a Wonderful Wife Part 3 "Happy Valentines Day"

Saint Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day is on February 14th. It is the traditional day on which lovers express their love for each other; sending Valentine's, candy, or donations to charities, often anonymously. It is very common to present flowers on Valentine's Day. The holiday is named after two men, both Christian martyrs named Valentine. The day became associated with romantic love in the High Middle Ages, when the tradition of courtly love flourished.

The day is most closely associated with the mutual exchange of love notes in the form of "valentines". Modern Valentine symbols include the heart-shaped outline and the figure of the winged Cupid. Since the 19 century handwritten notes have largely given way to mass-produced greeting cards. The Greeting Card Association estimates that approximately one billion valentines are sent each year worldwide, making the day the second largest card-sending holiday of the year behind Christmas. The association estimates that women purchase approximately 85 percent of all valentines.

How are me and Elizabeth, my wonderful wife spending Valentines Day?

With a delicious fine dining experience at Sophia. Sophia is an authentic 1930s era art deco jazz nightclub in the French Bistro style. An elegant and romantic setting, they showcase the Hottest Jazz Talent in the metro area. Sophia is the place to go for an intimate dinner. Enjoy an evening of fine dining, music and dancing. Elizabeth and I are here for all of the above!

Elizabeth has the Chicken Caesar Salad made of Romaine lettuce, parmesan cheese, croutons, and Creamy Caesar dressing.

I have the Grilled New York Strip with Bordelaise and served with potato and daily vegetable.

Elizabeth; You and your meat. (she chuckles)

Keith; You and your yard work.

Elizabeth; Ha Ha, Very funny! Speaking of yard work, when do you think we will get that yard project completed?

Keith; Before the kids are brought back home.

Elizabeth; Mr. Optimistic! We have already spent three days and we are not even halfway through.

Keith; That's because we took too many breaks.

Elizabeth; Yeah, but you have to admit it was fun?

Keith; Yes I admit it, but as of tomorrow, it is back to business.

Elizabeth; Yes boss. (she chuckles)

Keith thinks; I couldn't help but notice that everyone here is married. Rings all around. Where are the young dating couples tonight? And I thought about Kurt Johnson, one of my rocker friends that would loved to be married someday soon?

Keith; I have not heard from Kurt Johnson in a while.

Elizabeth; Why don't you just take a walk next door and say hi?

Keith; Kurt Johnson is our next door neighbor?

Elizabeth: Yes, silly! Is that Grilled New York Strip interfering with your memory?

Next Time; Meet the Neighbors!

Peace!

Keith
