A very pleasant week

This week marks Valentine's Day and since I've been around, I've had a birthday on 13th February! 
This year I was spoiled even more than past years as a widow in this Valley. 

For my Weigh- Less group on Tuesday, I invited the members to stay behind after the lecture and enjoy legal treats with me. Jill, my wonderful Group Assistant, made her yummy corn fritters. I like to make the apple banana bran muffins which are "legal" for Weigh-Less members. Having several new members, they were intrigued that they could enjoy crackers and hummus; and these other baked goodies.  

On Wednesday, several members joined me for my birthday celebrations in Estcourt; a town 40km from my home. 

 On Thursday, I arrived at the hotel where I run my second Thursday group. When I arrived in the cane lounge, there was a milk tartlet on a dessert plate with a sparkler creating a very festive air. 

See moi in the heart-shaped photo in the center of this collage. Hotel owner, and friend, Shelley had instructed the manager to surprise me thus

A great week, heralding my new year.
