Everyone knows that men are creatures of habit and we have no romantic
sense an any part of our body when we are growing up. It takes a good
better half drilling into our heads for us to do it right. I do
something special every year for my better half. I try an top the year
before. It gets really hard sometimes. Tell me what you think tell if
you think I am doing good

Valentines Day breakfast
Swedish Country Style Scrambled Eggs
Swedish Sausage Potato Cakes
Cinnamon Buttermilk Waffles with fresh strawberries (
which are in season) and blue berries
Cinnamon Fritters

After a wholesome hand prepared breakfast for the both of us. I am
taking her window shopping in Mt. Dora it is a small town the
specializes in being country friendly filled with quaint little old style
shops. We will need to work that breakfast off.

We are going to have a light lunch picnic with some of our other couple
friends on the towns antique railroad that takes you out sight seeing
around a huge lake thru historic areas.

Lunch will be Asian Turkey Lettuce Wraps
Creamy cucumber salad
Bruschetta using Spanish red onions and fresh
basil on baguette bread
Rolled Chicken & Mushroom Omelette sliced up and
made into finger food
Heart shaped Cherry Jell-O cake with cool whip
topping

From there us guys are going to go and disappear and leave the other
half's together to do a scavenger hunt. We have a chauffeured vehicle it
will take them all together so they can have some fun together for a few
hours. At the end of the scavenger hunt it will lead each people to
their individual better half's special evening.

I have my lady coming to a water front restaurant in time to watch the
sunset. Where we will enjoy dinner, live music and dancing for a few
hours. The place is a casual restaurant called the inlet harbor
http://www.inletharbor.com/restaurant.html. It is a nice restaurant
that has great ambiance, scenic views of birds, boats in the marina and
there is a nearby lighthouse in sight. Plus it is inside so we won't
freeze our butts off.


When she gets home there will be single rose on her pillow, Don't worry
furballs will not be in the bedroom to eat it
Inside the rose will be something similar to this
http://tinyurl.com/93t68 . She love pink sapphires so I got a something
a little special for her

So tell me ladies has this man done good or will it blow up in my face

Matthew

That's lovely!!! I hope you have a most perfect day!!! You deserve it- she
must be a very special lady for you to go to all this trouble.
Yes she is and she deserves it everyday

Nah... no effort at all gone into what you've planned. Sheesh... men!

Cheers, helen s :-Þ

at least I planned only for about 2 months now


Only two months? ;-)

Cheers, helen s

Well it went excellent all day. The window shopping we found some nice
knick knacks. The train ride was refreshing. I should have said the lunch
was made in finger food size individual proportions. The girls which
included a couple guys loved the scavenger hunt. The sunset was beautiful
over the marina. The food was great along with the live music dancing
proved challenging. But it all went great she is exhausted
I had an extra surprise for her when we got home besides the ring in
the roses; tears were there when she saw it. There was a big box of
Garfield chocolates by godiva about 3 lbs worth. sitting on the pillow


We had about 10 extra surprise when we got home tonight. Her daughter
college dorm had a power outage classes were cancelled. There is no heat
in the dorm rooms. She brought her girlfriends home with her they are all
camped out in the TV room. We got home to a bunch of hungry teenagers. I
ordered a couple pizzas and made them some more bruscetta and hot chocolate.
We watched a couple movies and everyone is fast asleep.
I got up to do some paperwork. Decide to check out my post. So I take
it you ladies were impressed what I had planned for the day. Every partner
( being politically correct ) should do something special whenever they can
for their better half. I do simple things a phone call in the middle of
the day saying I love you. A note hidden where they can find it later in
the day. Drop by the work drop of a flower or surprise them some how. We
both do this all the time and we have been together for quite awhile

Now I got to do a couple things
1 start planning for her birthday, and next valentine's day
2 I need to get up and go to the store 15 people for break fast in the
morning
3 make a plan for today if the girls stay you can only live on pizza for so
long

Good night everyone or Good Day depending on where you are

Matthew

I forgot to tell you what she got me. She got me tickets to Disney's animal
Kingdom. VIPs tours and backstage passes along with a private tour of the
tiger conservation center. I will post pictures when I go

Good for him! I'm in full agreement.

Join the gang! What I got yesterday, was what I get every year. He
wakes up, leans over and whispers in my ear "I didn't get you a
Valentine's card is that okay? You know it's just another
commercialised American idea don't you?"

As I say "Romance is dead and I live with the man who killed it!"

(And I had to miss my role playing game last night because the DM
cancelled as two of his players had been left in no doubt what would
happen to their male bits if they didn't produce roses, champagne and
candlelit dinners- perhaps I should try that!)

Can I ask, out of curiosity, do the women ever get Valentine things for
their boyfriends or husbands? Or is this just a one-way kind of thing?

I'm asking because I've heard a couple of women complain that their
husbands don't do anything for them on V-day, but I've never heard any
women say they do special stuff for their guys.

Not meant as a criticism, just a bit of an anthropological study.

Well in the interest of your study, oldest grandson came home with gifts
from girlfriend last night pretty much equal to gifts taken to her.

I do have to wonder about all the very scant lingerie gifts on display at
the mall over the weekend. I'm sure there will be a number of recipients
who are offended at the notion that they are both expected to appreciate
such a gift but also to appreciate it. In particular if that is all they
get.

We don't do much for V-day.
