Our Valentine's Day

Guillermo and I had a nice day today.  We started it off with breakfast tacos at Taco Cabana and then went to Home Depot to special order a towel bar and then look at their plants.  From there we went to the apartment to pick up the newspapers that the Express News is STILL delivering there, even though we called them back on Dec. 10 to cancel.  We aren't paying for those papers so it's nothing off of our back except for the fact that we have to go by the apartment every 2 or 3 days to pick up those papers so they don't accumulate outside the door.  Then we just put those newspapers in the recycling since we get the paper already at our house.  We made our 10th call to the Express News today, asking them do they not care that they are delivering newspapers to a place that nobody is paying for???  Crazy.

Then we went to Walmart and Guillermo bought me a few beautiful plants - a nice pansy basket and a beautiful orchid plant.  I also bought Mom a pansy plant for her to place in her front yard.

Later I drove to Mom's house to spend a little bit of time with her on Valentine's Day.  I brought her a big
Valentine's balloon, some chocolate-covered strawberries and the pansy plant.  Then we went to Ihop to have lunch.  We had a nice time together.

In the evening, Guillermo and I drove to Red Lobster to have dinner but found the wait for a table to be an hour and a half.  So, we decided to drive to another Red Lobster but on the way changed our mind and thought we'd go have dinner at Simi's - an Indian Restaurant.  That turned out to be an excellent choice.  Our food was so good, the atmosphere was perfect, I had a great glass of Malbec wine and  Guillermo had a good Mango Lassi, so it all turned out good.
