As we approach Valentine’s Day, let’s not forget the men and women who serve our country. Valentines can be as simple or elaborate as you’d like. If you’d like to participate, you can make as many or as few as you choose. Helpful Tips: • Do not attach any candy or treats. • Try not to use craft materials that can break away from your valentine. They may be shipped anywhere in the world, and you want your cards to be as beautiful when they’re read as when they were made. • Tell a little about yourself (age, school, likes) but do not include your last name, phone number or address. • If you make more than one valentine, please do not put individual valentines in sealed envelopes (obviously, you’ll need one sealed envelope to mail your valentines in). • Remember to sign your valentine with your first name only. • Tell them why you appreciate them. Valentines should be mailed to: Dallas Vet Center 10501 N. Central, Suite 213 Dallas, TX 75231 Cards and letters may be mailed at any time of the year. Obviously, if you choose to send valentines, the sooner the better. 7 In This Issue Kids’ Nite Out .

Main St., Lewisville (469) 713-5997 Cost: $6 Tuesday, February 09, 7:00 PM Briarhill Middle School 2100 Briarhill Blvd., Highland Village www.facebook.com/event.php?eid... Cost: $2 . Follow the adventures of two Victorian street urchins —annoyingly enthusiastic and melodramatic—who still await with joy the return of their missing father after many years. As they gratefully and cheerfully accept their circumstances of foraging and freezing, Pip and Mimsy, accompanied by friend Fimm Bimbles, have a chance encounter with an evil and hypnotic puppet named Begeloits who draws the unwitting children into his nefarious plan to kill the Queen. Coincidence and fate lead Pip and Mimsy to Court where they are reunited with their miserly Uncle Scrooge and where, somehow, Pip, Mimsy, and Fimm foil the Royal Nephew’s assassination attempt on the Queen. The dark, melodramatic humor is off-putting, provocative, and yet at the same time “ever so” appealing. You’ll be strangely drawn to this play! The Lewisville High School Drama Department will perform "Moon Over Buffalo" Feb. 11 - 13 at 7 p.m. and Feb. 14 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $6 and are available at the door. Valentine’s Day Rice Krispy Hearts This colorful new twist on a classic treat is a great gift for your child to give to anyone she's sweet on this February 14. Ingredients * Cooking spray * 3 tablespoons margarine * 6 cups mini marshmallows * Red food coloring * 9 cups Rice Krispies cereal * Heart-shaped cookie cutter * Plastic bags, yarn Instructions 1. Lightly coat a 10- by 15-inch baking sheet with cooking spray and set it aside. 2. Melt the margarine in a large pot over low heat. Add the marshmallows, stirring them continuously until they melt. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in drops of red food coloring until the color receives a thumbs-up from the chef. 3. Add the Rice Krispies, stirring until they are evenly coated with marshmallow. Spoon the mixture onto the baking sheet. 4. With waxed paper (or lightly buttered hands), smooth out the mixture, spreading it to an even thickness. 5. Cut out hearts with the cookie cutter. Place each heart in a clear plastic bag, tie on a yarn bow, and they're ready for giving. Makes seven 5-inch hearts.
