It's really hard to get workers up here in the mountains, so after several tries to different landscapers, my son raked all the leaves, bagged them up, and swept down the walkways. I was so grateful.
I came across this heart magnet. It's one of the few things that I didn't label on the back, but I think it was from Jess when she was little. She was always doing craft projects and making me little things, just like I did for my mom. I put it on my fridge for Valentine's Day.
Jess made some lasagna soup, and she said it was Yummy!
I don't like to venture out too far up here, cause I'm awful with directions, but I did hear about a river that was close by, and checked it out yesterday, with the help of my son. ; ) I couldn't take pictures of the river, cause there was no where to park and do that, but it was so pretty. I did get a few of the creek that runs into the lake. There's a resting area there with picnic benches.
Tea time with my favorite Palmer chocolate hearts.
A photo of my girls always makes me happy. I hope to see them soon.
This cake was from January, but just getting around to showing it to you. Jess and Brian made the most creative cake for Renecke.
Party favors for the women.
Make-up time.
Those are just a few of my happy things in February.

Lasagna soup??? 😳
Recipe please...
Lasagna soup. Sounds yummy.
What a wonderful post. I love the pictures of the kids, of course. That feeder into the lake is beautiful. I love pictures like that. I am so glad you have a son to help you. He is a lot like my youngest son. What a blessing!
Do you have GPS in your car? Or maybe you could wear a compass around your neck? LOL. My husband is SOOO directionally challenged. When we moved back to Green Bay when we got married he could not find his way around--and he had spent 22 years of his life here. lol
I hope you have a great week. xo Diana
So many places to explore. I know when spring arrives you will find that little sitting place a perfect get away. Your girls are adorable.
Did your rose change on the top of your blog? I went there and it just felt different. Pretty.
Do you watch Hallmark - did you see the one with Betty White - you HAVE to see it - that heart on your fridge reminded me about it. Excellent.
Do you watch Virgin River - that is what it looks like up in your area with the mountains and rivers - so pretty.
My favorite is the four girls giving you kisses - so sweet.
The 40th birthday cake awesome.
I need someone to rake our leaves!
I always love your blogs!
Love, sandie
Beautiful river. It's just there to eat snacks.
The cake is very creative!
Yes for the lasagna soup. :)
That looks like such a nice outing with your son, Sheri. I'm so happy you are enjoying your new home and its environment. Your girls are so talented--such a cute cake. And the photo of your grands with the makeup is darling. Your chocolate hearts sure look sweet and yummy. Have a nice week ahead.
What fun with family. We have a stream/small flowing next to the bench. Comforting.
What a great quote at the end of your post.
Loved seeing the puckered lips from your girls.
How lovely to have a son that helps you when you need help.
Sweet tea time!
So many happy things and so much family fun. That cake is really impressive! Have a great week my friend - hugs!
I love that quote...and that view with the picnic with the picnic table in the foreground. I would love to see the girls after they got done with the make-up!
Wonderful river. Water brings me so much peace, I could just sit there all day. Sometimes I take a trip to the river just to see if it's still there and soak up the peace.
Your girls are gorgeous, and such a blessing. The cake is amazingly cool!! This soup looks beyond yummy, maybe you can get us the recipe? I would love to make it, it looks like the ultimate comfort food.
Lasagna soup sounds amazing as I am starting to get my appetite back.
Sweet vignettes and great quote.Your posts are always happy!Have you heard from Mildred? I send her an email but have no answer. Hugs and blessings.
I love the quote!
The lasagna soup sounds good.
I LOVE all your photos, but that one of Make - Up Time, that is just precious.
I've never heard of lasagna soup, but it sounds delicious, especially as cold as it's been. That cake is really neat.
The soup sounds yummy. I love the cake. My bday is also in January. I didn't have a cake this year due to being sick. )-: I love the valentines day art work. I found some of my Dad's old valentines from when he was a kid. I really enjoyed finding those. Hope you are enjoying your week!
Good morning Sheri! Yes, we have many people, moments and things in our lives to remind us to see the "happy" in every day. You are blessed!
Oh my, Lasagne soup! My family would love that. Such a lovely post full of February happiness. Nature abounds in your area, and you have found another sweet place by the creek. It looks like somebody had an excellent 40th - that cake is awesome. What clever cooks you all are. Happiness is a perfect pink rose. Happy Valentine's Sheri.
You ARE having a happy February! I love each and every photo. Those hearts are wonderful -- all of them, including the sweet Valentine magnet. And the lasagna soup sounds delicious. Great party favors, too. But I especially love the beautiful photos of the creek. It's very peaceful and lovely.
So nice to have your son close by to help out and spend the day with you, Shari. Of course he is helpful and kind - you raised him! The little lake is so pretty tucked under the trees and it looks like a nice place to return to this summer for a picnic with your girls. Love the photos of them sending kisses and the girlies putting on lipstick. I love that you saved the little heart and take it out to display it. Such a little thing, but means so much, I know. Your chocolate hearts are giving me a craving...I need to go rummage around for something sweet. Hope your week is also sweet. Sending hugs xo K
Awww, my youngest used to make things for me all the time, too. What a sweet find. Mmmmmmm, and chocolate hearts, yum. Those spots you visited look lovely, even in winter. A nice place for a picnic, come spring. Such a lovely family you have, Sheri. And that cake! Wow! Looks like February is full of joy for you, my friend.
Oh, and that soup! What a great idea to make lasagna into soup.
The hearts are so sweet!!!! You live in a gorgeous area....love the pics you shared. That cake...OMG it is so amazing!!!!

What a lovely February so far... sweet faces of family you love, a glimpse of a beautiful river, leaves bagged and removed, and a fun birthday party... so much to love! I love Good Earth tea, and sweet and spicy is one of my favorites, paired with chocolate - definitely a nice afternoon treat! The lasagna soup does sound so good... we are definitely enjoying lots of soups these days! Blessings to you! Have a great weekend :)
