Friendly February

What is different about this month is that there are 29 days instead of 28. Does that mean it is a lucky year? Is it lucky because it is the year of the dragon?  This month there are 3 very friendly days (Chinese New Year, Valentines Day and Family day - only in Canada).  I guess you are wondering why the title is Friendly February.  Well to start we have had a few get together with friends. We celebrated Chinese New year, had a couples get together for Valentines and most recently we had a Mexican night with a couple since it was a long weekend (Family Day). In addition to this, I had a chance to reconnect with some long time friend and relative.  Reminiscing about all the good time and sad times was a bit nostalgic.  I had a chance to chat on the phone to a friend aka distant relative through marriage, but basically and x cousin in law. Anyway, it was weird that we could just chat about the past and it seems like old times. I think the last time I spoke to him was sometime in the mid 80's. In addition to this one, I also had a chance to chat with my childhood friend before he his travel back to the home country to visit relatives and friends while he still can enjoy it.  But enough of these words so I'll share some of the latest creation (sewing) and new recipes (baking) I have done for the couple of months.
