Happy Day-After-Valentine's Day! by Alison Henderson

Happy Day-After-Valentine's Day! Did you celebrate? I'm a HUGE fan of Thanksgiving and Christmas, but the other holidays--not as much. 

As a result, OG and I are not big Valentine celebrators. He's never been one for grand gestures, and as I said to him, "If I don't do something to make Valentine's Day special, it doesn't happen." He didn't disagree, but merely said something to the effect of, "Are you saying every day with me isn't special?" You see what I have to deal with?

He is, however, pretty good at choosing cards. Here's one of my favorites. I think it captures the essence of our relationship after almost thirty-three years. 

Besides a card, I do try to do something nice for him on Valentine's Day. Since February is peak citrus season here in Carmel, and my Meyer lemon patio tree is loaded, I thought a fresh batch of lemon bars would be a welcome gift. I was right!

How did you celebrate the day? Were you wined and dined? Showered with diamonds and champagne? How about a sweet card from a child or close friend? I hope something happened to make your day a little bit special.
