Bless Your Heart

Last night J brought home some shrimp for shrimp cocktail, huge strawberries, and Making Whoopie Pie ice cream. He’s so cute, he didn’t know whoopie pies are a cookie, he just thought Ben and Jerry had gotten a little cheeky for Valentine’s day. :) I’ll have to make him some real whoopie pies now. Jenny posted a recipe a little while ago over at LJC. I made some whip cream with my mixer to enjoy with the strawberries- nothing better than home made whip cream. So we enjoyed all of our Valentine treats while watching Iron Chef. Ah, nothing’s more romantic than an over the top, dubbed cooking show!

Just as we were about to turn in I noticed some flashing lights. I thought maybe someone had been pulled over in front of our house or something. I went to the window and saw an ambulance and fire truck pulled up at my neighbor’s house! We were glued to the window for the next half hour, worried sick about Jackie and Calvin, our neighbors. We didn’t feel it was appropriate to go over there last night, it was after 11pm, but I’ll stop by today and check on them. They’re just the best neighbors ever. They’re an older couple, with grown children. They were the original owners of our house in 1961. Once they had a couple of children they moved next door. Calvin was the one they took away in the ambulance, but he was sitting up so that was a good sign. Hopefully, it’s not too serious.
