HOPE YOU HAD A TASTY VALENTINE'S DAY.

At first glance this looks edible, but it is really a glass box of hearts made of stone, wood, leather, and enamel.  Clutter collected over the years.

Here are some real chocolates gifted years ago. Good, but not See's.

The February meeting of Surfside Quilters Guild always  has lots of Valentine goodies on the refreshment table. 

These appared on my porch table this year.  From neighbors with no names!  Thank you!

I am feeling much better, still coughing, but no spasms today.  The four of our small group who were going to Phoenix for QuiltCon have canceled our trip.  Sickness, apprehension about viruses, and the death of a  husband.  It just wouldn't work. 

I do hope to be able to walk KoKo tomorrow.

Foods banned in US 07-05-19

Last week I posted about the Kinder Toy that I bought at Albertson's.  I was thinking it was the same as those that cannot be imported into the USA.  But I was mistaken.  I read this blurb from Facebook (or somewhere) and see that the problem with the Kinder Toy made in another country was that the toy was actually embedded in the candy.  Not so the one I bought - the candy was in one half of the egg shaped container and the toy in the other half.  Below is the URL where I read this.

There has been a lot of shaking going on in SCalifornia the last few days.  I felt the latest 7.2 quake this evening, another rolling version.  The location of the quake was about 130 miles to the north east of Placentia.   The experts predict more shakers to come.  Hope they aren't in the middle of the night - that is so disconcerting!
