February 14th, 2026: Happy Valentine's Day! It's snowing again, Jimmie Applegate not happy, Kerri's report, sun comes out, we head for town. 50 elk, LaCasita, Wlmrt, China Buffet, HMM "Because of Cupid"


It's snowing again. I gave James a Valentine's card. He read it while he was eating breakfast and gave me a big hug afterwards. 

James's card in the middle.

Later James wrote me a letter and gave me a $50 Amazon card.


James went to see Jimmie Applegate this morning who said he didn't have time to talk on the phone. He was going to work on the house building site. He was not happy. He said the workers left trash and didn't do the job. James gave him an invoice of the wages he had paid and money James had earned. Jimmie sat it down on the jobsite so when James left he took it to the home where they live, next to the building site and gave it to Tamara, Jimmie's wife.

Jimmie wants all work to stop on the house until James gets the bid in and he can get financing from the bank.

Kerri gave a report on her mom today. She said that when she is released from the hospital she will go in to hospice. I said that I was relieved that she wouldn't be going back to Brooksdale. Kerri said: "Yes, that place crushed her spirit after she went in to memory care."

James split more wood and brought it down to the porch. I cleaned off the backporch.

The sun came out and we headed to town for our Valentine date. 
We stopped at the Vernon post office and got a overload notice with no one working today to give us our "overload" mail. We suppose that the "overload" is the deed Molly Quintana wants us to sign and return to her.

We had lunch at LaCasita, James's choice. This time I ordered my enchilada with green sauce. James wanted to know if I liked it better than the red. I said it was good but I wasn't sure if it was better.

Next we went to Walmart to do a little shopping. We got steak and salad for tomorrow's lunch. We bought a large bag of catfood and James got some new shoes. The nice thing is, James and I shopped together. On the way home we stopped and got some hot and sour soup at China Buffet for our dinner.

On our trip home we listened to "Miss Leslie's Secret." James remembers the story from when we read it before. Here is a quote from the book: "The drone bees don't contribute, they just lull about all day, eatin." Interesting.

I made a $35 donation to Ruby's track team, the minimum amount they would allow me to make. 

This evening we watched the latest "Loveuary" movie from Hallmark: "Because of Cupid." James and I both enjoyed it.

"Forgiveness is a divine gift offered through the grace of Jesus Christ."

Moses 8:24
Believe and repent of your sins and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, even as our fathers, and ye shall receive the Holy Ghost, that ye may have all things made manifest; and if ye do not this, the floods will come in upon you; nevertheless they hearkened not.
