As for my family, I’m preparing healthier meals and trying to make time and room for more relaxing meals so we have more “quality” time. This weekend I’m preparing a special Valentine’s Breakfast in Bed for hubby and then a picnic on the beach with dinner later at his favorite seafood restaurant, the Sea Chest on Friday night. We don’t go out on Valentine’s Day – too busy, too commercial and way too expensive. We always pick a day right around it and call it our own.

Many of you will remember that I’m still in transition until my house sells. We’re staying at the family lake house which in reality is 3 houses. So for others, I’m doing the minor repairs, drain clean outs, spring cleaning, yard clean-up, etc… around those places starting to get ready for the big family Memorial Day blowout.
We’re remote and too far from town right now, but as we get more settled I want to start volunteering for a local food bank and do some habitat for humanity work in a neighboring community.
