I have one daughter who refuses to acknowledge Valentine's as much as she possibly can... she says Mother's Day and Father's Day are enough of the made-up holidays, and that's kind of my mindset, too... those acts of kindness and charity all year are so treasured.

I like simple, but every now and again I like to put on heels and go on a date. :) And as the kids get older, the less they seem to want to spend Valentine's with the elders, LOL! But then grandkids come along and they LOVE spending time with Grammy and Gramps. This year, Lena (4 years old) surprised me by decorating my house with pink, red and white streamers so when I got home it was a Valentine's Extravaganza! We had juice!!!! And decorations!!! And candy!!!! :) So funny and so fun. At that age, it doesn't take much and I was thrilled.

I loved your post today, Ruthy. And I'm so excited about your upcoming book! <br /><br />As for Valentine's Day in this Takenaka home, we usually keep it fairly simple. Some years we've made it a game night with our boys. Other years (like this one), we actually get dolled up and enjoy a date at a nice restaurant. There are always cards with personal messages exchanged. The bes part is spending time with my man, sharing our hearts and laughing at funny things (not usually our hearts, though). <br /><br />Happy Valentine's Day a wee bit early!Jeanne Takenakahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07409533877632020738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-62273550455034839392020-02-13T15:44:39.713-05:002020-02-13T15:44:39.713-05:00How did you know that was my goal???? :)

In later years, I may have received some candy and I think one year I was give flowers but those are the key words! May and Think, because obviously, those times weren't that important. The homemade cards, the years of providing for me and our daughter, the assurance of his love and faithfulness, and his devotion to God...these are the proof positive that I found the very best Valentine for me!<br />As always, I loved your post!Connie Porter Saundershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09234596850866029756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3649424089750316818.post-59464010375526259462020-02-12T15:32:25.261-05:002020-02-12T15:32:25.261-05:00I agree with every single word of this post, Ruthy...I agree with every single word of this post, Ruthy!
