With the "day for lovers" falling on a Saturday this year Hubby Tony and I knew that restaurants would be slammed. We planned a low-key celebration on Friday night, which included attending a local murder mystery dinner.
And it turns out we both independently did a little Valentine's purchasing. On Friday afternoon I came home from running errands to find a beautiful bouquet of mixed flowers and a tiny box of good chocolates waiting for me.
I responded by pulling out my gift bag of Tony's favorite herbal teas and some fresh cherries I splurged on at the grocery store. (As we do, we shared the sweet things and decided that chocolate and fresh cherries make a wonderful combination.)
Our Saturday tradition is to go to church and then out to dinner. After lunch Tony asked if we wanted to do that tonight. I reminded him all of the restaurants would be busy, but I also really didn't want to come back home to eat. Our meal at a Culver's just down the road from our church wouldn't win any awards for fanciness, but my Butterburger and Chocolate Covered Strawberry custard scoop tasted pretty darn good.
