This morning my wife and I kicked off Valentine's Day by taking the family to Marie Calendars. I was surprised to learn a couple years ago that Marie Calendars did breakfast. Our plan this morning was for me to head on to work after breakfast, so we went in separate cars. Janine was loading our foster care boy into the car when I drove off with the girls. She took a slightly different route and arrived before us. She was worried for a bit that we had our signals crossed.
I've taken the older two girls to Marie Calendars for breakfast on our daddy daughter dates. My youngest has always picked other restaurants. She was disappointed to learn this morning that Marie Calendars doesn't serve chicken strips for breakfast and she settled for a waffle. I don't think she'll choose Marie Calendars for our daddy daughter dates any time soon.
Yesterday for Toastmasters I ran table topics. Table topics is designed to give people practice speaking extemporaneously. The Toastmaster for the theme had picked love. I generated several questions around Valentine's Day. According to Wikipedia Valentine's Day originally was created to remember early Christian martyrs who were named Valentine. It wasn't until the 1300s when Chaucer wrote a poem linking Valentine's Day and Love that the holiday came to be associated with romance.
I am a lucky man. I have a wonderful wife who loves me and supports me. In some ways every day is Valentine's Day for me.
I hope you all have a great Valentine's Day.

Did even though Hubby is in Wisconsin. He sent my a lovely card and we talked several times on the phone.
