Sweet Melissa Sundays Rum Truffles

This weeks Sweet Melissa Recipe is Rum Truffles chosen by Nina at Nina's cupcakes.
I cut the recipe in half .
Basically the recipe calls for bittersweet chocolate, butter, egg yolks, rum, and cocoa powder for rolling, how simple is that!

These were super easy to make and good.
I don't think I would roll them in cocoa powder again Because they were really chocolaty
and I really liked
all the different choices that others rolled theirs in.
I always think I have to do exactly like the book says but I'm learning.
These would be easy for a brunch or wedding!

Gifts

My oldest daughter admires our youth pastor and worship leader. They are both beautiful examples for my girls and I love that she respects and cares about these women.
They are both single and
For Valentines day she bought them flowers!
How sweet is that.

This was the precious moments from my wedding cake !
My husband Knows that I love flowers
but I love something even more....

He bought me a Keurig coffee pot for Valentines day with lots of different flavors to try!
Even Hot Chocolate

So I'm using the cup someone gave him with his picture on it to have my morning cup of coffee!
How sweet is that!
It brews three different sizes and I can't wait to try the brewed , iced tea.

Snow and Ice



Well it has been a cold couple of days.
I am so grateful that we didn't loose power or that I didn't Have to go visit patients in this mess. I only work on Thursday and Fridays but they have been closed for the past two days because of the weather.
My girls have been watching continuous tv and it is driving me crazy.
I have made them do laundry, clean out their closets , get a goodwill pile going and even....
I made them help me with the taxes!
They spent two hours helping me organize and add figures.
This is a great way to teach your kids about your finances and responsibility.
Especially when you hear one of them yell out what a rip off 4% interest,
and then we say that is great!
I am so grateful to God that we have not least electricity
and that we have been able to slow down and spend some quality just resting!
Yesterday I made fresh cranberry muffins and tonight we are having chicken soup!
Hope that you are safe and warm
