He loves Valentine&#8217;s Day; it&#8217;s his favorite day of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, he brought home some special baking goodies so I can make treats for the both of us this weekend.  Thursday, he brought me a bouquet of flowers &#8212; a lot of &#8217;em, including a dozen red roses.  Awww&#8230; he&#8217;s so romantic.<\/p>\n<p>Friday night after I got home from the family dinner, he was waiting for me in chaps &amp; boots no less&#8230; ahem, let&#8217;s say the lights were out and we had no reason to turn them on &#8212; we just turned each other on!  (whew!)<\/p>\n<p>Today, Valentine&#8217;s Day, began with a warm, cozy, sensual snuggle as we awoke and looked out the windows to watch the sun rise, the birds come awake, and the squirrels begin to do their morning calisthenics.<\/p>\n<p>Then he rolled over, and handed me such a sweet card that brought tears to my eyes.  He has done that before, so I was prepared and handed him a special card that I got for him, too.  He sniffed; I think I hit his sweet spot with the sentiment written in the card.  We snuggled some more, comfy in each other&#8217;s arms.<\/p>\n<p>We finally got up, and I had some things to do on the computer for community-related things really early.  Now that those tasks are done and this blog post was written, I will go to our kitchen to prepare my studly hunk a wonderful, hearty waffle breakfast.  I&#8217;ll put a chocolate-covered strawberry on top to surprise him.<\/p>\n<p>It is going to be a great day.  I&#8217;m sure my partner will make it so.  He so enjoys being romantic, and I enjoy returning the love to my sweetie.  How wonderful is that&#8230; after all these years?  Love remains alive, fun, and deep between my guy and me.<\/p>\n<p>Life is short:  show those you love that you love them!<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My partner is such a romantic.
