One year ago , on the occasion of my Jinni's birthday and Valentine's Day, (which are separated by only 24 hours) I posted a picture that shows two people very much in love. Check it out.
One year later I find that my love has only deepened as I continue to learn more and more about just what kind of woman I married just over 20 years ago.
So I ask... my dear Jinni... will you be my Valentine?
************
As is her way, Jinni thinks of others before herself. Many years ago, she started a Valentine's Day tradition that is playing out again tonight.
We have several dear friends who are single, and as such, don't get the kind of attention that Valentine's Day is purported to to bring to those of us who are paired-up.
She has set the table with our wedding china and crystal, cooked a fabulous meal, brought out the wine, decorated the house with hearts and such ,and lighting the candles throughout the house. A romantic dinner for nine.
