Fun! fun! Fun! Food and Flowers!

Fun! fun! Fun! Food and Flowers!

The snow is finally melting and it is raining today! Are you looking forward to spring? I am! Soon the crocuses will be out! Where ever you live, try to get out of the house and find flowers and good food. They are good for your soul!

Look at some wonderful pics of upcoming events. The Philadelphia Flower Show is a great way to see the latest in outdoor design and see wonderful displays of flowers and horticulture. There is a great section for shopping as well!

Mardi Gras, Lent

Mardi Gras - Fat Tuesday

Tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, brings Lent, preparation for Easter.
We enjoyed donuts for the last time for a while.
Seek the Lord while he may be found.

Almighty and everlasting God, you hate nothing you have made and forgive the sins of all who are penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our wretchedness, may obtain of you, the God of all mercy, perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

See my daughter's blog for suggestions of things to do with your kids during Lent.

"Love is in the Air" Valentine Mantel

Welcome to my home! I'm getting ready for Valentine's Day. Planning a nice menu, decorating a pretty table and looking forward to some time with my husband. I love flowers, candles, soft music, teddy bears, hearts, a crackling fire and poetry. Hope you make things special for your love too! xoxox Jennnifer aka Gigi

Song of Solomon:

Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm.
For love is strong as death and jealousy as cruel as the grave.
Many waters can not quench love, neither floods destroy it.
If a man offered all he had for love, it would be utterly scorned.
