Farewell To February!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

                                Don't you just love the Victorian wallpaper, darlings?????????????????

                                 The shortest month of the year has ticked away.  Today is my sister's birthday; she is now 86!!!!!!!!!!!!  Hope we all make it!  Shelley Plimpton's birthday was yesterday, my nephew Matthew on the 24th, my friend Joe on the 17th, our friend Ellen on the 6th (to be celebrated shortly) and my friend Tom's partner Austin on the 9th.

                                 The highlight of the month was The Heights Players superbly executed production of Sondheim's "Merrily We Roll Along," which we saw with our friends Dan and Norma.

                                   And we also saw Uncle Ernest!!!!!!!!!!!!  He is going to make the century mark, now that he is 95.

                                 Most important of all, the 11th was the 158th anniversary of the Apparition Of Our Lady Of Lourdes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

                                    Two things took up the rest of the month--winter storms and my rereading "Anna Karenina."  I have 60 some pages to go, so I am coming down the home stretch.  No, Anna has not taken that dive yet, but she is making the decision.

                                         Hope all your decisions went well this month, and that you will be the right ones in March.

                                           Soon, we will thaw out, darlings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
