Valentine Evening

Nicholas and I attempted to make Chocolate Covered Strawberries today... but the chocolate would not melt right... it said melt for 30 seconds and then stir... it also said, melt for another two minutes but stir every 30 seconds and it just would not work... stayed clumpy and finally started to burn.... so we did not make them but we did get to eat the Strawberries... Maybe God was telling us we did not need the Chocolate... oh well, I thought it would be fun being Valentine's Day and all.



My parents came over this evening and had dinner. I made Yummy Taco Soup and cornbread muffins.... it was delish! My nephew brought over his girlfriend and they had dinner with us as well.

By the way, Carlos is fishing this weekend and on his way home from the coast this evening. He caught about 7 Red Snapper among other fish... so I smell a fish fry coming on...

Billy is good at making those covered strawberries. Me on the other hand can never get them to come out right.

Sounds like a wonderful day! I love taco soup too.
The photos are adorable and your son sure looks like his grandpa.
TFS!
