February Is A Special Month

 AJ, AZ   We had a couple of weeks of cold weather the end of January but February has been beautiful temperature wise. Highs in the 70s and lows in the 40s or 50s. The only problem is we have had no rain for months. They are saying we could have rain next Friday so I am really praying for that but we don't get excited about it until it actually happens.

I haven't been doing much except enjoying the weather and visiting with all the snowbirds.  We ended our birthday cake kit and it was a fantastic success. We had an assembly line going in the clubhouse to put the kits together and wrap them in saran wrap. I delivered 44 kits to the food bank and they were overjoyed to get them. 

 

For the month of February, we are doing something a little different. We are donating disinfectant wipes to a grade school in Mesa that put out a plea for help since there is all kinds of crud going around. You know that kids are germ magnets and school budgets are not there for those items. 

February has a couple of very special days for me. On the 3rd Elias turned 2 years old. I sure miss him but Todd sent lots of pictures and videos.  Michaela made a really neat hot wheels cake for him and also found the rocking motorcycle. She did a lot of work to clean it up and get it painted for him. 

 

Then on February 7 I went to the temple and attended two endowment sessions to celebrate my love for Jim. Being able to sit quietly in the celestial room I knew he was there with me and that he was learning and growing in the gospel even as I am so we can spend eternity together. He's been gone for three years. Sometimes it feels like yesterday and at others, it seem like so long ago. The rest of the day was spent quietly remembering my love and all my wonderful memories.

 

 

The "Girls" and I have another trip planned so look forward to a few posts with Pat and Marilyn. Speaking of the Girls - we had a movie night at Tacey's (Pat's granddaughter) house. We watched 80 for Brady. A fun romp that we could relate to. I fixed an apple crisp for a treat and I guess it turned out okay. They all took some home with them.

 The weather person is saying we will have rain this week. Hopefully not where we are going.
