We celebrated Valentine's Day on Saturday evening when we had friends, Grant and Lyndsey over for dinner. We grilled marinated skirt steak, to go with asparagus and oven roasted potatoes. They're easy, really. No rush kind of people that don't require many choices or courses. They brought wine and dessert .. and of course a special treat for Ellie!
A box of beautifully decorated and delicious cupcakes done by a local baker special for Valentine's Day. She loves being special!
They are fun to get together with because they've been married about a year and a half. Oh, the energy of youth - but the wisdom of age! Wow, they are the age Bill and I were when we were married just a year - mid 30's. And how the little things caused friction ... maybe now we understand what really matters, maybe now we focus on Ellie and living a good life, or maybe we're just too tired to disagree most days. Whatever the case it made me grateful that, in our 13th year of marriage, we remember at the end of every day what really matters!
Happy Valentine's Day to all those we love!
