A Happy Homemaker In Texas

Welcome to my new Saturday version of Happy Homemaker.
This week I am starting something new.  I normally write this post on Monday or Sunday night so I can link with Sandra for 
Happy Homemaker Monday.

I am thinking of Valentines Day 
Are you?

Sorry sometimes I get distracted.  I wanted to start posting on Saturday because there are other topics I've been wanting to write about on Mondays.  So at least for awhile Saturday will be 
Happy Homemaker in Texas.
