From Cozette Bolshaw ... I cut out the pics so the message could go through. Still having issues with the server's site.  Pat       



I just realized I forgot to respond to the program this month and here we are almost half through the month.   Looking forward to President's day (day off for me), Super bowl Sunday was not as important this year to me.   Several of my dear friends have birthday this month so I have enjoyed those celebrations.   Valentines is so pretty to me during a "doldrums" time in Idaho, our January/February weather is typically very gloomy so the pretty reds, pinks and white of Valentines are certainly a pick me up.  It is actually snowing while I write this email, so indeed a gloomy overcast day.

I always depend on after Valentines we are on the quick slide to SPRING!!!  and look forward to things popping out of the ground and trees budding!

Subject: [OLG] FEBRUARY PROGRAM

  FEBRUARY FAVORITES
There is quite a bit going on in February and you probably all have different thoughts on what your favorite holiday or special day to celebrate is, such as Ground Hog Day, Presidents' Day, Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Chinese New Year, Super Bowl Sunday--or maybe it's your birthday, anniversary or something else that is your favorite February "special day".   Love of anything is always good no matter what so please share your favorite February Favorite!!  Enjoy sharing your "love" of February with us and remember, the month is short so don't wait too long!  WE love hearing from you.

I will start off with my favorite February happening and that is my love of Valentine's Day--one, because I think red roses are gorgeous, I love pink anything (especially flamingos) which to me is also a Valentine color;  secondly, I have always loved the vintage Valentines with slushy sentiments and the adorable cupids and children; third, I must be a romantic at heart and can remember how much fun it was being selected as Valentine Queen/Sweetheart, both in first grade and again in sorority a few times over the years. . . it's always fun to be Queen!!  I love getting and sending Valentines, love love love chocolate and anything lacy, Victorian and romantic.  One year I even left my large Christmas tree up and decorated it with all Valentine ornaments, cards and flowers and last year I left my red ornaments on it for our sorority chapter meeting in February.   Happy Valentine's Day to you all!
