We made it to February, that cold little month where we eat chocolate and write love notes- or at least that’s how it should be! If I had the time, I would cover my kitchen table with pink and red construction paper, lacey paper doilies, glue, and glitter. I think we should put love notes all over town- tell Ashland why it’s our Valentine town.

Write some notes this week; they don’t have to be mushy, they can be notes of appreciation and sometimes that’s better than romance. Call or email me with your Ashland news: 310-5320, ashlandnews@gmail.com. Xoxo
