Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day this year was great.
I snowed a load, so Emily and I both were home all day. It was really good to spend the whole day together! I manually scooped all the driveway, and i finally came to the conclusion that i would like to purchase a snow blower. It took me about a total of about two hours, in four different shifts, to clear off the driveway. I couldn’t imagine doing that all at once.
About 4 p.m., Emily and I were a little stir-crazy, so we drove up to Hart’s to pick up some chocolate, and then walked down to Family Furniture, the used furniture store located where Feller Furniture was for so long. It was fun to be out.
When we got back to the house, Emily made supper. It was a wonderful supper. Shrimp Scampi on a bed of pasta, Casa salad and a wonderful dessert of phyllo dough and candy bars baked with a melted truffle glaze (if that’s what it’s called?). it was great. We got out our wedding china, which we had never used before, goblets and flatware.
We both got dressed up–i actually put on a tie for my wife, and she wore a beautiful red dress–man, my wife is hot!
We had a wonderful candlelight dinner with our fine china. I made press coffee with some great beans, and the coffee went really great with the dessert Emily made.
We had a wonderful Valentine’s Day. It was a lot of fun. Did you do anything unusual on Valentine’s Day?

My grandma got to come home on Valentine’s Day! She fell and broke her hip in October,had surgery, and has been at a nursing home for rehab since early November. We visited as often as we could, but it is difficult to control small children for very long in the nursing home environment. My parents picked her up in the afternoon when she was released, and we met her at her house with flowers and “Welcome Home Nana” signs my sons made. We all had dinner with her there, and my husband came over there straight from work-with a dozen roses and chocolates for me! What a sweetie!
It wasn’t the most romantic Valentine’s Day ever, but a wonderful day for our family to spend together, rejoicing together that our prayers were answered for our “Nana” to come home! Just excited to share that!

That’s a sweet story
I’m just waiting for Jeremiah to either let you know that you named the dessert correctly…or to give you the proper name 
Tell Emily I said hello!
