We had a wonderful weekend! Full of rest.

I cut into that cheese. It is one of the best cheeses I have ever made, I believe it has more flavor too. I am so glad Bessie loves the home made cheese...as long as it is made with cows milk I am ok...she does not like anything made with goats milk.

I was able to hang curtains & valances in our bedroom, a shear curtain in the front entry that is fitted at the top & bottom of the glass for the double glass door, also I took another shear curtain & cut it in half, ironed & hemmed it for my garden door that closes off the kitchen from the rest of the house...it is ready to hang, I started ripping seams on my lace curtains(what a job that is...I will be praying as I am ripping the seams or I would be cussing....you can not see lace from seams) all this I did  Saturday afternoon.

Larry & I together cleaned out his pickup that will be going to town to have the tranny worked on. Larry started unbolting the cab as you can not drop the tranny with normal tools...so he bolted the cab back on the little pickup. It is ready to be towed to town. I am really excited about having a car to drive. It has been a year since I had a car I could drive off our place! We live about an hour from town & it will be so nice to be free!!!! even though I did not choose to leave only but once every couple weeks....

Tuesday is always laundry day. Today I will be doing laundry. It is so rewarding to do laundry. I am thankful for my clothes that are clean & doing the laundry, washing, hanging them on the line & taking the dry clothes off the line, I remember when we wore them & the fun times we had. It is a sweet time.

I am continuing to spring clean...still in my room...after today I should be able to move on to another room...to spring clean.

Fun thing to share....we are getting ready for a baby shower. If we don't end up having the baby shower...my neighbor & I have planned on a heifer shower for my heifer that will calve in April. After that shower we will have a heifer shower for a neighbor that just got her very first milk cow. I love life....dreaming of happy times to come.

Bessie made Chocolate Mousse completely from scratch. I am going to be making Spaghetti & meat balls for dinner. I can hardly wait...we hardly ever have spaghetti & we will have Chocolate Mouse for dessert.

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

I am making a Valentine cake. It is a white butter cake...the recipe is from King Arthur Flour company.  It is for two reasons...one for Valentine's Day...the other is for a practice cake for a future shower we are going to be having. I am also making bon bons, Chocolate covered cherries & a few sugar cookies.
