  February 14th is Valentine's Day! 
Valentine's Day Countdown:  5 Days!

 I overheard several young married couples (who sat around me at a swim meet) discussing Valentine's Day...

"How are you all celebrating Valentine's Day?"

"It's just so crowded at restaurants, we're staying home."

"Valentine's Day is just another day to us."

"We're going out before Valentine's Day to beat the rush."
   
  Will you...
  • Avoid this opportunity to demonstrate your love?
  • Enjoy a romantic meal at home?
  • Take your love out to eat at your favorite restaurant?
  • Send flowers and/or chocolate to your love?
  • Make a card or create a hand-written love note?
  •  Serenade your love with a love song?
