Some of the Buckhead ladies were telling me of the steaks that Richard Nunnally cooks. That sure makes my taste buds go wild. I understand that he will prepare the steaks for the Valentine banquet at Beacon Heights next Saturday. He also cooked for 100 for the Brotherhood. These ladies are looking forward to the Valentine banquet.
Well this week has is the day that is supposed to be the day of hearts. I looked in the dictionary to see what it said about Valentines Day. It said that a sweetheart was chosen or complimented on Saint Valentine’s Day. The day was named after Saint Valentine in the third century A.D. He was a Christian martyr of Rome. It also said that a card or note may be sent or a gift. Of course we all know what Valentine Day is! I just wanted to see what the dictionary said.
My husband always picked the nicest, prettiest cards and a large box of candy. There were years that I told him to please not get candy because I would eat it all. But when he had gotten candy it was always a large box. I remember one year when I walked through our dining room there was something shiny under the desk that caught my eye. Naturally I stopped to see what it was.  When I looked I left it as it was until he was ready to give it to me. It was a large beautiful heart-shaped box of candy. To each of you I hope that you have a happy Valentines Day!
