Hello Everyone, yes it is me. The
absent blogger--I must apologize
again. Just WAY too much to keep
up with right now.
The journey jar is being filled again
this month as best we can.
If anyone is out there, let's catch up.
I want to say a BIG THANK
YOU to Leslie at Dandelion Sprinkles
and her creative Valentine's elves for
helping out with the Valentine Card
Shower this year.
They did an AWESOME job!! Combined
with my cards we had over 70 cards that
were sent to Children's Mercy Hospital
in Kansas City Mo.
All the cards were packed and ready to
be sent to hopefully brighten a few kids
day.
Sunday was the day we celebrated. We
enjoyed a nice brunch in the late morn-
ing and then went to the Old Red Bridge
to check on our lock.
If you remember from last year, Mr. Ken
and I took a lock out to the bridge and
locked our love there. It is tradition that
couples do on Valentine's Day.
Off we go to look for our lock. I must con-
fess, I was getting a little nervous because
we weren't finding it but then we did.
Whew!!
There is it right in the middle of the
two silver ones. The writing has faded
but we could make out what we had
put on it in 2016. (We checked our pic
from last year) Some people add a new
lock each year so next year we are add-
ing locks for both our Moms.
A little look at our Valentine décor.
Hope everyone had a SPECTACULAR
Valentine's Day!!

Update on Mr. Ken
He is doing GREAT! Doctor appointments
are fewer and far between now, which is
nice. He isn't missing so much work now.
He still has a couple of procedures later
on down the line but right now things are
moving right along.
Thanks for hanging with me!!
~Keep on Dreaming~
Happy February to all. I am
certainly glad to see a fresh
new month! Hope there are
a few of you out there and
you haven't given up on me! :)
Super Bowl 51 is this Sunday,
anyone have big plans? Ours
will be low key this year. Not
a big fan of either team so it
is hard to get geared up for it.
but we will still have some good
eats, watch the game and the
commercials plus try and catch
part of the Puppy Bowl too.
Valentine's Day is on the way Mr.
Ken and I combine the holiday
with the next day because we still
celebrate the anniversary of our
first date. This year will be 19 years!
We have plans for brunch the Sunday
before.
Speaking of Valentine's Day, it is time
for the annual Valentine Card Shower.
If you would like to join me in making
some cards for the kids at Children's
Mercy Hospital here in town, please
let me know. The cards above were
made last year. I will need them by
NEXT FRIDAY--February 10th.
If you have questions, let me know.
This is a fun activity for scouts and
other groups too.
We have continued to have some
spectacular sunsets. This was
taken in late January. So pretty.
I did not pick a "word" for this year.
Partly because I couldn't decide on
one and then life jumped in. So
I decided to do a "Journey Jar."
Each piece of paper has something
on it that happened each day. ie:
"It was 60 today and the sun came
out." The jar is emptied into a baggie
at the end the month and we start fresh
with the new month.
At the end of the year we will read each
slip of paper to see what we did in 2017.
GROUNDHOG DAY is tomorrow --Will
he see his shadow???
Update:
Mr. Ken is doing great, progress is made
eachday. Work keeps him busy too.
He has a couple of big things coming up
so the continued prayers would help.
We would like the thank EVERYONE
for those prayers and good thoughts,
they are very much appreciated.
For those of you who are continuing to
hang with me and my erratic posting --
THANK YOU! I had so many things that
I wanted to do with Dreaming and I still
will but it may take a bit. We can't always
plan what comes down the road so I do
appreciate ALL of YOU!!
Keep on hanging with me.
~Keep on Dreaming~
