Friday night...about midnight I walked through the livingroom and looked out the front window. I saw the most amazing picture. Our big tree in the front was covered with hoarfrost, the thickest, most beautiful frost I've ever seen. The street light in front of our house accented it's beauty. My first thought was, "man...I gotta get my camera and tripod and capture this moment. Then I remembered, my camera is in the "shop". Sigh... guess I'l have to wait till morning and get some shots in dayight with my little "point & shoot"
Saturday Morning
****
Rick and I enjoyed our Saturday together, chatting at Caribou in the morning, then running errands, and relaxing in the afternoon. Rick made me a yummy, omelette for supper and soon after our little Valentine came over so her mommy & daddy could go out on a date.
Audrey Joanne is our Joy... we played and played and giggled alot. She is such a fun baby!

Valentines day.... Today
~
Church in the morning, then the mall for lunch.
We came home and Rick & I hung our new (beautiful) picture above the sofa. We sat admiring our "newly" finished upstairs. We really feel like we have a new house, and we're so glad we took on this redecorating & fix-up project... the results are rewarding ! We love it !!!

Tonight, Rick took me to Victoria's for a wonderful dinner...
It was truly lovely, we were seated by a window, with a clear view of the snow falling outside. Those of you that know me, know that I was in my glory. Rick & I enjoyed the amazing loaves of Victoria's bread, and shared what Rochester voted as the "top italian meal" this year.... Mechi's chicken. Mmmm mmm good. If you have never tryed mechi's chicken, it's time you did .

After some great conversation & food we returned home to watch a movie on our new blue ray player which was playing on our brand new 47" widescreen TV. We watched Master & Commander with Russell Crowe, I kinda felt like I was at the theater :)
~~~
Did I mention we are also empty-nesting... Gavin traveled to Duluth to hang out with some buddies at UMD and do some down hill skiing at Spirit Mountain (lucky duck)
