Sweets For All!

I love both the process of making clay food for The House and the effort to "bring it to life" with the people there! Here's how Valentine's Day ultimately played out for everyone!

Of course, the baking and creating happened here:

With sweets in the foreground (and a mischievous little pup hoping he can stretch himself to get to that cake!) and savory items on the stove ...

Some heart-shaped pancakes, at your service! There
is a pile of bacon sizzling in the other pan, too. Mmm ...

... it was bound to be a great day! Clearly, typical time-of-day meal rules did not apply! Most of the adults congregated in the dining room to chat over cakes and coffee:

I think Millie and Kermit are just the cutest. So,
they got the heart-shaped pancakes. 💕

Bundt cake, ice box cake, chocolates and coffee on
the ready for anyone in need!

Meanwhile, the cousins had their own little party in the family room:

Valentine cards and all!

And, the owners of The House? Hal put on his romantic hat and created a little picnic get away on the rooftop deck for his sweetie:

He really went all out with flowers, heart lights and a back-up table of goodies:

It was sweets for all!! Literally or figuratively, as it should be 😊.
