Well, it is finally here.
The day we have all been waiting for.
The last non-work day before a vacation!
My plans for the day are – work (because that always needs to be done before you leave), pack, try to finish taxes. I will be happy with two out of three. At a bare minimum laundry will be done for packing. Work needs to happen, and taxes still have a month or two, although I am so close to completion it would be a shame to wait.
My focus on the vacation was such that I really had not factored in Valentines Day, or Presidents Day for that matter. It just dawned on me that a lot of people were taking little trips on Thursday, and then my powerful brain put it all together.
Now we are giving a nod to Valentines.
Carl had at least two of his charges go to Paint the Town and make heart shaped trivets for their families.
Our celebration is a bit of a fall back to probably my best gift to Carl ever.
Get a chub/round/whatever of Braunschweiger.
Put the square on a plate, cut a round off the B. the same thickness as the square.
Cut the round in half and place them next to the square to make a heart.
Surround with crackers.
Surround with other plates/bowls of olives and whatever else you enjoy.
Add drink and enjoy.
How do you celebrate?

We’re not doing anything for Valentine’s Day. We were invited to a wine and chocolate party but it’s at a friend’s house over on the far side of Ypsi, a half hour’s drive from here. As we were pulling into town this afternoon after the 5-hour drive from Siberia, the GG mentioned that his throat was sore. I canceled and we’re staying home with a fire and a hastily built lasagne instead.
