It was hard for us to schedule a time to celebrate Valentine's Day this year. We didn't even see each on February 14, although we talked several times during the day. We were planning to celebrate it on Friday, (2/16). But then that was the Friday night to begin the long President's Day weekend and everyone is trying to get out of town - including those, like Ron, who work in Orange County. It took him 2-1/2 hours to drive home! By then it was 8:30 p.m. and even though he stopped by on his way home, he was too tired and it was too late to celebrate. Saturday night is Sarah's 1st playoff basketball game... Sunday night I've got scrapbooking...how about Monday night? That works, we're both off ... So, finally a Valentine!
He arrived at my door at 6:00 with a beautiful bouquet of pink flowers, a really cute card, and an extra little surprise in his pocket ... no, not the engagement ring - but a beautiful Opal and Ruby necklace (how cute is that - red and white on Valentine's day?). I gave him a 'date in a bucket.' No, the date won't happen in a bucket. Inside a plastic 'paint' bucket, all decorated for Valentine's day with hearts and ribbons were the makings for a date. Gift certificates to the movies, After shave so he'll smell good (not that he smells bad...), and candy! A few pictures later and we're on our way to Outback for a scrumptious steak dinner, yummy! Finally a Valentine ... and worth the wait!
