Throwback Thursday - Happy Valentine's Week

Paul gave me this box of chocolates for our first Valentine's Day together.  I think I was 17.  He used to call the dress I had on my Italian tablecloth dress. 

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Sunday...

Today was a rather weird day in that we were supposed to go to Janelle's mom's house for dinner today. We decided not to because most of us have colds! Instead we had dinner here and had a very laid-back day. I didn't really take any pictures of the day except I took an Instagram picture with my phone of Valentne M&M's, and a picture of Marley's Valentine cards that she was working on for school.




I hope everyone out there is staying healthy!

Valentine's Dinner

Tonight we had our annual Valentine's Dinner with friends. Sometimes we go out, but this year Carl and Gladys had it at their home. Carl (above) was the chef, cooking a wonderful prime rib!

We had a lot of fun, as usual. Thanks Carl and Gladys!

Valentine dinner

We celebrated Valentine's Day with some old friends tonight; we try to make this a yearly thing. Some years we go out to eat, and some years we have it at someone's house. Tonight it was at Carl and Gladys' house. We had lots of good food and lots of laughs; it was a fun night.

This was the cheesecake that Gladys made. Yum!




Earlier in the day we babysat for Mason at his house. He is so funny. He wears this tupperware thing like a hat. I love this age.

Steaming Tender

Tonight was our annual Valentine's dinner with friends. We went to Steaming Tender for the second year. It is a restaurant in the old Palmer train station. We had a great meal with good friends.

P.S. We all missed you Linda and Ralph. Lin, I hope you feel better soon!

45/365 - Valentine dinner with friends

Happy Valentine's Day. Tonight we went out to dinner with friends to Steaming Tender, a restaurant in the old train station in Palmer. Paul and I had never been there. The food was wonderful, and the building was so interesting to look at. I need to go back there just to explore it some more. One of the cutest things was an actual shoe-shine platform with about 4 or 5 chairs on it. After the meal we went back to one of the couples' home for dessert. This picture is of the dessert table. So "Valentine-y"! There were 9 couples there tonight, and all but one couple I have known for years, some since childhood. We all belong to the same church. We try to get together like this at least a couple of times a year. Such a fun night.

44/365 - Valentine present from Big Baba

Big Baba brought Marley a present for Valentine's Day tonight. A heart tin with earrings and bracelets. Her expression said it all; she loved it!
