Hi Chris Glad you and your family are having a nice day and enjoyed shopping.Happy to hear you found some great items and had fun. It reached about 52 here late afternoon. It felt warmer but with a wind it probably felt like 46 or 47. Great to see your tulip sprouts . It is early for them. Hope they will be ok if we receive more snow in Feb. The hot wheels you found are really cool. Thanks for all my nice hugs today. Have a good night. Hugs to everyone-Stephanie

Good morning Chris So glad that you had such a great time shopping yesterday. John and I went to Dollar General yesterday to get some things for the church. I took over doing the flowers on the altar for a while. The girl that was doing it is sick and can't do it so I temporarily took the job until she gets back on her feet. So I needed some baby's breath for the bouquets of roses that I am putting together and that is really the best place to get anything like that. John took over the janitor job and he needed some cleaning things so we just got everything there. It was a fun trip.

I can't believe you have tulip sprouts already. It will be at least a couple of months before we have any kind of sprouts or flowers. I am looking so forward to spring. I can't wait to get to spend time in the picnic grove and add flowers and bushes to it this year. I am really excited and having fun planning what I am going to put back there to make it pretty.

The rabbits and the deer are still coming into the yard each evening. It is so much fun to see the deer. The ringnecks and the quail are still coming to the bird feeder and they are so pretty. I love the little quail. They look little puff balls with feathers!!! The cardinals visit every day and we have blue jays again. We never had blue jays until last year and now we have lots of them. I can't wait for the hummingbirds, robins, and orioles to return. I love my little hummingbirds.

Mya, Abby, and Allie have been enjoying being outside more. Since it warmed up a little they are wanting to spend more time exploring outside. Allie comes up through the week but on the weekends she pretty much stays at home. I miss seeing her on the weekends. Once it warms up for good though we will see her on the weekends because she will visit us when we are out in the picnic grove. We love all our four legged friends.

Got to run and get ready for church. I hope you have a fantastic day. We are getting ready for Superbowl Sunday too and it should be interesting because John is rooting for the Patriots and I am rooting for the Eagles. Take care dear friend. Love you much -- Debbie, John, Mya Abby and Allie
