Hearts

Here are all my Valentine hearts...

My first and favorite piece of art...




My birthday card from Debbie had another version of my painting...I framed it-I LOVE IT!
Debbie also got me this super cute necklace with another one of the artists heart paintings.

I love the heartist (that is what she calls herself - a little cheesy (but I like it)), Debbie Marie Arambula

What the Pho?



The rainy, cold weather (and the fact I am not allowed to use the heater in my own house because the bill was too high (according to Keith)) Keith and I have been on a ramen and pho binge.  We found a new tiny place, in an out of the way shopping center, that serves up some of this yummy warm soup.  So, on Monday we decided we would try and make this delicious meal.  We gathered all the ingredients, which I might add, are not all that appetizing and headed home.

The recpie called for a good amount of prep and 6 hours of a simmering broth.  So, I went to it last night and started the process.  The broth turned out yummy!  Today we will add the meat, noodles and maybe some egg (my new favorite) mushrooms and green onions.  The recpe is long and the following link has great pictures, so I am going to direct you the experts.

Have PHOn!

Ridiculous or Hilarious?
My husband may be seen on the next post on peopleofwalmart.com.
Keith and Brian went duck hunting, and this was the gear. Can you see him?

I love picture Christmas cards.  Last year I decided to start saving my picture Christmas cards in a scrapbook.  Nothing fancy, I just write the year and glue them in.  It  was fun this year to see how much kids grew and how families expanded.  It also makes a great coffee table book.
