Happy Valentine’s Day (and Family Day)

Back to back holidays! Valentine’s Day fell on Sunday, and today is Family Day in Alberta.

Tammy’s answer to every holiday is food. 😜 That included some assorted pastries and mixed berries to go with orange juice and champagne sparkling white wine for breakfast. Lunch was a breakfast, too. She whipped up eggs benedict, her fave. In the afternoon, it was time to construct the black forest heart-shaped cake. It went a little more topical: as we’ve been watching The Queen’s Gambit, Tammy’s made some noises about learning how to play chess. We already had a roll-up vinyl board and plastic pieces, but I found a nice, solid 15″ board with wooden pieces.

It was a quiet day, but we did gather to watch Grease after dinner. Today was even quieter. I remarked to Tammy that thanks to isolating during the pandemic, we’ve been doing nothing but spending time together for the last 11 months. 🙄 But we’re all doing well and happy as we can expect.
