Well, it’s FINALLY the first day of March!  It’s normally January that drags on, but this year it was February.  I think because of the almost full week of freezing temps here in Texas.  Although it seemed to last longer than usual and was W-A-Y colder than recent past years, February had some great moments.  Here are my February Favorites!

This is the second time I’ve participated in a blog hop!  The first time we were doing soup/stew/chili recipes.  You can see the sausage minestrone soup recipe I shared then by clicking here.  I want to thank Leslie from Onceuponatimehappilyeverafter.com for once again hosting the link-up!

The second Wednesday of the month is the day I link up with Erika and Shay for their Let’s Look series.  Let me tell you, this one through me for a loop!  Hence the question marks on the graphic above.  I had no idea what they meant by “Love Language”, so I did what we all do when we want information…I Googled it.  And dang!  Guess I’ve been living under a rock!

How is it that we’re already beginning the SECOND week of February?  I remember at the beginning of January feeling like I just knew the month was going to c-r-a-w-l.  But guess what…it didn’t!  And now February is flying by even faster.  I also remember feeling like January was going to be hum-drum, and I would have no favorites at the end of the month.  Wrong again!

Wow!  Today is the last day of January!  Sometime during January, I wanted to do this post to catch up my reading log for 2020.  Staying true to the procrastinating side of my personality, here I am doing it on the very last day of the month.  Tsk, tsk, tsk!  In 2020 I only did two of my quarterly book talk posts.  After that I finished reading 16 more books.  So for the sake of brevity, I will post the titles and covers without much commentary.  If you’re interested in knowing more, you can click on the title, and it will take you to the Amazon page where you can read their description of the book.

It’s the first Let’s Look post of 2021, and it’s a fun one!  We’re checking out each other’s coffee bars this month!  A big thank you to Erika and Shay for hosting this link up again this year!

A few years ago, when we remodeled our kitchen/dining area, there was one wall in our dining spot that was taken up by upper and lower built-ins.  We had these removed, and it left the perfect space for a coffee bar. Read more

 

My siblings and I lost our brother Frank this past November.  Like so many families who have lost loved ones during this pandemic , we have not yet been able to gather and pay proper respects to his passing.  When conditions are more favorable and the restriction on the number of attendees is lifted, there will be an inurnment at the Cape Canaveral National Cemetery.  Meanwhile, it feels strange not to honor his life in some way, so I’m using this post just to highlight a few memories that I have of my brother Frank.

Having a whole new year stretched out ahead of me has inspired me to make a few resolutions!  Some years I make only one resolution, and some years I make none.  This year I feel the need.  They’re nothing earth-shattering, but they are goals that I think will improve my daily life. Read more

It has happened!  We made it to 2021, and 2020 is now history.  Although it was a trying year in so many ways, there were still many things for which to be thankful.  For me, my favorite times from the last month of 2020 are part of those things.  December was pretty uneventful for me until Christmas week.
