The Grapevine: The Greatest Valentine's Day Gifts and Preparing for Lent
By Rosalyn Queen on February 16, 2017 from The Grapevine via Connect-Bridgeport.com
Valentine's Day comes and goes as do the many gifts and cards we receive. Valentine's Day is always a special day for me. Fifty-one years ago I received a great Valentines gift with the birth of my twin daughters, Lisa and Leslie. Not many of us get gifts that last a lifetime.
So my wish for you on this Valentine’s Day that you allow those special little some ones find a place in your heart that will last a lifetime. Happy Valentine’s Day and Happy Birthday to Leslie and Lisa.
This past week Dave and I bid a final farewell to our friend, Arnet Burnside. We will surely miss him as I know his many friends will. Our sympathy to his family on his passing.
I want to remind you that Lent will soon be here and this always a good time you to renew your faith in ourselves and for others. Give some thought as to what you might do for yourself and for others. This is always a good time to enjoy those meatless meals and with a little planning you can prepare some great meals for you and your family.
You can always rely on the egg. Keep them boiled in the refrigerator for a quick sandwich or as a compliment to your salad.
I want you to keep me posted if anyone of you got the anise seed. I know it will not be ready for this Easter bread season, but maybe next year.
