[at-l] Valentines Day the day after trail related sorta

[greyowl at rcn.com]

Yesterday was valentines day.  Turned out to be snowy, icey, miserable day.  What does one get ones spouse, signifcant other, etc after being married almost 38 yrs (in May, but then who is counting).  Neither of us need candy, I am way over weight and my wife is a few pounds over what she weighed when we got married.  I didn't buy flowers as a number of my orchids are blooming and roses cannot compete with the orchids.

I ended up driving to work.  The center had a 2 hr delay in opening so I got up and fixed breakfast for both of use. and then off to work.  I get to work just in time to find out that they are going to close the building in an hour.  So I drove two hours to work to work only 2 hrs.  I had several things to do and I ended up working 2 hrs and had only an 1.5 hr drive home. 

When I got home I fixed supper (stew with a nice claret to drink).  I had bought my darling wife a sweater and a book with knotting patterns.  She bought me one of Tinman's cooking sets.  Needless to say that we were both very happy.

Actually Valentines day is not just one day, but should be celebrated 365 days a year.  On that note I am taking my wife out to dinner on Friday followed by a concert.

Hope that all of you had a wonderful valentines day with the one you (If you can't be with the one you love, love the one you're with  ;-)
