Monday

Valentine's Day was spent with my mom. She invited all of us over for some baked lasagna and cake as we have 2 February birthdays in the family. It was a nice afternoon and I know my mom enjoyed the company.

I am on vacation this week. I needed the break so badly and I am so thankful to have it. I have the retiree husband home as well. We plan to do a few projects around the house and then take off for a couple of days. I am looking forward to it, even though it will be someplace not too fancy and not too far. Just a change of scenery is what I need.

One of the things I enjoy doing is coloring in a Mandala coloring book I have. I saw the book on Ruth's blog last year and promptly ordered one for myself. It is a relaxing and calming activity and brings back memories of when I was a kid and enjoyed coloring books. I love the colors and the feel of the pencils on the paper. I got through last winter coloring quite a few of them and remembered how much I liked doing so, and I brought it out again last night.

More snow is predicted for tomorrow, but not too much. We shall see, last time they weathermen all got it wrong.
