"Valentine's Day Da," Che asks, "spell it please."
I call letters and she kicks off the celebration at our house, making it official by writing it on our blackboard door, before going to school.
It's an absolutely glorious and wonderful, sunny and warm, deep blue sky void of cloud winter's day.
"Last year", Sarah Elliott says, "I made a list of the restaurants I wanted to visit and we didn't do any of them. Let's go!"
So we do.
"Tacos + Tequila" is everything we want for our first date in months and months.
We delight in the Tacos and the Margarita (check out that very hip glass), the excellent vibe of the place but mostly each other on a marvelous winter's day.
We laugh, talk about the kids, the Chemo shot later this week, attending a Drum Circle tomorrow and baking King's cake.
These are precious moments.
"Enjoy every sandwich," the late Warren Zevon said. "Don't consume life unthinkingly. Savor every mouthful, every moment, no matter how ordinary or common."
That's our plan this Valentine's Day celebration which starts today and ends whenever Che gets around to letting us know.
