Love me tender!


We've been watching ALOT of old movies, including a whole slew of Elvis's finest! In the process my sweetie has been going around singing "Love me tender". Goofy movie, great song! It now seems to be permanently embedded in his brain and he can't get it out. I know how he feels, he's been embedded in my brain for over 38 yrs! So what better sentiment for his Valentine this year. Maybe you can use it too!

You're in my heart, you're in my soul...


...you'll be my breathe should I grow old! Oh, I am old! But not so old I can't get a little mooshy on this special day just for lovers.
My sweetie and I attended Chocolate Fantasia in Silver City last Saturday. We were awash in the sweet Chocolate bliss and you'd think we would be all sweeted out, but no-o-o!!! I always tend to overdo it a bit on Valentine's Day, so here are the results.

The Sweets...

Dark chocolate ganache sugar cookies...


...for family and friends...


...traditional decorated sugar cookies (It just wouldn't be Valentine's without them!)...


...chocolate ganache covered, triple chocolate brownie...


...fudge with orange peel, hot New Mexico chili and cinnamon...

...and then the gifts. This year I framed three pictures I took and edited.







The Dinner




Goat cheese, raspberries and pecan salad

Tomato basil soup with sour cream heart


Broiled lobster tail, lamb chop with rosemary, heart shaped three cheese
raviolli in lemon sage sauce, and love knot rolls with herbs and cheese


And make sure to save room for dessert, rich chocolate pudding
 with whipped cream, raspberry and chocolate hearts.

A little Valentine Decor












Two of my grandaughters even came decorated for Valentine's Day.
Their mom braided and twisted their hair into cute heart shapes for the occasion.


A special Valentine, so full of love it's SCARY!

This is what I recieved in the mail today from my grandkids. It brought a little tear to my eye.

It was filled with love and little notes from each of them.


My Grandkids ROCK!

Valentines 2011


  I adore the holidays! I inherited that love from my Grandma Hale. She made every holiday special for my mom as she was growing up. One Easter Grandma even went so far as to place a live rabbit in their house so my mom would think it was the Easter Bunny who delivered the colored eggs. Well, we all know the real Easter Rabbit would never poop all over the house and have a breakdown and run like crazy so no one could catch it!
  My mom told me stories of Grandma trudging through the snow with her on her back to deliver Valentines to her friends and neighbors. Back then they would place the Valentine on the doorstep, knock and run. We still do that at my house today!


We had a luvlee celebration this year at my house. It was the first weekend trip Jori was able to make after her surgery, so we were all a little giddy!

Cousins Pedicures


We had to be looking pretty for our special Valentine dinner, so everyone grabbed a partner and exchanged pedicures.





Uncle Adam does a mean pedicure!

A "Love"-ly Dinner


The kids decorated and set their own table.

They enjoyed prime rib, love knot rolls, and veggies.




Since three of our adult family members were missing,
 Danii & Merrill were promoted to the "Big" table. Lucky for them, they
got to add on the yummy strawberry goat cheese salad and lobster tail.





All my lovin', I will send to you-u-u!

I wasn't able to be with my sweetie for a few years on Valentine's day, so I made him a Valentine he could open every day for two months while I was away. I painted a mailbox and decorated it with love stickers then I wrote out a line from the Beatles "All my lovin' " and told him while I was away i'd write home every day. I wrapped up lots of little gifts and placed them in the mailbox. Everyday he found a gift and a little love note to let him know I was thinking of him.
