Greetings All  - I spotted a BIG Opossum outside my kitchen window yesterday morning raiding the catfood bowl. Are Opossums supposed to come out during the day?  I don't really recall seeing one during the day. Anyway, it ate (cleaned the entire bowl) and waddled off to wherever.  It was pretty darn cute. I didn't snap a picture to share because I didn't want to open the screen door and startle it away. Being Easter - I told myself that it had scored its kind of Easter eggs on this particular Sunday morning hunt - ha (!!) - and let it be undisturbed. Collected these 12 pieces of fun + interesting + recipes for today. Click away and enjoy!

Greetings Monday.  Hello happy people. Well, tomorrow's Valentine's Day.  Do you have a favorite Valentine's memory from when you were a kid? I fondly recall what a blast it was to take an empty shoe box to school -- the teacher setting aside time for several days in a row when we got a break from chalkboard teaching -- and were set free to create and decorate our cool personalized Valentine's Day boxes. Remember?   The little mailbox sort of thing where classmates slipped a little card in - on the day. Bonus!  The party.  Moms brought in sweet treats:  cupcakes, punch, little sandwiches, candy. Good times! Happy Valentine's Day (!) Scooped up these wonderful 12 for today.  Click and enjoy the entertainment. Dear Annie's sage thoughts to a Reader's statement. So thrilled that you're here.
