Today was a lot of fun as we celebrated Valentine's Day. I had forgotten about Valentine's Day when I was in the States so I didn't bring any candy in. Miss Faith, on the other hand, had brought in loads of candy for my students. In 6th grade, she had Fun Dips for all of the students. It is one of my favorite candies. I was glad that she kept the Fun Dips for the 6th grade because I always like introducing the candies that are goofy and fun.

Later this evening the group that was here had brought in food and wanted to cook us dinner for Valentine's Day. They had brought in pork tenderloins, potatoes that were thinly sliced and served in a pan with what seemed like scalloped potatoes. They also had a huge dish of steamed broccoli. At our tables, we had fresh baked bread along with a strawberry spread and a cranberry salad. After eating until I was stuffed, they brought black forest cake covered with cherries for desert. It was incredible. I was so full that normally I wouldn't have been able to eat desert, but it was too good to leave sitting there.
