Valentines day

Buying anything/doing anything for your significant other?

If so - let us know!
(i.e. share your ideas!)

Only for my three year old daughter - it is her birthday. Told my wife when our daughter was born that it was the last time she would get anything for Valentine's Day.....

I think I might order some flowers this year, things have been tight lately and I think it'd be nice.

Just need to find something the cats won't eat and the dogs won't knock over.

I ordered 1/2 dozen cookies on sticks and they are putting them in a vase, I think that they are heart shaped and flower shaped. Figured I would try something a little different this year.

I will think of her, quite fondly, as I have every day since, and I will smile as I remember the time I spent with her.




And nothing I can do or not do beyond that will matter in the least, in the grand scheme of the universe.
