Hubby and I had no plans to go anywhere in January, February or March. Sort of the calm before the storm and a good time for projects. The best laid plans and all that...
January turned into a fun and busy month. Our friends, Jeremy and Rene' youngest daughter got married and we went to Winlock, WA for a weekend. If you ever need a wedding within three weeks, call Jeremy and Rene' for tips. They emptied a barn, made it beautiful, created guest housing, and cooked and baked for 60. It was so pretty and the food was delicious. We had a good time with them and with their kids.
The next weekend we went to Enumclaw, I had a Sisters on the Fly luncheon and we got time at Larry and Shelly's house. I don't know how Shelly did it but she had a full house for lunch, house guests and then her and Larry made dinner for eight. It's so good to see our camping peeps in the winter.
The next weekend my brother, Ken and Carolyn got married. It was a beautiful wedding, Carolyn wore my Mom's going away wool suit. It was in Lynden and that was good since our crawl space flooded and we needed to take care of that issue. Actually, Hubby and Max took care of it, who are we kidding.
A few of our guys and their girls came home for the wedding. We love having them around and Max and Kassie brought Bo. We love their dog and hadn't seen him for a long time. He's such a good dog!

I've been painting a small cabinet for silverware storage. Why do projects look like they will take me two hours and end up taking days? And days. Ugh! I'm close and my Annie Sloan Chalk Paint expert is chiming in to get me to the finish line. I'll share the finished picture in February or when it gets finished. June?
Hubby and I are hitting the oranges hard. I had a sinus infection in January and it has settled in my ears. Does anyone else take elderberry syrup and chews? I have been but how does anyone know if anything really works? Would it be worse?
I stacked coupons on Loft and bought a soft jacket for under $12. The soft, yummy, lounge wear jacket is fantastic to wear with pj pants and a tank. Sizes are disappearing so hurry! And the coupons aren't as good now but keep watching and stack'em!
Y'all know I love snow and Tuesday the snow fell straight down. I had the day off and it was the stuff that winter dreams are made of. Yes, I just ended a sentence with a preposition.
I'm reading The Bookish Life of Nina Hill. It's an easy, fun read and that's just what I needed.
Love Week is coming up and I am putting together a few special Valentines.
I'm dreaming of summer, camping, the rivers, the sunshine. Until then I am making some changes in the living room and plan to deep clean the laundry room. Working now so I can play all summer!
This concludes January. It turned into a jam packed month with weddings, weekends away and weather events. Now for some February projects and Love Week. Enjoy!
