Heart's Desire

I had big plans for this Valentine’s weekend. Cupid’s day fell on Saturday and President’s Day was on the following Monday, creating a long weekend with the holiday. My parents were willing to watch the boys for the duration so we could escape for some rest and recreation. Sandy has a big project approaching filled with lots of overtime, and we might not have another opportunity like this for some time.  We planned to leave after the boys’ basketball game Saturday morning, but then found the hotels on our short list already booked. Instead, we enjoyed an intimate dinner at the Campbell Club and left the next morning for Tennessee to visit our good friends Al and Lisa Bell. After listening to weather reports during the day, we cut our plans short and headed back to Kentucky just before the hard snow began around 10 pm. Our very special time together didn’t unfold as I planned, but we had a wonderfully spontaneous time anyway.
