I love Valentines Day. It's a great time to show your family and friends that you love and appreciate them. I like to make cards and chocolate dipped strawberries for my daughters and husband. I enjoy sending cards and little gifts to my kids who live away from home and my grandkids. When the kids were little we used to make a special breakfast featuring heart-shaped French toast. and strawberries. Our church has a Valentines Dinner for married and dating couples, and we enjoy thinking up fun activities to encourage love and communication between the couples. Happy Valentines Day friends!

That sounds lovely, Carrie. We used to do a Sweetheart Banquet at our church for the Senior Citizens. And if we had widows or widowers, a friend or family member attended with them. Hey, I'm a senior myself now! I think it is a good day to be thoughtful to others.
ReplyDeleteGiving or receiving gifts is neither mine nor my husband's love language so we rarely do "gifts." But we will talk to each other and say, "hey, I've been wanting to buy such and such, can I buy it for myself for V-day?" LOL So we use it as an excuse to buy things we've put off because they are not "needed," but wanted (as long as they are in the budget of course!!)
ReplyDeleteAs far as what you said about Big Daddy and how you can see the romance turn into love in how he takes care of you. I have that with my hubby too. I've mentioned before that I have OCD. Sometimes (like now, PTL!) it's just a nuisance in life and doesn't affect me too strongly. But other times--I'm a mess! He has stuck by me and loved me through some ugly times.
Also, I am having a minor surgery at the end of this month, but I already know that for the 2 days I'll be recuperating at home he will let me rest on the couch while he fetches water, books, the lost remote...so I don't have to.
Tracy, he sounds like a wonderful man! Will pray your surgery goes well and you heal fast!
ReplyDeleteCarrie and Lenora, I like celebrating Valentine's Day both with my husband and as a friendship day with family and friends too!
Lenora, I'm late for your post. But I really enjoyed it. So true about romance and love. And what a sweetie you have in Big Daddy!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Valentine's Day to all of you!
Tracy, I hope your surgery goes well. It's good to know you will be pampered. Missy, have a great Valentine's Day. I think ours will be quiet since he's already spent money on appliances, a new mattress and carpet and ... the ER bill for my bad back! Now that's romance!
ReplyDeleteCarrie, that's so nice! We do something similar. The men's group has a dinner for the wives of the members and also treats the widows.
ReplyDeleteI love your idea about dipping strawberries! My kids always drool over them at the Godiva store, but they're outrageously expensive (something like $7 for one strawberry!). I'll have to do some at home. I just bought strawberries!
Tracy, I'll be praying for your surgery! Sounds like you have a great guy to take care of you. :)
Lenora, we're so practical that we never fight the crowds on V'Day. We already celebrated! Had lunch on Friday. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your back is better!
Yes, I do have a great guy AND a son with lots of empathy. He's 9 and will check on me too, I know he will. Two years ago when I had H1N1, I'd be dozing and I'd feel my blanket being adjusted and I'd crack my eyes and there was Seth, making sure I was covered and comfy! He'd ask if I needed more water, etc. He was only 7!! I see a career that involves nurturing of some kind for that one!
ReplyDeleteMama brag over ;o)
That is very sweet, Tracy!
