Valentine's Day celebrations really started out on Friday when Bill bought me a dozen roses. Pretty!
On actual Valentine's Day, Bill and I spent most of the day itself working on our own fun. We did go to Weight Watchers together and had our usual Saturday morning breakfast date at Seize the Bagel. But then Bill went to the theater to watch some opera and I went to the car dealership to have the Jeep serviced and enjoyed a walk and reading my book while I was waiting. Then I decided to do some shopping. It started out just looking to buy a newer, warmer winter coat. I found a down coat that I wanted and then figured I would just look at the dresses to see what they had. I have an appointment with my personal shopper next weekend to discuss wedding dress shopping but have had in my mind what I wanted. I was just too lazy to want to actually go shopping to find one though so I had planned on her doing it for me. I found two dresses that I thought might work on the Burlington Coat Factory rack in my size and picked the one that I liked best. And best yet--it was only $22. I was really pleased with myself. I then decided I needed to go look for my boots. I went to the consignment shop that I found Chris and Bill's cowboy boots for the wedding but nothing there that fit me or that would work. So I ended up at Goodwill. I was really hoping to find western style boots but I did find something that I think will work. So I will still go see my personal shopper next week to see if she can help me accessorize my dress and hopefully she won't tell me it is all wrong for me and try to steer me in another direction. It would be so nice to have what I am wearing to the wedding all worked out already.
After shopping, it was time to take advantage of the beautiful weather to clean up the storm damage branches and pine cones in the yard and mow. Busy but productive day.
We had a last a last minute invitation from our friends, Jeff and Julie, to go to the Sherwood Elks Club for their Valentine's Day Dinner. The Pranksters--a swing band--was the entertainment for the evening. We've heard the Pranksters several times at dances at the Pearson Air Museum and really enjoy them so it was a treat to be able to listen to live dance music for our Valentine's evening out.
Bill and I will have our Valentine's Dinner on our own tonight at my favorite Mexican restaurant. So all in all it has been a very nice weekend.
Looked like they had a great time. Although from seeing the pictures, it does look like Mt. Baker is as much of a mirage as Mt. Rainier is for me. It looks like the cloud were hiding the mountain.
Tom and Maddy celebrated in Wichita by going to their favorite restaurant and they had live music to enjoy during their dinner too.
Hope that you all had a pleasant Valentine's Day weekend too!
