Valentines, Snow AGAIN, Scarlett, and family... LOVE it!

February 11th brought snow to our land again!!
Scarlett has always loved the snow, and this may be her last season.
She is such a beautiful part of my life, and I'm glad she is being allowed more time for the
things in life that she loves.
The buck have not yet lost their antlers and this one has found the corn Troy threw out on the snow covered ground.
Valentine's DAY... Sunday this year... so our family meal was planned for 6 that evening.
We invited Nana and Pop to the celebration....
Troy and I spent the day wrapping giant Texas Tiger Shrimp with
bacon, jalapenos and cream cheese.
The tenderloin was grilled to perfection alongside fresh blueberries, salad, and those beautiful pink grilled shrimp.
For dessert.... chocolate dipped strawberries....
The question of the night was: "What do people do that makes you feel loved?"
Everyone answered, and the good words continued after the meal was over.
Then Troy gave me a gift..... HE DID THE DISHES!!!
(for any of you who know my man... this is not an unusual occurrence, but tonight, as everything was winding down... I looked into the kitchen, and there he was... blessing me with his gift of service!) I love that guy!
PLUS... he gave me my two boys ... both alexandrites... on my heart! YES Troy, they are worth what they are! TREASURES!!!! and my prayer bracelet is gonna be wonderful too:)
Thank You LORD for another beautiful Valentine's Day with people that captivate my heart in all the right ways!
