THERE SHE IS...

There She Is, Miss America

Move over Martha Stewart, in step Miss America. Today, at Stew Leonard's in Norwalk, CT, Kirsten Haglund, Miss America 2008, made a special appearance, and who was there to meet and greet her? None other than Frannie.

S.W.A.K.

P.S. - Don't fret Martha, Frannie still considers you to be one of her close friends.

BECAUSE... BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

Give Me One Kiss And I'll Be Happy

Just, Just To Be With You

Give Me, Give Me, A Chance To Be Near You

BECAUSE, BECAUSE I LOVE YOU

(Dave Clark)

Frannie made the Valentine in the top picture, and together we baked and decorated cupcakes. Frannie's Valentine treat is going to be a trip to the movie theater to see "Hotel For Dogs". Grandma is coming along with the two of us - she's going to see to it that Frannie gets the full movie treatment - popcorn and drink to go along with the show. Frannie can hardly wait!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

TEA FOR TWO

Okay Little Red Hen, here's your Valentine. My other sister, Ellen, and I (Frannie too, of course), like to visit tea houses, so I created this one especially for her.

TEA FOR TWO
Picture you upon my knee
Just tea for two
And two for tea
Just me for you
And you for me...alone-

ROXANNE

K1P2 LOVE

I am one of three girls, the middle one. All three of us have a way with the needle. It must be genetic. My younger sister, Roxanne (not that much younger) :) has a passion for knitting and is very talented. This year, her Valentine focuses on that love. I slipped a pair of knitting needles that I decorated in the pocket.

Now, Little Red Hen, don't get your feathers ruffled! I'm brewing up a special Valentine just for you too!

Tonight's music is from Sting and The Police - "Roxanne". The lyrics don't have anything to do with my sister - I just like the name of the song.

ROXANNE
Sting and The Police
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light
Roxanne
You don't have to put on the red light

HEART OF GOLD

YOU KEEP ME SEARCHING FOR A HEART OF GOLD

HEART OF GOLD

Neil Young
I want to live,
I want to give
I've been a miner
for a heart of gold.
It's these expressions
I never give
That keep me searching
for a heart of gold...

SEALED WITH A KISS

SWEETS FOR MY SWEET

Valentine #2. Is there some law that states all Valentines must be either pink or red? I didn't think so. It's a good thing, too, because I love this color!

SEALED WITH A KISS

Bobby Vinton

Though we gotta say goodbye for the summer,
Baby, I promise you this
I'll send you all my love every day in a letter
Sealed with a kiss
