Rain or shine, hot or cold, we take time to recount the good things God places in our lives with Susanne at Living to Tell the Story.

1. Valentine’s Day. For the last several years, Valentine’s Day has been a family-based day for us. I’m thankful our children still like to come for Valentine’s Day even though they are grown. I make “meat hearts” and chocolate heart-shaped cupcakes. We exchange cards. Jim gets Mittu and me flowers. He gets me a bag of my favorite Lindt Lindor Milk Chocolate Truffles.

2 Timothy’s Valentine’s to Jim and me.

3. Quick power restoration. We were watching the Olympics one evening when the power suddenly went out unexpectedly. There were no weather conditions that would have caused it. We quickly ascertained that the whole neighborhood was without power. Just about the time we got lanterns out and batteries changed and Jim had started the generator in the camper, power came back on. Someone said nearby construction caused the outage. I’m thanlful it didn’t last long.

4. Flatbread. We’ve been using these as a base for individual pizzas in the air fryer. Quick, convenient, and tasty!

5. Nice temperatures. We’ve had a nice respite from the cold this week, with moderate temperatures in the forecast. We were supposed to get up to 70 one day! But winter isn’t over yet, and we’ll be in the 20s again next week.

How was your week?
