CHrIsty’s VIEw Valentine’s Day will be here before you know it and no, we should not have to have a “Hallmark” day to tell us to show one another that we love each other but… Since we do, make the most of it. Here are some great Valentine’s Ideas!           MAKE, not Purchase, your loved one’s Valentine’s cards, they mean so much more when you do. Cook your family or your spouse’s favorite meal. Find an activity, maybe a board or card game, that you all/both enjoy but don’t always take the time to do. For your spouse, run a nice warm bubble bath; heat the towel, put on soothing music… Pick flowers from the yard and arrange them in a reused vase. Print out your wedding photo, include your wedding vows and frame it. Make heart shaped muffins or breakfast sandwiches for breakfast. Clean your spouse’s car. Leave a love note on your spouse’s steering wheel as a surprise when they go to leave in the morning. Buy a journal and write in it together, include goals and dreams in it, write to each other in it nightly The Woods At Home Joni Jackson-Fletcher 1401 Macon Road Griffin, GA 30224 PHONE: (770) 227-3818 FAX: (770) 412-0901 E-mail: [email protected] E-Mail: [email protected] Our Mission and Values "As a member of The Senior's Choice, a leading companion care service provider, our mission is to ensure a better quality of life for our elderly clients and their families by providing dependable and affordable care."
