The sun is out and life is good



It's a gorgeous day outside - the kind of day that says "come on out and play," and I think I will do just that a little later when it gets just a little warmer.



We had a fun Valentines Day - Jim, Kathy, and I went to lunch at Gold Chopsticks, and then off to do a little shopping. We ended up just buying some essentials - nothing especially fun. Jim and I went to dinner at The Point with Leroy and Rose. We always enjoy them and the food at The Point is generally good. The view overlooking the Sacramento River is really pretty at night.

Today Kathy goes back to the dentist for a recheck, and if all is well, then on home to Modesto. She's doing quite well with the dentures, but they will need a little adjustment, as will she in getting accustomed to wearing them. Already she's talking a lot better and getting better control of them.

Haven't heard from Jessica and David. I hope they were able to get out of New Hampshire. What horrible timing for a snow storm to come through - can you imagine, getting snow shoes for Christmas, and having no snow, and then hours before you're about to leave town for Hawaii, a darned blizzard descends! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for them - They've had subzero weather for weeks and could use some serious thawing out.

I think I'll go with Jim and Kathy to the dentist follow-up appointment today. If we take her home to Modesto, I would like to go to my favorite nursery there - Hischier's - it's one of the best nurseries I've found and one of the things I did enjoy about Modesto. I want to get some petunias and marigolds and get them started early. They'll flower until fall if we keep trimming them back a little. I want to get our hanging baskets planted as well. Can you tell I get spring fever bad! A little ray of sun and I go nuts. I feel like I'm crawling out of winter hibernation. I know we'll have some rainey, cold days, but more and more now, we'll have sun. I can't wait to use our new patio room.

Next rainey day I have to start doing our taxes, but not today. :>)

Love to all,
Corrie and Jim
