February the month of Love

Yes, I know that Valentine's Day is long past. The flowers have wilted and the chocolate is long gone, but when I think of February I think of Leap year, the ground hog, and love.
Different people have different explanations on what love is and what it means. Obviously, some people think the gifts of  flowers and chocolate show their love. Others go a little more bold and give rubies in the shape of a heart (Dwight, I love it), but I had just a really weird week end and it reminded me of different kinds of love.
Some times love is telling some one something that they don't want to hear (thanks Beth I needed that splash of cold water).
Some times love is going some place you never want to be just to offer a word of encouragement.
Some times love is a huge hug where no words are actually spoken but a thousand things are said. It's one where you know when to pull close and when to let go.
Love is so much more than words or gifts.

Dining adventure

For quite some time now, I've been want to visit a place called "Hurts Donuts" in Springfield, Mo.
By coincidence, the hubby needed to pick something up in Springfield and I finally got to visit. They are open 24 hours and have been featured on the food network. The donuts did not disappoint.

I picked out some cookie monster donuts to take to my grandson-and no, I did not give him a dozen. These things were huge.

 But not as big as the Maple bacon plank that Dwight ate(to be honest I had to help the poor man)

 We saved the mint for Sunday-and it was just wonderful.

 There was one covered in Reeses (but you could choose one covered in twix bars too)

I got a red velvet covered in cream cheese and it was so sweet, it took three 

people to finish it, but look how pretty it was.

Not quite what I had planned

Visiting San Francisco last summer, I had hoped to see these steps:

But that didn't happen. However, look what's in Eureka Springs, Ar:
