We were ready for her!!
After Papa and I were both showered and dressed...
We got busy!!!
Papa had to go out for a while...
So Miss V and I took this opportunity...
To work on a few Valentines cards ♥️
She made one for each of her special people in her life...
Especially her little friend Sammy...Her Moms friends son...
He is a wee bit younger than her...but she loves whenever they get together..
After we were done...
I packed up her "Craft Basket"...
Found a great use for this basket I bought at a thrift shop last year....
Everything neat and tidy...
The crafting was done by 11:30 am...
Time for lunch...
The day got better and better...
Our temps climbed all the way to 15C...a new record for this day in February...
Flowers for today...are this incredibly beautiful White Geranium...
It grew in my tree basket...and was simply exquisite...
enjoy!
Stay tuned for part 2 of our day with Miss V...
To be continued...........
Miss V and her Mom stayed for dinner...
We had baked Haddock...brussell sprouts,bok choy,fries and a Greek Salad...
Everyone cleaned up their plates!
Hope you all had a great day...
Cheers! :o)
linda ♥️

ReplyDeleteI love your craft basket and I am am feeling like a Grammy kind of day is due here.
I have heart shaped "Christmas" cookies in my basement freezer just waiting to be frosted and decorated.
(I turned my Christmas cookie dough into hearts.)
It was a beautiful day and I took a ride down past the lake on my way home tonight.
:0)
Quite a compliment coming from Nana of the year!
DeleteThat sounds perfect...they will love it!
How was the Lake? We won't see ours for a while...we exit on Sunday!
It was gorgeous! Just before 5pm and the sky was glowing pink and blue.
DeleteI took a few photos but didn't get out of my van.
I'll probably post a few tomorrow.
Look forward to that!
DeleteAhhh, such sweet Valentines! I was kind of surprised that you and Miss V weren't baking cookies or something. Your geraniums are looking good. Mine are doing well, too. :)

Love the valentine cards and how little Miss V. focuses so intently. Brought back great memories of teaching and how crafts with my class was one of my favourite times! Your dinner sounded delish, we had beef stew and roasted beets. Comfort food although it didn't really feel like winter at all yesterday!
ReplyDeleteThat is nice, coming from a teacher! I am always happy to occupy her creative side...even if only for a while!
DeleteMuch colder today....got my nails done....brrrrrr in my flipflops! Hahaha!
Aw, what a fun time you had with V. The basket is sweet and perfect for storing crafts. It's 8 here today and the snow is melted a lot. Decks are bare again and the driveway is almost. I hear we may get snow tomorrow. We need it!!
ReplyDeleteWe are cold again...but sunny!!
DeleteWhat lovely valentines!!! Everyone will enjoy receiving those! xx
ReplyDeleteYes they sure will, Amy!!
DeleteI did Valentine's day crafts with my nana. I still have them!
ReplyDeleteYou trying to make me cry Barbara??
DeleteWhat fun !! Im sure she was happy !! and I know she loves stay with you :)
ReplyDeleteHow adorable. Such precious moments Linda:)
ReplyDeleteThat White Geranium is GORGEOUS! I actually have buds on my kolache plant, which by the way I "blame" on YOU! After seeing yours, I just had to get one, lol...Such a strange weather, I'm not sure it's even suppose to be blooming!
Thanks for sharing, Linda...
