valentines a-plenty!

See this Valentine's Day card?

Miyah gave that to me yesterday afternoon!

"Stay true to your heart", it says!

And she pulled it out randomly!

Right place, right time!

Tonight, the Smiths & Kamerons Friday Fiesta 
went on as usual - 
meaning the three couples 
didn't forsake us three singles!
 
At the far end is Becca,
then there's Betsy,
with Mary next
and Laura right by me.
 
In other words -
the usual configuration!!!
 

Across the table, 
on the guys' side, 
there was the usual configuration, too.
 
That meant youngest brother Tony near me,
with our brother Smitty in the green shirt,
then the older Kameron brother, Mark,
and his younger brother, Jimmy.
 
Much more variation in color
with their apparel!
 
Plus, we had special guests!
 
At a nearby table sat our stepsister, Susan, with her grandkids, Grayson and Brooklyn.
 
What an unexpected treat!
 
I sat with them and visited, and they stayed right there until my dinner arrived.
 
So good to see them off of fb!
 
The enchiladas verdes was superb, too.
 

Then, as we were all getting 
extra good hugs before dispersing 
into the chilly night air, 
Betsy came forth with treats: 
boxes of chocolates for everyone!
 
How very sweet of her!
(Pun intended!!!)
Plus, there were even flowers!  

Truth to tell, these were intended 
for family members at Greenwich,
but I never quite made it there today.
 
That shall be done tomorrow,
or Sunday at the latest.
 

For now, I've had dinner, so that means:
time for a movie!
 
Thanks, Comcast, for the reward of a new movie to own!
 
Of the three proffered, I chose "Grease", the only musical of the trio.
 
Sing it, Olivia and John!!!

from a question on AARP:
"When people fall in love, 12 areas of the brain fire up to produce chemicals that produce a euphoric feeling, similar to a cocaine high. They concluded that it only takes one-fifth of a second for this to take place."
Wow.

So nice I had the same meal this time!
Plus, Susan was there with Brooklyn and Grayson!!! So glad she knows how to 'find' us again!
Also, Brian Schomburg came by for a visit, too!!! His daughter is one of the Savannah Junior roller derby players and I think he was trying to get my brothers to come watch her. He's quite proud of how tough she is on the rink!
I'm so glad I didn't let the low forties - Fahrenheit, not heart rate - keep me from coming for the Friday Fiesta tonight.
