Valentine's~Week~What does it mean?

Nothing really..all commercialism and what about people w/ no loves in their lives?
I say..  let's shy away from it apart from the ones you have to tell how much you love them.
Or like them;)

Even if it's just you.

Can you tell he's our youngest?
When you know he's the last..you hang on;)For dear life;)

Sprinkled w/ icing sugar..even prettier..Thanks Pam!

Last year Jacques told me the boys were too old for Furry Friend Stuffed toys for Valentine's so I mailed them their cards this year..they are my Valentines♥

Caroline sent me a pic of Oli reading his..♥

Loved the pic..:)♥

And I had promised you the Pretty Pie..well there it is..

I follow @Mariesaba on Instagram and she made this:)she also has a website/blog..
And you can find the custard pie recipe there..well..right here
How could I resist making such a pretty pie.
And she has more..:)

And those chocolate hearts? Well if you need a short order delicious choco dessert..this is it..
I have followed Pam for years on her blog..and now on IG..

I got around to making these because I still had dark choco from TJ's..
why don't we have one here:)?

Super glad I had everything on hand..my heart baking tin is so old I cannot even remember when I got it.
Yet my memory is good;)
Knock on wood grateful.



So I am getting older.. make no mistake about that..

..this ..is pretty much a beautiful thing to me this week..when we are young..things are so different..

Have a look..here..if you want to have puddles in your eyes~

When we are older..well..wait..you will see:)

Above a page in one of my  journals gleaned from..what I learned reading Samantha Dion Baker's Book..Paint your Day~

Have a good week:)
Take Care..
And go see IG if you can.You can learn so much.
And no ads on the posts..just in between..Well yes some posts are all about buy this buy that but most ..not..

Honestly..I can't even PIN on blogs I love because there are so many ads..everything takes forever to load.
I apologize to all of you if you are not hearing from me..
I just can't.
It just doesn't load to Pin..
