With tomorrow being Valentine's Day, what will you be getting the wife/boss/War Department?
Wanting to get started early, I went ahead and gave my wife some chocolate-covered strawberries from Kroger.
The restaurants will be busy tomorrow night no doubt.

Just another day for us. No gifts will be given.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

She already has me, what more could she want? Maybe a new English Pointer pup?
Haven't had it in years but never spit any out. I am a sucker for happy endings and strapped cowboys.

My hubby knows flowers and chocolate's are a waste of money. However, ammo is perfectly acceptable.

I have flowers coming tomorrow. We will cook at home Saturday to celebrate. My wife’s schedule is hectic right now, so by the time we figured out when we would celebrate, finding a reservation at a nice restaurant was impossible (and I tried nine different places).
I’ll grill a tomahawk and, weather permitting, we will sit by the outside fire with some wine and music.
I just turned it on . I was looking bird dogs in the butt this morning.

I usually buy her red roses, more of a memory thing as our first actual date was on Valentine's day to a youth group church Valentine's party and I gave her a red rose corsage. I have also bought rose bushes (mainly red) and planted them in a rose garden, again back to more of my own tradition to enjoy throughout the year instead of just a few days in a vase ... tomorrow will be 45 years from our first date that started all this.
What we have been doing the last 10+ years was we take a day trip somewhere around central Texas to see something new (most new to her since I've covered most things) ... just a nice day spent totally focused on being with each other. Usually brunch somewhere along the way, see some sights, early dinner and back home by bedtime. but with her having cataract surgery yesterday, we will be delaying this little adventure a few weeks.

I send flowers to my GF at work. She isn't really into flowers, but she loves the reaction she gets from the other gals in her office. I'll also do it every now and then at random times throughout the year.
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

I'm thinking a large prime beef filet, some green onions and a large russet potato in a nicely wrapped box. We've been married 53 years and I know how to get to her heart.

Chocolate dipped strawberries and a card. I got her 6 covered strawberries. $8 No cards. All men at the grocery store had that ‘forced’ look on their face. It was ironic.

My wife and I enjoy taking to the road as well and have found some of our more memorable experiences to be at places we discovered by chance.

No gifts or cards between the Mrs. and I. I bought myself some fishing items and she bought herself some shoes.
Haven't exchanged cards, gifts, or gone to eat on Valentines Day since we had our first kid.

A new dishwasher. Didn't want her to have to wash them by hand. Wouldn't want her hands to get all dry and cracked!
Actually took her to a Valentines Banquet,but I did install a new dishwasher during the day on Friday.
