We're going to DD's for dinner tonight. Making some heart-shaped cookies this morning. That's the extent of our celebration.......are you doing anything special?

DH picked me up after work last evening and we went out to our favorite restaurant. When I got home, there were tulips everywhere! I brought some into work this morning and rearranged the others at home.

ETA: Today is the 9th anniversary of when we adopted our fur baby. Best Valentine gift ever!

Georgysmom, what happened to your heart-shaped meatloaf? That's a tradition!

Baskets, your pupper looks so comfy in front of the fire!

Lynne, you have some of the nicest table settings :) 20 minutes for a Woolworth's frito pie!! I think I could have waited! I always make cute cupcakes or some kind of homemade goody for the grandbabies for holidays and deliver them with a card but this year I'm hobbling on a walker due to a stress fracture in my left heel. You know those pair of shoes you love but KNOW you can't wear very long? Yeah, well, our outing plans changed and I was in that type of shoe for nearly 12 hours Sat before last :o So the best Grammuffy could do was call the babies and wish them a Happy V-Day. DH came home from work with two white boxes with red bows from a cherished French bakery in Tyler...Chez Bazan. One box of decorated choc. covered strawberries and the other contained a piece of heaven! Best I can come up with from their website is Cinnamon Napoleon w/ Raspberry Sauce. I had reminded him last night that exquisite delicacies were carb free on Valentine's Day ;)

Happy day to all you valentines out there. Here is a local tradition in the next town over from me. The pic doesn't do it justice - these hearts are plastered all over town. Just a fun thing that gives me a lift. http://www.wcax.com/content/news/Valentines-bandit-strikes-again--474059953.html

Very true, Mike, but things are slowly being restored. We were very fortunate to have power since week 2 here in Arecibo. We were without water for 36 days but purchased filtered water from a hospital supplier for drinking and cooking ... there was NO bottled water!, refilled tanks of potable water through the municipality for bathing, and collected rain water for cleaning and laundry. Telephone and internet service is very poor and has still not returned fully. We had no property damage or flooding. Just a lot of discomfort those first couple of months. Stores and supermarkets are fully stocked but lots of local produce is missing until new crops grow. I put up a few pictures on FB for public viewing. You can see that by finding maria elena, arecibo ... I am wearing a peach sleeveless top and a big smile.

Love those tulips and your furbaby, nh. Brushworks, pizza + Zinfandel, yum. Jasdip, I know. When daughter invited us, I had to pause for about 2 nano seconds because of the meatloaf. I'm hoping she surprises me with meatloaf, but anything she cooks is delicious. It's so rare that they're ever home for any holiday. They've both retired, but have so much mileage to be used that they still travel all the time. I have to grab the offer when I can. :-))))

Not much for DH & me. We exchanged cards this morning and I gave him 2 packages of beef jerky. Over the edge romantic here. LOL

SO just left to go get whatever it is I'll be getting this year. I gave him his stuff: 2 pairs of boots a shirt and a coat. He never did pick out a race car part for me to order. Grrr. So difficult.

If I can drag myself out of the house I'll be going to the grocery store while he is out to get something to cook for us tonight. I am thinking heart shaped pizzas,but I'm not sure.

We went out last night for our Valentine's meal. A lovely Italian restaurant with great food. Very nice. Tonight I am making a salmon and asparagus dish he loves.

I made this one to share!
