We still have such cards displayed from 2 yrs. ago. Pathetic, eh? But hey, they do cost money but have cute messages. The spirit is still there with the giver of card.

I remember my parents being amused when as children, we asked them if they would give each other Valentine's D. gifts. Of course, that day is foreign to them.

From mouths of babes that is an innocent question, if we didn't notice already how much they were giving to each other daily.

So we went to a gourmet French-style cafe and he treated me to a little gourmet cake and he had his.

Then for tonight I bought 2 gourmet venison and blueberry sausages for supper, just on impulse. He suggested he make a red pepper and tomato balsamic vinegar salad-like thing. i dunno. Another creation of his which will be fine.

So that's our modest Valentine's Day.

that's great you got sapphire earrings, Dee. If I got such a gift, I would seriously wonder when I would wear them. I'm not attending soirees nor am a society gal. I occasionally love getting super dressed up in party dress, but he's not into that (he hates wearing suits now that he doesn't work for a big corporation) and most of our friends....are cyclists. So pretty down to earth group.
