Happy Valentine’s Day

What a beautiful day today,  crisp and cold.  Blue skies and very little wind.  It is 5:22 and still there is light outside, sun has set, but still light enough so that I haven’t turned the lights on yet.  This is my favorite time in the winter.

Bub and I went down to the Duckworth Factory today to work on our float for Barbi-gras, coming up in two weeks.  We are going to do a “bale out” theme float. Craig was getting his rocket float updated and will space man again.  I think he should retire the float.  All floats for the parade are personal costumes constructed out of boxes, duct tape, hot glue, mardi-gras beads, glitter and odd add ons.  A general mid winter get together held at the ware house where crawdads and served along side barbique delights.   A parade around the parking lot at 3:00, more food, some drink, a lot of music and fun times.  Sorry, no pictures from years past, but I will take pictures this year.

So our couple activity for Valentine’s day was to begin to construct the float, then pick up the roses as Green Top Market on the way home.  I ordered the longstem red roses about a month ago, and he paid for them today.  A win/win.  I have flowers, he didn’t need to work about remembering them.

We are heading off to Stonegrill *Howard Manosh’s hang out* but really good eats.  I think I will have shrimp on the stone.  yum.

Happy Valentine’s Day all.
