Nice Valentine's Day

I went over to Jensen's to watch kids while Missy went into town and walked with Ranae.  We had breakfast cereal there and I read to them the book, Bruchau.  Then we came to our house and fixed donuts.  Anabel helped make meatballs and I worked all morning on making food.  Denny vacuumed and I fixed corn casserole, sliced potatoes and carrots to grill, marinated chops, cherry dessert, ramen noodles salad,   I got more potatoes to make party potatoes from Missy,  Denny swept out the garage.  Darn Keelie always poops in the garage.  It really makes it stink.  We picked up Danielle about 2:30. then to Laura's, then to Carroll.  After the show the pickup would not start.  Finally it turned over.  We shopped at Hyvee for Laura and then home.  It was almost too cold to grill, but it helped to put a full propane tank on.  It was nice visiting and laughing with them. We took the jeep to take them home.  Nice night.  The movie was sobering.   It brought close to home the sacrifices our service men and women make.    Mandy texted us a picture of Piper growing up right before our eyes.
