Is the Romance Dead?

The inside of my kindle.....
Some of you know I've been married for over 20 years. All to the same man, even. So, after 20+ years, what passes for Valentine's around Casa de Xanakas? 

Candy? Nope. Flowers? Uh-uh. Jewelry? Not for me. Nope. I got nothing. And I liked it. 

See, I don't really need candy.  I wear the same jewelry every day - I rarely come across something I like enough to put what I wear now into a drawer. And he knows I think that the money spent on sending flowers could got to much better things.

What things, you ask? Books. Loads and loads of books. Spouse got me the perfect gift a couple of years ago - a kindle. And now, he feeds it. That's just what I wanted, and all I needed, except for him.

Oh, I did get a bath this weekend. It had all the right ingredients - hot water, bubbles, and a six-foot, blue-eyed bear to cuddle with. Yep, he gets me.
