Recipes for Romance from Reader’s Rock Magazine My husband and I dated since we were sixteen. Money wasn't always there for elaborate gifts on Christmas and birthdays, or Valentine's Day. The best gifts my boyfriend/future husband ever gave me were things he made himself. We spent a lot of time just hanging out at my parents' house, watching TV. A lot of the time when he came over for the evening, I would still be indulging in a bath, and the poor guy had to sit and wait for me to be finished. Peggy Henderson is married to her High School Sweetheart with whom she shares a love of Yellowstone the setting of many of her books. One Valentine's Day, I came home from my part-time job, and he was already at the house, to my great surprise. He led me straight to the bathroom, where he'd already set up a bubble bath for me. On the water floated Styrofoam hearts and Cupid Arrows that he must spent all day cutting out and painting. He sat and visited with my parents while I got to soak in a wonderful bath. He was my hero when we were teenagers, and he's still my hero all these years later. Valentine's Day doesn't have to be about expensive gifts. It's those little personal gestures that show we care about the person we love. A little creativity goes a long way. Recipes for Romance from Reader’s Rock Magazine This is GREAT for Valentine’s Day!
