I couldn't believe today started February. I was still buried in my January to do list. But I happen to really enjoy February. I start putting my seed plan together, I enjoy the hearts and pinks/reds of Valentines Day, and mostly importantly, the sun starts to come back.

I hope everyone stays warm and healthy!

Mandy, I love it....great theme for the month of February....

Please count me in...........

Stay warm everyone. I am currently wearing shorts and a tank top. I really am not trying to rub it in.....really. I would love a cold crunch.....some nip in the air.

Happy Monday....enjoy!!

Great theme, Mandy, and I will join in.

The last 2 weeks have been super cold and first a sleet and ice storm and a week later even colder and snow. Unfortunate our snow fell overnight which disappointed me. I love to watch snowflakes falling and missed just about all of it. It has been quite hazardous to go out to walk my dog. She enjoys snow but definitely not ice.

I'm glad you both are joining in this month! It's finally made it into the upper 20s for the highs. It's feeling like a heat wave after the polar vortex.

Annie - lucky! But I think we all want what we don't always get. I mostly miss the sun.

Jeanne - I hope the ice clears for you and your pup!

Mandy

Mandy, I so agree with you.......

sign me up

Thank you for hosting

Mandy, thank you for hosting and please count me in.

I also would like to see more of our older Members check in when they can.

New Members are also great.

Letting everyone know that I'm juggling multiple things here so I may not be online as frequently - one of which is adjusting to my newer computer. I'm sure it works fine, but I know so little about how to set things up like they used to be on my other computer.

Thank you for joining Nicole and Ruth!

There's a couple of additional days to sign up.

Mandy, I just emailed you my "someone" off of the FOTESS address list......

Thanks!

Annie

Here are the pairings for the partners.

Annie sends to Jeanne
Jeanne sends to Nicole
Nicole sends to Ruth
Ruth sends to Mandy
Mandy sends to Annie.

Ruth and Annie already picked their other partners.

I'll start the game tomorrow!

I thought we would start with 2 Truths and a Lie. Focus on home stuff. Whomever guesses the right lie gets to start the next round with their own 3 "facts".

I have a red maple tree in my yard.

I have stayed in a houseboat in Amsterdam.

I have a Master Gardener Certification.

Which one is false?

Mandy ~ can you send me the address list for FOTESS? I can't seem to find mine.

False: I have stayed in a houseboat in Amsterdam

Nicole - That one is true, but it's been awhile. I spent 4 nights on a houseboat when I visited Amsterdam. It was a very fun trip. I saw the Anne Frank house, the Van Gogh museum exhibit and toured on the canals.

Any other guesses using the remaining two choices? Anyone can guess.

Red Maple Tree - FALSE

Mandy, I'm sending you a name from the list

Oh shoot, I missed the start of the game.................

Mandy, I can't get a message to go through to you and the email didn't go through. If you can get a message to me, it's okay for you to assign a previous/infrequent member to me.

Mandy ~ false statement red maple tree

Jeanne - how about you take the person with the 9. 30 b day?

We will run a few rounds of this game then start another.

You got it right Jeanne and Nicole. I want a red maple but don'thave one yet.

Jeanne or Nicole - it's your turn. Give us 2 truths and a lie. 😊

From Jeanne

Truth or Lie

My apartment would be considered the first floor on one side of the building and the second floor from the other side of the building.

I drive a Nissan Rogue.

I love freshly fallen snow.

Jeanne Truth or Lie

FALSE...... I love freshly fallen snow

I'll respond once someone posts the Lie. Not you, Annie, at least not yet.

Mandy, I found the person with the birthday you listed and will do that.

Lie .................... I drive a Nissan Rogue.

Lie - My apartment would be considered the first floor on one side of the building and the second floor from the other side of the building.

I am getting ready to send out my cards. Please send by 2/16 or let us know if you will be delayed.

Nicole - let me know if you've picked your second person.

It's warming up here. 30 degrees today. I hope everyone is staying healthy!

Hi Mandy, message you through HOUZZ since my email is restricting me for sending emails at the moment since I have so much junk mail taking up storage space. I tried to message you but the option is not available. I will delete some of my emails so I can send you a message through my email.
