We hope everyone had a happy Valentine's Day. We celebrated in typical fashion with a nice compound dinner at our house. We made reubens, sweet potato fries, and coleslaw. Millie made some tasty cookies and Tom and Katy brought some sparkling pomegranate juice. Yes, we were joined by Tom and Katy who are here for a few days from Shanghai. They return Thursday, but it has been nice to see them again. John Woolf also ate with us because, as some of you may know, Jeannette had a stroke about a month ago and is recuperating at a care center in Orem.
Yesterday the family gathered here for Sunday dinner. We celebrated Meagan's birthday one day late and, as per her request, I made bread pudding and Bird's Custard.
Last week we finally got inspired and had the B.F. Larsen painting in the family room reframed. The black frame looks quite snappy and works well with the other black bits in the room.
Lovely spring-like weather: 55 degrees today

You do know how to celebrate. Love the pic of Timp!
I like the new frame. How is Jeanette doing, by the way?
Oh that picture of Timp is making me homesick for Utah. I never thought I would say that. I'm anxious for March!
Love the new frame! looks like a fab holiday. So sorry to hear about Jeanette! How is she doing?
Anna and Maren: Jeanette is improving, but still has miles to go to learn to walk and use her left side again. It will take a long time.

Oh wow. That frame is FANTASTIC! I will be calling to get some details about it since you didn't tell me about the new frame you naughty boy. Happy Valentimes Day, I wish we could have eaten our traditional chocolate covered butter, but there's always next year. How fun to have Tom and Katy back for a few days!
Sounds like a good night all around... and I might need your bread pudding recipe, it looks delishious! I have always loved that painting, it looks even better now.
