Valentine Special

For Valentines Day I decided to do something very different, cook at home.
As an empty next family we tend to eat out way too often. I overheard my husband tell someone a few weeks ago that his favorite meal was meatloaf, scalloped potatoes and cherry pie. SO....

Mmmmm it was so good with vanilla ice cream!

Who says meatloaf and potatoes have to be boring?

I cut out the letters Love with cookie cutters then covered them with pepper so they would show up.

I love the opportunity to use myVINTAGE white tablecloth from Italy. I is now 30 years old so I don't use it often! My hubby insisted on a picture of me at the table. He is so sweet! Then HE did the dishes.

He truly is one of the best men in the world.

I am so blessed to have him in my life, 40 years now and still in love!
Doesn't he have the most amazing smile!

Of course I couldn't forget the Grand kids and our grown children.

these went out in the mail with lots of love.

Linking with Redensday, White Wednesday, and Vintage Thingy Thursday

Blessings, Debbie

made with love wreath

For Christmas I received this beautiful wreath made by my daughter. I have it hanging on our front door now that I have taken all the winter decorations down. I am READY for spring, even though it has been an easy winter compared to some.

Love all the handmade flowers. So much love went into this!

Thanks for stopping by and visiting.

Linking up today with Blue Monday and Brag Monday make.

Hope you will visit again.

Super INDY

Super Bowl Sunday has come and gone

for another year.

INDIANA -- The verdict is in: Indianapolis put on what was perhaps the most universally praised performance in the history of Super Bowl host cities. WRTV Indianapolis‎

Congratulations

to New York Giants, at least one of the

Manning family got to play in our dome for the Super Bowl!

Living just a short drive from the city I wanted to go into town SOOOO bad BUT...

unfortunately my left foot is in a cast for the next 6 to 8 weeks and I'm not supposed to walk on it...
A bone spur tore the bursa

What is a bursa?

Every person has hundreds of bursa scattered throughout the body. The function of a bursa is to decrease friction between two surfaces that move in different directions.

The bursa can be thought of as a Ziplock bag with a small amount of oil and no air inside. Imagine rubbing this bag between your hands; movement of your hands would be smooth and effortless. That is what a bursa functions as--a smooth, slippery surface between two moving objects.

I really hope it heals quickly because we are going to Europe for 11 days in March!
So I copied some pictures from Google.
Hopefully I didn't get any that had a copy write.

Our beautiful stadium

One of the new hotels that went up in the last 3 years with the super bowl in mind. We have a wonderful city with a large conference center so I know this will stay busy.

The zip line that was the largest in the US

I heard the waiting line was several hours!

This beautiful memorial is worth coming to town if you are close.

Another banner on one of the buildings downtown.
One of the praises was that everything was within walking distance
of the stadium and many of the hotels.

We spent the evening with wonderful friends watching the game and eating way too much. Such a great game! One of our friends brought a door prize given away during half time and my husband won!!! So my honey took home the game ball!
