19. We went to a TexMex restaurant.

Nice place!
This was back when a purist like me could stand to go to a TexMex place. I admit it, I am a food snob and my Texan Mom raised me on the real thing. Simple dishes, no sour cream in sight.

[debm55]

25. Thank you very much and Happy Valentine's Day.

[boonecreek]

21. Saw the movie "Hot Stuff"

with Dom de Luise, Suzanne Pleshette, Jerry Reed and Ossie Davis.

40. And happy Valentine's Day to you Deb.

[C0RI0LANUS]

22. I know you waited especially for mine, debm55.

My wife-to-be and I dressed to the nines and enjoyed Jersey Boys on Broadway. We must have looked like Gary Cooper and Ginger Rogers that night as we "put on the Ritz." And the cast put on a terrific show.




Afterwards, I escorted my elegant-looking wife-to-be in high heels to a five-star restaurant for a delicious, unforgettable NYC dinner. My spit-shined patent leather shoes were like mirrors.

[debm55]

[Aristus]

45. I was as poor as a church mouse when Mrs. Aristus and I started dating.

I took her to Izzy's, a buffet-style restaurant that no longer exists. It was there that I realized we were meant for each other.

I had just been dumped by a girl who used to mock me for my residual Texas-isms, like "howdy"; she didn't like that, and made fun of me in front of her other friends over it. Nice, huh?

Well, the future Mrs. Aristus and I were enjoying the buffet. I especially liked their superb salad bar. I had two helpings of salad while she had entrees. I was just getting up to get an entree of my own, when she asked "Aren't you going to get some real food?"

I replied: "That's what I'm fixin' to do."

She said: "Fixin'! That's so cute!"

I knew we were right for each other.

[debm55]

48. Thank you Aristus. May you and Mrs. Aristus have a great Valentine's Day.

a local cheese shop and a loaf of crusty bread, hiked up a local hill and ate at the top. We were in college then. 🙂

[debm55]

[Tree Lady]

58. Mexican restaurant in Santa Rosa CA

downtown, fancier one than casual. Then we saw movie American Beauty with Kevin Spacey.

We had a great time but I almost didn't date him again taking me to movie about a guy fantasizing about a 17 yr old and I had a 17 yr old daughter, my youngest at home with me then.

Moving on this year we will celebrate our 25th anniversary!
