We used to do a lot more, but it's gotten to the point that we don't make as big a deal out of it anymore. We go out to dinner a lot anyway and I hate going out on V-Day because it is so crowded and you end up waiting. I just got roses for our anniversary in January, we just got past Christmas and Dick's birthday is next month. I never thought I'd see the day I would say I just don't know what to get, or worse, I don't know what I want. We usually go up north for our anniversary in January, but we are going this weekend instead. We are sort of celebrating our anniversary and Christmas. For Christmas, we bought each other weekend getaways. He picked a winter one and I picked a summer one. It worked out great since we would have been spending the money on something neither of us needs just for the sake of buying something. So this weekend we are going for the first half of the Christmas gift and will celebrate our anniversary and roll V-day in as well.

A couple years ago, I took him to the Kennebunkport Inn, in Maine for a Valentine weekend special they had. It was really nice. Usually, we go out to dinner. We'll buy nice cards and probably have a nice dinner at home. At work, they sell roses, balloons, and carnations all day to raise money for the residents activities. We buy each other the carnations and they get delivered to the person. I usually buy one for my daughter and she gets me one. I buy Dick a rose and/or a cute balloon.
