Valentine's Day

I know it's been a while since I blogged. I thought I'd tell you about our Valentine's day. Those of you who know Art well will know he usually doesn't think much of this particular holiday. As far as he is concerned, it was invented by card companies to bring up their profits. Sometimes I get a card and sometimes I don't. So I didn't know what to expect this year. I decided to celebrate the holiday even if Art wasn't into it. I set the table with a red and pink theme, along with some heart shaped confetti. I topped it all off with a balloon I tied to the inside garage door knob, so he could see it when he came in to park the car.

He was plesantly surprised with all my efforts. I made him some of his favorite things for dinner and gave him a little polar bear wearing a sweater with a heart on it. I thought he might like it for his desk at work. That is in fact where it's home is now. Well, he had a surprise for me also. He not only gave me a card, he bought tickets to see the ballet version of Romeo and Juliet this past Sunday. I thought that was so romantic. That wouldn't have been one of the ways I would have described Art as of late. So, he threw me a curve. Needless to say we had a good time at the ballet, even though it did end in a tragedy. This Valentine's Day didn't.
