conversation starter this week: Tell us about your most romantic date



welllll it was with my fiance  (at the time) Michael

for my birthday, he bought us tickets to fly to San Francisco, (he had to go for work ) rented us a red convertible, took me to the fine craft show he had to attend, we did touristy stuff, stayed at a great hotel, did wine tours, and I had the time off because he called my boss and set it up all secretly for me. 

It was lovely way to celebrate a birthday. All I had to do was pack a suitcase and wake up early!

Liked the exuberance in this video

exactly how I'd behave if we ever had snow again

I couldn't think of a single romantic date! That really is pathetic isn't it? I must not have ever dated any romantic guys. My favorite Fine Dining thing is Creme Brulé.

At first glance, I thought your initial photo was of a planet somewhere in the galaxy but no! It's the big blue traveling ball!

My most romantic date was when my husband to me to a French restaurant (in Buffalo, NY) for my birthday. It was a small, quiet, intimate place. I don't remember what I had for my entre, but the chocolate torte I had of dessert was the most delicious confection I have ever had. I love you dragonfly doll.

That big blue traveling ball made me laugh! And the doodle who is the town crier - we have some like that in our neighborhood. They just want to say hello, right?! Your dragonfly piece is coming along beautifully! Your trip to San Francisco sounded awesome!

Orange-sicle ice cream is the best!

Michelle said...

Hmmmmm......a good romantic date a few years ago was a very nice hotel stay with a visit to a Cuban restaurant that was superb! Thank you for linking up!

I like your sewing projects and the photos of your neighborhood. The 'romantic date' prompt is too funny. It's been so long since I went on a date, I can't remember any in particular, but I know we always loved picnics. Hope you have a wonderful weekend. x K

Once in a blue moon. Is it windy in your neighborhood and propels orb to travel? Your Horse project and dragon fly project are inspiring.
happy birthday valentine girl!
I too I can't remember any in particular. I must not have ever dated any romantic guys either.
