Today was my day off work, so I cleaned house, grocery shopped and cooked dinner for Gary. In the midst of my cleaning, my doorbell rang. It was a beautiful pot of red tulips from my Valentine! They came with the bulb still attached so I can plant them in our yard. What a nice surprise.
This evening we opted to stay in rather that fight the Valentine's Day crowd. I cooked salmon on asparagus, with salad, bread and white wine. We enjoyed our home cooked meal in the quiet of our humble abode. I even broke out our china. (I think this is only the second time it's ever been used.) For dessert we enjoyed a few chocolate covered strawberries.
It was the perfect evening, and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world. This holiday may be just another Hallmark holiday for money making, but I love it. It reminds us all how blessed we are to have loved ones to share our lives with.
