13/14--this one is a memory


I'm not a real big fan of Valentine's Day, and really haven't been for about 19 years---on a personal level anyway...

I mean I enjoy helping my kids get ready for it and baking cookies and anything about and for them is cool and I love it!! But as far as my own heart......it's just another day.

My last and most Happy Valentine's Day memory was when I was a sophomore in high school. The guy I was dating had made plans for us. So I went and got a white dress and a red satin belt and red shoes for the event. (I have had the shoes till last month---Sydney chewed them up)

Anyway, he came and picked me up dressed very dapper. He took me to the "Skyliner" which was a wonderful restaurant up at the tiny airport in Farmington. We were the only teenagers up there....it was so cool!!!! I got to order a virgin strawberry daiquiri and he let me order anything on the menu I wanted!!! My mom never let me do that. I order the crab enchiladas--incredibly disgusting.....So he let me order something else and then teased me the rest of the night about what I ordered.

This was of the most awesome dates in my life...and I was only 15-1/2 years old.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE!!
