February Decorations

I intended to put up Valentine's Day decorations on February 1st, but as you know, I had the plague.  I had hoped that Friday was rock bottom, but wouldn't you know that Saturday would roll around and prove that wasn't the case.  Ugh!  I'm still sick, but not as bad.  I'm no longer medicating myself with the thought of "oh well, it will either heal me or kill me!".  I believe that I'm on the road to recovery.

So this evening, I decided to decorate.  I almost thought it was too far into February to be worth it, but then I decided maybe a little pink and red sprinkled around the house would make me feel better.

 
The Valentine Tree is out and decorated
 
 
 
You can see the backyard flag through the breakfast room window (& blinds)
 
The coffee table has pink, red, and lilac mason jars with votives inside
 
An end table with some cupid cheer
 
The mantle with a couple of valentine additions
 
 
 
Last year I made a cute ornament wreath for my front door.
 
Then it was 110 dang degrees all summer long
 
110 dang degrees and hot glue do not make a good combination.
 
I had intended to fix it, but then I got the plague,
so I just hung some wooden hearts on my door this year
 
and of course a front yard flag
 
And, that's all folks!

Europe 2024 {Day 10 ~ Munich, Germany}

On December 22nd, I departed Salzburg train station at 8:00 and arrived in Munich at 9:40.  The station is under construction and a real mess!  I finally made my way out and found it was really raining.  I made my way to a taxi and took it to my hotel.  My hotel room wasn't ready but they kept my bags for me and I headed out.   I have been to Munich a couple of times and wanted to see a couple of things I haven't had a chance to do before.  I planned to to go to the Nazi Documentation Center first since it was raining, but when I looked it up on my phone to double check the hours, I learned they had just closed for renovations.  So rain or not, I was going to have to head out to Nymphemburg Palace.  I took the tram out and then walked to the palace. I don't know why, but I didn't take many pictures on the inside. I also bought a ticket to the Royal Stables Museum which houses lots of coaches. I really found all the sleighs to be a sight to see, bu...
