February 14 to 22 was an unusual period of time in which we were the recipients of many kind gifts.
This arrived on Valentine’s Day.
Oh, how I love fresh fruit.
It was delivered by five of my favorite young people ~ Josh, Jana, Ian, Jared, and Jesse.
Jesse was pleased that he got to sign the envelope.
On the 16th we got donuts from my sister.
I share most food that arrives at our house, but I make sure the man cave guys know that these are not for their eating. 🙂
It is difficult to find a donut that is more delicious. The “square-ish” ones have raisins inside.
That evening Cerwin came home with fresh sugar cookies from Rachel.
My favorite Jordan was here on the 17th – just after a light snow – and shoveled the driveway for Grandpa.
We mailed the Highway News on the 18th.
Mary – one of the helpers – brought fauschnauts and sugar cookies.
Then one evening we were given two boxes of Girl Scout Cookies.
…and I forgot to take pictures of the homemade whoopee pie cake and cream cheese filled cupcakes.
Thank you everyone. We are feeling very blessed.
I’m glad that I didn’t give up sweets for Lent. 🙂
Did your sister make the donuts? I never heard of any with raisins inside. Sounds good.
She did. They are our mother’s recipe – and it is delicious.
My goodness — and I thought my friend and I had eaten our way through the Valentines/Presidents’ Day weekend!
Like I said. I am glad that I did not give up sweets for Lent. 🙂
What on earth are fauschnauts?
A donut without yeast – kind of a cake donut. It is a big deal around here on the day before Lent. I think people used to use up their old lard and oil for frying them before the beginning of Lent.
