I received the 8×8 album that I printed for my aunt’s and uncle’s 50th anniversary, as well as the printed DVD. They look are great. Here’s what they look like:

It's February and we celebrate Valentine's Day/Chinese New Year (the year of the Tiger) on the 14th. It's onward and upward towards Spring and Easter. We are looking forward to new growth as the weather warms up here too! Have a wonder filled day.

Five little monkeys, climbing in a tree—and none fell out—you know that don’t you?


Painted faces are fun–especially one with a butterfly on it!
Bruce Springsteen’s song,”Working on a Dream,” says it all. I hope you, too, are working on a dream. Go for it and don’t give up!
Out here the nights are long, the days are lonely
I think of you and i’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
Now the cards i’ve drawn’s a rough hand, darling
I straighten the back and i’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
Come on!
I’m working on a dream
Though sometimes it feels so far away
I’m working on a dream
And i know it will be mine someday
Rain pourin’ down, i swing my hammer
My hands are rough from working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
Let’s go!
I’m working on a dream
Though trouble can feel like it’s here to stay
I’m working on a dream
Well our love will chase trouble away
Alright!
[whistling interlude]
That’s professional whistling right there!
I’m working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday
The sun rise up, i climb the ladder
The new day breaks and i’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
I’m working on a dream
Hey!
I’m working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream
Our love will make it real someday
I’m working on a dream
Though it can feel so far away
I’m working on a dream
And our love will make it real someday
