valentines day <3

sending love..... hope everyone had a terrific day!!

missing the glendale chocolate affair today... i love going there to celebrate chocolate on valentines day.. this year it was cold.. ( really cold ) & couple inches of new snow from overnight ..
so i decided i was going to make my favorite thing from the chocolate affair... the chocolate covered strawberries... ooooo yummo!!

so i gathered the chocolate..drove around to find big juicy red strawberries & i did it.. i made them ....
were they good ???
actually awesome!!
did it make me not miss arizona so much ???
.... well not so much still miss it ...
hoping it will warm up & things will be better here...

it has been busy so i haven't wrote much...we still have 2 houses here in mn & it really is a drag.. we are finishing off the basement in the other house to hopefully recoup a little money... maybe 3 times will be the charm & a buyers financing will actually go through!
keep your fingers crossed!!

sir herbie had his first birthday last month..
he was so funny... his brother sammy sent him treats along with & this funny musical birthday cake .... the dooof LOOOOOVES this cake...... check him out ...
i hear the music playing at random times throughout the day ...
big thank you to sammie & his ma chef lisa the soup goddess....... we love you guys!!

a big happy birthday to sammy & pete from herbie!!
