It was a lovely Valentine’s Day.  Of course, Eric worked all day.  I did a number of things: cleaned up the kitchen, ironed, refilled the bird feeder, crocheted a second slipper, and did some writing. 

We exchanged gifts when Eric got home.  He had actually left my gift out on the desk in our loft, figuring that I’d never notice it since I tend to be a “big-picture person.”  He was right on both counts!  I never saw it until he pulled it forward onto the desk.  But it was a little blue box, and inside was a lovely amethyst necklace with a little diamond above the amethyst.  It’s my birthstone (my b-day’s tomorrow), and he picked out all by himself.  Lovely!

He liked the Camelback thing I got him. This page is the closest I could find to what I got him.  Then we started to make dinner.  I did dessert, mashed potatoes, and salad, and I set the table.  Eric made the beef stroganoff.  We used really good meat, and the whole thing turned out so yummy and romantic (candles in our kitchen).  It was good times!  Then we relaxed for the evening and went to bed pretty early.  Lovely!

This morning I read a day in Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening devotional.  This morning’s is really quite good.  Check it out.

Today is Friday (yippee!), so it’s back to CU.  We have a faculty meeting today and my normal classes.  I expect to have a lot of students out today.  But we shall see!

Happy Friday to you all!
