Valentines Day hearts

I know it's a little late to be making my valentines' post but I have been very busy.  I thought about just skipping it and talking about something else but I really want to share two things with you.  One is the heart shaped pizza I made for my boys for valentines' dinner!!

That's my youngest pointing out a big crust bubble.  I was so happy with how it came out!!!  My boys were pretty impressed too.  So now do you see why I just had to share this picture with you?  Even if it is four days late.  Now the second thing I want to share is  the day before valentines day I finally saw a movie that I have been wanting to see for quite a few months.  The Help!!!!!  My girlfriend and I both read the book and we were going to go see the movie when it was out in the theater, but we never got the chance.  Then my middle son gave me the dvd for Christmas.  It has taken my girlfriend and I this long to have a day free together so we could watch the movie.  She came over to my house and we had a nice lunch together then we settled in the family room and got comfy and enjoyed the movie.  We both liked it.  We were glad however that we read the book because some parts of the movie moved so fast and were confusing.  But overall we enjoyed it and had a wonderful time.  Lunch with a good friend and a good movie is a very good way to spend a day off!
I would like to leave you with an adorable picture of kitty Zelda.

 She truly knows how to live in the moment!!!!!!!!!!
 I have one more picture for you it's of my equally adorable dog Charlie.

This picture was actually taken yesterday for some reason I can't ever figure out how to set the date on my camera.  I know don't laugh I'm a little electronically inept.  My youngest always has to help me whenever I want to put a picture in my post!!  Oh well I will eventually learn!  Talk to you soon.  Enjoy your weekend!                                                    

Owls! Owls! Owls!

 As the title implies I want to share something about owls.  I LOVE them!!!!  I always have ever since I was little.  They are so beautiful with their gorgeous expressive eyes.  I started collecting all things owls when I was about nine years old.  Like anything that you like and collect once you let people know you will get that item in every shape, form and creation imaginable.  Which by the way is fine by me.  I have received owl knickknacks, stuffed animals, candles, windchimes, christmas ornaments, jewelry, and even a lamp.  I love each and every one of them.  I have also gathered a few at garage sales.  I thought you might enjoy a glimpse at some of my collection so I gathered them from around my house and took a picture for you.

The two tiny ones in the front started my collection.  They were given to me on my birthday by my mom.  Over the years as my collection has grown they have remained my favorite ones.  Even more so now.  I think of her every time I look at them.  She also gave me the stuffed owl to the right one year for Christmas.  The brown salt and pepper shakers in the front were hers.  She kindly gave them to me when I got my first house.  She was a wonderful mom.  I have so many wonderful memories.  

These two bright blue beauties are one of my garage sale finds.  They are candle holders!  Aren't they adorable.  Maybe you have to be a true owl lover to truly appreciate them.  Well I hope you enjoyed a glimpse into one of my favorite collections.  I would love for you to share your collections with me!!!!
Until next time OWL be seeing you!!  I know corny but I couldn't resist!
