Today was Doug and my 26th Valentine's together, and it was definitely one of the quietest ones. We stayed home for most of the day unpacking from yesterday, cleaning the house and doing laundry. We did step out for lunch at Mad Anthony's around 2 p.m. Mom and Dad came up then to hang out with Cameron. We had given the Heinisch children their gifts before we left. Each one got a book that they had wanted and Ghiradelli's with $20 hidden in them. Meg wanted a modern day version of Romeo and Juliet. Cam is reading a series based on the Thorn rooms at the Chicago Art Museum, so we got him the second one. Cal started reading Stephen King, so we bought him my favorite collection of King's short stories that include Shawshank Redemption. Doug found a beautiful pair of amethyst earrings for me. He also gave me a Jane Austen blu-ray. Cam and Meg picked out Doug's gifts. He now has new Rubbermaid containers for lunch and Spectre on blu-ray.
Preston came over at 3 p.m. to hang out for the afternoon. Cal left around then to take HM to South Bend. They ate dinner at Outback Steakhouse. He didn't get back to her house until after 8 p.m. He said the roads were bad. They had Doug's CR-V with new tires, so they made it without a problem. Cam headed to bed early with one of his new books and Meg went to Kaitlin's to spend the night. Doug and I spent the end of the evening working of the Renoir puzzle and watching Casablanca. It may have been one of the quietest Valentine's we have spent, but it definitely was a lovely day.
