If “the best things in life are free,” let’s explore that idea for Valentine’s Day. First let’s define “free” as not paying somebody else for a product or service. Meanwhile, some sweat equity and in-house supplies need to come into play.
Equally popular with guys and gals is a romantic night — either “in” or “out”.
Staying in the house — especially on a cold winter night that most of the country is experiencing right now — takes a little imagination, but here are idea-starters: fire in fireplace, lit candles, scented candles, christmas lights, a special mix of music, a favorite game of conversation starter, the aromas of favorite home-cooked food in the kitchen, wine, dessert, clean sheets, bubble bath, massage oil, a video chosen for your shared tastes, and — well, do you need more ideas for the romantic night in the house?
And how about that evening “out”? For free, you ask? In the middle of winter? You bet your bippy! Fortunately, Valentine’s Day is on a Sunday this year, so the date “out” can be in the daytime, right? A few ideas, then — let’s start with packing a picnic lunch to eat in the car atop the hill with the best view within 20 miles of home. Play games in the back seat like you did in high school. Fog up the windows. If the weather’s not horrific, walk on some beautiful trails or carry your ice skates to the nearest frozen pond and skate till you drop. Heal your bruises with a few glasses of wine. Read each other the homemade cards you wrote for each other. Go home and give each other a massage.
Yup, the best things in life are free. The best kind of love is always freely given, at least I think so.
