Sweet

Valentine’s is fast approaching now. One week to go! When I decorate forĀ  a holiday, I do it in pretty much every room in my house, just like my Mom. So, it only makes sense to me, that my computer has a touch of Valentine’s as well!

I love the Gooseberry Patch wallpapers and from time to time I use them as my computer background. I loved their Valentine pancakes backdrop for this month and that is what is bringing a little pink Valentine’s sweetness to my desktop, every time I turn on my computer.

We are working on Valentine’s plans together. Maybe just a romantic dinner, maybe dinner and a movie, the cinema down the road is doing a one night only showing of Ghost, so that sounds like fun.

But first things first, will be Valentine’s breakfast, I think Mr. Michie just might find some heart shaped pancakes waiting for him when he comes downstairs that morning like the ones pictured above, with fresh strawberries and whipped cream! I think that would start our day out perfectly!

I was looking over the Gooseberry Patch Blog this weekend and this post was at the top of their list. It made me think of being little. We made little apple turkeys just like this in elementary school, sans the cereal feathers, they were all marshmallows going up our little feather toothpicks.

I loved celebrating holidays in school. At Thanksgiving we paraded around with our construction paper pilgrim hats or Indian headdresses upon our heads. We brought canned goods in for the needy and made turkey pictures out of our hand prints.

There are times when I think we forget how simple our world’s were when we were little, that there is something to just taking in life, having fun in the moment and just breathing. Looking at the Tom Turkey apple made me think of just that. I think I am going to hunt up some apples and mini marshmallows and have a little fun of my own!
