What a wonderful day we had! Gary surprised me with a mushy card first thing with my morning coffee. We were to get out of the house and go to some antique stores towards Grand Haven and putts around. However, we started our journey too early so we kept driving and went into Holland, ending up at Steak and Shake for a morning burger! An excursion we would not normally take. On the way back we stopped at the now opened store. We took a trip back in time and shopped but didn't buy anything, then headed back home where we exchanged our boxes of chocolates.
The real fun came when we started dinner. We had planned on eating in regardless...German dinner is what we planned along with all of the fixings: Polish sausage, sour kraut, spatzle, red cabbage and potato pancakes. As I attempted to set the mood with red, I discovered that I didn't have anything, not one red napkin, dish, nothing! So, we improvised. I tore off several pieces of butcher paper and grabbed the colored markers and we sat down at the table and created each other's place mat and the one for the center of the table. It was fun.
Finishing the cooking, glass of wine along with Dean Martin playing in the background was a great way to set the mood for the rest of the night. Great food, great music, great company.
After twenty years of marriage, it's wonderful to be able to still be wined and dined at home and still have it be romantic. :-)
