by the fire all day if 

I so choose.

Maybe the real answer, the right answer,

would be to have some of both worlds on

the agenda. There's absolutely nothing

wrong with an organized life with a dash

of spontaneity for dessert. It comes to me

that I may just be looking for the word

LIVE vs. the term EXIST!

Most likely, we associate living with

spontaneity and existing with routine.

And like it or not, there may be some

truth to this. But, to coin a time honored

phrase, when in doubt, do both!

love me some living

existings overrated 

perhaps balance both

02/05/2021

Oh my God . . . you cannot even believe

the value of those old time crime flicks . . .

Me thinks one can NOT beat the likes

of Columbo, Magnum P.I. Cannon . . .

I love that you get to 'quick and dirty'

see the crime, and spend the rest of the

show figuring out the who done it bits!

I have a hard time with dark and an 

even more difficult time with the 

whole evil bit . . . but the old times 

flicks are interesting, and NOT quite 

so dark. One can actually sleep nights!

So love me some mystery, the whole

getting a clue, figuring out the bits

and pieces . . .

 . . . Now, if I could only be that good

at figuring out my own shit!!!

lets have a look see

hey lady whatcha doin

tis none of your biz

02/04/2021

Once in a great while, everything 

finds itself perfect . . . just once in a

while! This was one of those times!

The weather was perfect. No one 

was in the bank line. We didn't have 

to wait to get gas . . .  My only 

sorrow was that the price on my fave 

champagne went up $3.00 a bottle . . . 

bought it anyway! One does have to

have priorities after all!

Much appreciate that the errands were 

quick and dirty. Home to a fave flick

and a snack . . .

Rather pisses me off that it's supposed

to snow half a foot tonight! I pray my

memories of this lovely warm afternoon 

distract me from my loathing of upcoming

snow!

My lover, trying to distract me from my

own abhorrence of Winter as well as 

snow, suggested a day in front of the 

fireplace with Summer margs in tow. 

Rather makes me look forward to the 

morrow!

save me from the snows

Brown paper packages, tied up with string . . .

~Oscar Hammerstein II

Beings that Winter refuses to leave town for

the unforeseeable future and me being into 

avoidance, been pondering some of my own 

favorite things! 

I believe Mr. Postman may actually be one

of the great loves of my life. From puberty 

to motherhood, I always snail-mailed a 

couple or so letters a day. I imagine, living

in Olde Mexico helped as well . . . 

And, then there are packages. I swear, there

is nothing more fun, more entertaining than 

gifts, packing them up, and sending them 

off to brighten someone's day. It's such a

process. The choosing of the right gift for

a friend. Finding just the right box and 

and packagings. And make no mistake . . .

brown paper is essential! Alas, the post

office won't accept string any longer!

As package postage seems to be in 

competition to win first place in pricing,

I've been sending books of late. Book

rate is a little easier for one living on

half retirement.  Even so, sometimes the

stamps are more than the book to begin

with; go figure! Still fun anyway . . .

Last, but not least, I love postcards. I 

buy them everywhere. I even buy new

cards and cut them into the old 4" x 6".

I send out over 250 every Christmas.

My friends must think I'm nuts.

Sooooo maybe, just maybe, you'll be

next to get something in the mail from

me!

hey mister postman

any packages for me

awaiting the mail

02/02/2021 - IMBOLC

Sooooo love Imbolc, especially as it 

marks the halfway point 'twixt and 'tween 

Winter and Spring. For me, it's hope, if

you will, that never ending Winter may

actually come to an end after all. 

But for me, today is all about honoring

Lady Brighid. At the time the church 

began its sojourn in religious history, 

she was deemed a saint as a tie between

Paganism and Christianity. Her actual

existence made the crossover easier for

many.

Hundreds of years later, it was time to

clean up the saints, as it were. Certainly,

it must have been a tasking ordeal, but

many saints were dismissed from the

annals of time. 'Mongst these, was our

beloved Brighid.

Interestingly enough, as she was revered

by both the European nations and the three

Americas, there was no way that this was 

going to be accepted. Fits of gigantic 

proportions were thrown to the point that 

she was promptly reinstated.

Our lady is an inspiration in so many

arenas, it's hard to know where to begin.

Healers and midwives turn to her. Poets

seek her inspiration. And, as she is the 

goddess of hearth and fire, smithies revere 

her. Yet, it is interesting to note that our 

lady also protects the household from the 

very fire that warms and creates.

Enjoy Imbolc, celebrate its different facets,

but hold our Lady Brighid in your hearts . . .

lady hear our cry

bright blessings of hope from you

may we remember

 Sooooo love me some February . . .

Frankly, realizing the survival of

January is past tense and given way 

to one of my fave months is absolutely

glorious!

Black history month is celebrated the

entire month . . . a glorious happening 

that came about in 1969 whilst I was 

busy getting wed and beginning my life 

in Old Mexico.

The lunar new year, for those of us who

are about half loony tunes and celebrate

Paganism, is also in February. So love

me some full moons!!!

And, never to forget Valentine's day. 

Here in US, it may be more about love,

whereas in Mexico, it may indeed be

that as well, but it's truly more about

friendship. In fact, I celebrate the entire

month as the love between friends is

precious indeed.

President's day is an interesting time.

I fear it's not one I think about much,

being somewhat politically naive.

Remembering Ash Wednesday, 

as it is highly celebrated by all my

Catholic friends. Maybe this would

be the time to confess . . . one of the

things about February that I love is

it's the shortest month in the year!

Wow indeed! Welcome to February!!

I only pray I can stay on my diet!!!

hey lets celebrate

loving me some holidays

champagne on the house

p.s. I promise not to tell that one

of the reasons Feb is my fave is that

it gifts us Leap Year from time to time . . .
