Slackers

It's true... The Olde Goate and I do not celebrate Valentines Day. We're slackers...
It started simply enough with TOG's statement to me early on in our relationship that having a mandated day of celebration just didn't work for him.
My response was relief.
Relief that I didn't have to find a way to make the day special. And I won't be gooey and say every day is special... because they aren't. Some days are hard, and some are frustrating, and some are rewarding, and some are just busy... and some are priceless.
The best ones are usually in Canada... our home away from home. Our getaway. Where we can just be...
...Together.
...Relaxed.
We're not much on the public celebrations...
It works for us.
However, I know a lot of folks do enjoy the celebration... Wishing all of you that do the happiest of Valentines Days!
AG out!

OK - the romantic GB and I...HA...waiting for a potato to bake then toward the end grilling a steak then going to our separate TV's. Sooooooo romantic! (But it works for us! ;-)
You're a very beautiful couple. Mandated days of celebrations are sort of ridiculous if you think about it.
You two are a handsome -- and sensible -- couple! I hope you had a happy, non-celebratory day!
Happy non-celebration day...TOG & my husband would get along nicely.
We don't do VD either. Love that shot!!!!
Ditto at Casa de Envy......although, we DID have a wonderful seafood dinner at home Friday night. Does that count??
Same with us, nothing special about February 14th.
To each their own. We don't go all out. I mostly have fun picking out gooey cards. That's the best!
same here at the little house. i get coffee made and a kiss. i know i am loved. cdub knows he is loved. a hug and a peck! great pic of you and tog!
smooches.

Well, we do try to make it a little special. We remarried on Valentine's Day after all and that was romantic we thought. We are pretty mushy.
We do make a bigger deal of our original anniversary because otherwise all of our kids are illegitimate. We do think that our second anniversary proves the power of hard work and genuine love along with God's help to overcome difficult times and choosing Valentine's Day seemed appropriate.
We love you and whatever you do and however you celebrate or not is perfectly fine with us.
We didn't get to have much alone time because of grand-kid commitments but we'll make up for it soon.
