* My sister is coming this weekend to cut and color my hair and Fisher’s and Blythe’s and Keziah’s and maybe even little Annes will get a new do! I can’t wait to get my hair back into some semblance of style.

* My neighbor took Blythe to seminary when the suburban wouldn’t start on Tuesday. Thanks for saving the day Anna!

* My children have read and read and read during the read-a-thon. We all had a great time with it!

* My sweetie made Valentine’s Day so fun with a scrumptious breakfast and red decorations!

* My friends, Jennifer and Kat, had an awesome adult Valentine’s Day party. They went all out preparing a feast for us! There were heart shaped mushrooms, peppers, and cucumbers. There was an exquisite pita bar, a chocolate fountain with strawberries and pineapple, Kat’s famous hummus, apple dipping with caramel, chocolate, nuts, and candies. It was so yummy! We talked and played games and had a wonderful time.

Thanks to Blythe for being such a wonderful babysitter and letting us have a night out with friends!

* The sun shone almost every day this week. I cannot tell you how much difference the sun makes in my outlook!

* Both Browning families let us go skating with them yesterday for an end of the season ice skating bonanza. My girls had tons of fun! Thanks for letting us help you use up your pass.

* I was able to be the mentor for Blythe’s colloquium group. We had a fabulous discussion about Animal Farm. It is such a privilege to know these youth and to take part in their education. The insights they had about freedom, sacrifice, common sense, government forms, and their role in being defenders of liberty were inspiring to me. What a great way to spend an afternoon!

* I am grateful for my readers. The comments you leave touch my heart and help me know I am not alone. This past week my emotions were all over the map and reading your words helped me immensely. Thank you for your support, your kindness, and your wisdom.
