TWENTY DAYS of LOVE.....Day Nineteen


February 12th....TWENTY DAYS of LOVE’
     Day Nineteen


Restaurants are gearing up for Friday night. Valentine’s Day is two days away.  Eating establishments will be busy with those individuals going out for a romantic dinner especially with the holiday on a Friday.  Why wait till then for an evening of romance?  Why not celebrate a few days early?  That’s exactly what we have planned for today.  I’ll be wearing my apparel f days ten through thirteen; not the jewelry I still have not ordered anything as of yet.  I’ll wear the tee shirt, head piece, socks, scarf and yes the funky glasses.  We are still in a quandary as where to go.  It does not really matter to me. Oh by the way it’ll be a romantic lunch about one o’clock as opposed to early dinner.  As long as we’re together that is all that matters for us.  You don’t have to spend an arm and leg on a night out.  Go someplace where you enjoy the food and atmosphere.  Tell your server you’re doing an early valentine’s dinner.  You never know what could happen by doing this.  Perhaps you may be reading this before breakfast or lunch. Hey a romantic breakfast and/or lunch could work too; of course this would work if you’re retired and have all day for such an event.   The idea of this gift is to celebrate two days early to avoid over crowded restaurants and to ensure the cooks and servers are not being rushed with creating and delivering the meal. 
Until tomorrow....enjoy your romantic dinner or night out. 

Gift Idea Day Twenty
Write a love note or letter to that special person

The day of proclaiming love has arrived 
Here we go....rushing out to make 
           purchases
   to present to the one we hold dear in our 
            heart 
Shopping is a pleasure for that special 
               person
Picking the perfect tokens to show our 
           undying love on Valentine’s Day

Many think they need to feed the senses
      with gifts of smell, hearing, touch, sight 
                and taste
Bouquet of roses that fragrance the air 
     Romantic music downloaded to an IPOD 
           A plush teddy bear soft as cotton 
              Words of love written inside a card
and the sweet candy nestled in the heart      
                  shaped box
Small fortunes are spent on Valentine’s Day
But....that special one....absolutely worth it

Although my craving for chocolate is all 
              grown up
I would welcome a cellophane bag of 
         Hershey’s kisses
    over the two pound box of 
                   Russell Stover’s
a single silk red rose from the dollar store
       and a song of love sung by you

As I ponder the day set aside for love
    and how to express our feelings for 
             one another
I decided this is how we do it this year....
Just say “I LOVE YOU” and give each other 
              a kiss
A gesture quite simple....priceless and from 
            the heart
