Valentine's Day Dazzle

I usually view the onset of Valentine's Day with mistrust and considerable qualms.  This year was no exception.  I fully expected it to be okay, but no more.  I must report though, that it was a fabulous Valentine's Day, wonderful and satisfying and fun.  Thank you, Twin!

First of all, to my delight, I received not only red roses, but also a heart-shaped box of chocolates.  For some reason, the heart shape doubled the impact.  It is Valentine's Day, after all!  Then beautiful earrings with iridescent montana blue beads, and, la piece de resistance (sorry, don't know how to do accents on the computer) a hand-made card!!!!!

But I am not a complete traditionalist.  When Twin suggested taking me to a fancy restaurant for dinner, I confessed that my preference was a bowl of oatmeal with hot milk at the neighborhood diner.  We finished the day at Barnes and Noble, browsing and, as always, talking.

What a wonderful day, most importantly because everything was evidence of Twin's thoughtfulness and wish to please.  Nothing could make a person feel more loved - and that should be the point of Valentine's Day - showing each other love.
