1. A bit, scrap, or morsel: “sparkling black bass … strewn with snippets of coriander and basil” (Gael Greene).

2. Informal A small or mischievous person.

I had no idea that a snippet was a small or mischievous person…..but since I am BOTH….here are a few snippets from around Sweetwater this week!

A good friend from school retired this week.  JoAnn and I worked together for more years than I want to admit to. We celebrated with great stories!  This is the little gift I gave her….

The fun story about the little frame is that the tiles that are glued on to the simple frame are some that I rescued from the school that we worked at together for all those years…..I scored a bucket of these little tiles from the trash when the school was being remodeled….and now JoAnn has a little piece of her history to put on a shelf!

Our new car arrived…..luckily we were scheduled to pick it up on Monday…when we didn’t have school because of the cold!  Why you ask?  Well, it took over 2 hours for them to teach me how to push all the buttons so I can drive it!  Go Figure!!!  Then it sat in the garage on Tuesday because of another cold day off!  I thought Mr. S was going to cry on Wednesday morning when it was time to drive to school for the first time…..there was a SNOWSTORM during morning rush!  Long story short…I love it….or will when I figure out all of the new technology!

I planted some wheat grass…..it is happily sprouting in the front window along side the Holiday Poinsettias!  I hate that they still look too nice to throw away…..but really….it IS February…..maybe I need to hang some hearts on the and call them Valentine Plants!
Anyway…..the wheat grass is a little bit of summer in the house! 

I splurged on some fresh flowers for the house!   Well…..they are from the grocery store…..so for $12 I have flowers that will last a couple of weeks.  The mums are already a week old and still look great.  Yesterday I got some Astromeria….another long lasting flower!

Today I am going to do a little Valentine’s decorating….the nice thing about blogging…I have a pictorial history of what I have done in the past…..hmmmmm…..maybe I will just totally copy last year’s decor!
