Lessons learned:
When you are deep in the throes of familial fellowship and enjoying the unity and sharing, it is much better when something is said that is counterpoint to what I think,, just hold your tongue and let it pass... which I did and Im glad.... it's ok! The earth is still in its orbit and the sun arose this morning!

Looking around the house:::
Still dont want to... dont make me!
From the camera:::
Our lovely valentine dinner at Szechuan.... dont ask about how our original reservation we had days prior to made for another restaurant was given to another couple even though we appeared exactly on time and came a couple of hours earlier than a typical valentine time.. 4:45 and they still gave our reservation to someone else... but we saved money and calories by enjoying our got o place right down the street!

Today's devotional at Alistair Begg
The Lord Was There
date February 17, 2014
Edom's princes saw the whole country left desolate and counted upon its easy conquest; but there was one great difficulty in their way--quite unknown to them--"The Lord was there"; and in His presence lay the special security of the chosen land. Whatever may be the machinations and devices of the enemies of God's people, there is still the same effectual barrier to thwart their plan.
The saints are God's heritage, and He is among them and will protect His own. This assurance grants us comfort in our troubles and spiritual conflicts! We are constantly opposed and yet perpetually preserved! How often Satan shoots his arrows against our faith, but our faith defies the power of hell's fiery darts; they are not only turned aside, but they are quenched upon its shield, for "the Lord was there."
Our good works are the subjects of Satan's attacks. A believer never yet had a virtue or a grace that was not the target for hellish bullets: whether it was bright and sparkling hope, or warm and fervent love, or all-enduring patience, or zeal flaming like coals of fire, the old enemy of everything that is good has tried to destroy it. The only reason why anything virtuous or lovely survives in us is this: "the Lord was there."
If the Lord is with us through life, we do not need to fear death; for when we come to die, we will find that "the Lord is there." Where the billows are most tempestuous, and the water is most chill, we shall feel the bottom and know that it is good; our feet shall stand upon the Rock of Ages when time is passing away. Dear friend, from the beginning of a Christian's life to the end, the only reason he does not perish is because "the Lord was there." When the God of everlasting love shall change and leave His elect to perish, then may the church of God be destroyed; but not until then, because it is written, JEHOVAH SHAMMAH, "The Lord was there."
