Valentine's Day

Kitty's friend had a spectacular idea to create a socially-distanced Valentine's Day exchange this year.  Although I shudder at the name of the event, it turned out to be loads of fun for Kitty.  We made a collection box to put on our porch and then Kitty's friends could stop by and fill-er-up.  Kitty worked hard on her box and I think it turned out beautifully.

The next task was to wait for her friends to stop by.  It was so exciting every time she looked inside her little box and found a Valentine waiting for her.  We also had fun delivering our own Valentines to friends.  Kitty was so excited about being stealthy that I had to keep telling her to wait until the car was completely stopped before jumping out to run to the porch.  She likes to live dangerously.

Kitty also was able to get Valentines from her classmates.  Each student delivered Valentines to the school and then the teachers divvied them up among the class.  Talk about a haul!  So much sugar for one little kitty.  

And then!  And then!  February 14th arrived, the actual day of the Valentines.  Kitty again scored with bath bombs and mermaid glass bracelets.  (The bath bombs ended up being extraordinarily stinky.  Like bathing-in-grandma's-perfume stinky.  I won't get that kind again.  Pee-yew!)

Kitty made lovely cards for us.  My heart was happy.

Michael was stranded in eastern Oregon due to a vicious winter storm.  Would he or wouldn't he get home before Valentine's Day was over?  Bum, bum, bum.

I'll tell you next time.
