Valentine’s Day has arrived, and we are ready to celebrate. First, Mary headed for the gym while I stayed home and cleaned the house to prepare for the house cleaners to arrive.
When I picked Mary up from the gym, we went to the dry cleaners as we had a stack of goodies there needing to be picked up. On our way back, we decided to go to the Original Pancake House and shared a veggie omelet. That sucker has 1440 calories hence the reason we shared.
They had brand-new coffee cups, which we enjoyed.
These cups were not cheapies; the pictures and words were raised in ceramic material.
Since she just departed from the gym, I was NOT allowed any pictures until she wrapped up her hair; she always looks fantastic!
“You can take a picture now!”
We did not realize the cups were in different colors. Now, we will have to look around and catalog the colors.
These cups are indeed a work of art.
Returning home, we finished off getting ready for the cleaning staff. When they arrived, we went across the street to Jeff’s and visited him for a while. We knew they were done with our place as Domi came to the door; she does Jeff’s house also!
We watched TV in the afternoon and then prepared for Valentine’s Day evening festivities.
We went to Renata’s at the Orange Circle. They were busy this evening, but the owner knew we were coming and saved us the best seat in the house, which was inside and adjacent to the plate glass window,
We were ready to dine!
Two college kids were at the table next to us, so we started conversing. They got a free dinner as Bob and I paid for their meal!
Bob and I worked on our secret plan. Thursday, Jim is going to sing at the Elks karaoke activity, and when he gets up to sing, Bob and I are going to stand behind him and be his “backup singers,” complete with hand and foot motions (NO singing for us as they would empty the lodge).
Bob is an incredible choreographer.
We thought about having roses in our mouths, but Valentine’s Day will be over. The song Jim is going to sing is “Feeling Happy” by the Turtles.
Bob looks pretty good with the rose!
We headed home around 9:00 pm, and traffic was busy; everyone was coming home from dinner somewhere.
Chapman was busy.
We stopped at Aces and had a glass of wine before going home. We met up with Kyle, who sings Sinatra. He did a pretty good one!
We got home around 10:00 pm and crashed. Mary was worried she didn’t get a Valentine’s Day present; I surprised her!
Next year, I will get something different!
