By now you know today is Valentine’s Day. A day to celebrate love! And no, it doesn’t just have to be romantic love. Hey, make your dog a special dinner tonight—that counts, too! Call your friend (if they’re a lady friend, they’re your “galentine”!), and if you’re alone, FaceTime or Zoom with a family member or friend while you eat dinner. That way you’re “having dinner” with someone.
Will you do something today to celebrate? If so, are you going out to celebrate or are you staying in to celebrate? Are you not sure yet? Not celebrating? If you are doing something special, please leave a comment below the poll and tell us what it is. We want to know. We love love!
The RV park owners are throwing a Valentine’s Day party. Music and dancing.
Same here!
For over 53 years, most everyday is Valentines day for us.
Oh please. Gag me with a boat oar!
Just kidding! Very sweet and nice!
Laughed at David’s comment but for real, we celebrate life our way, not when a commercial “holiday” says to (not that there’s anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld would say).
Valentine’s day is just a day to remind us who has our hearts. Candy is fine – as long as it’s chocolate.
We will be 53 years Aug of this year. Feel the same as many here, buy gifts when we want to and celebrate every day. LOVE DW every bit as much as I did on our wedding day!
We are going out for breakfast this morning. Which is treat for both of us.
Usually we would go out to dinner on Valentines eve, but this year we’re en route to Florida in the motorhome with our two dogs. So, we elected to have dinner in with cocktails to celebrate ❤️
To plagiarize The Beatles, “Woke up, fell out of bed, dragged a comb across my head. On my way downstairs I drank a cup…”. That’s about all of my Valentine’s Day “celebration”.
Don’t know how to answer your poll. Yes we’re going out. I’m going fishing and my wife is going bowling. We will have a Valentine’s dinner tonight.
Yes we will celebrate but not on Valentine’s day. Everything is way too busy on Valentine’s day. We usually celebrate a week before or a week after.
Needed “sorta” as a category. Couple we met when we went to the Daytona 500 with Good Sam, 19 years ago, (who are parked about 200ft from us here at DIS) told us how they go to the card store, each of them picks out a card, they exchange, read and return the card. So we adopted a version of that. We have cards we gave previously over the years, and starting saving them to reuse every year, even for our anniversary, which is next week. The cards still apply, even the notes we wrote in them :-). We will probably go to out to eat. Although it doesn’t have anything to do with Valentine’s Day. We are just running out of days to visit our fav places to eat.
Oh my, you guys are hilarious!

I answered no because the wife is down with a cold. Will fix her breakfast, lunch and dinner, when she is feeling better will take her out for a nice dinner. Married 52 years and have never missed a holiday or special day without doing or getting her something.
I explained to my wife, then girlfriend, that I did not participate in “Hallmark Holidays”! I was not going to go out and buy her a bunch of stuff just because some marketing gimmick told me to. If I buy her flowers it will be because I want to, not because I’m told to on a certain date. She thought it was a great idea and still does to this day!
👍
Not celebrating right now as we’re waiting in the parking lot, in the RV, at the tire shop for our replacement tire to come in😁.Hopefully we’ll celebrate later 👍🏻 At least I’m with my Valentine ❤️
We normally don’t do anything special on Valentine’s Day, we have never felt a need for a special day. In marriage it’s nice to celebrate the day but if it’s a necessity you need to work on your relationship. We do special things year round and when the children were still at home we would often tell them we’ll be back in an hour or two and just have some time alone at the beach or a park, maybe just go have coffee and talk. Valentine’s Day is nice but the rest of the year is more important.
No, we are traveling today in our motorhome, headed to Las Vegas from Idaho. This morning we are sitting in Jackpot, NV with a couple of inches of new snow and windy. So how far we get today is questionable? It will be a memorable Valetines Day!!!
Also don’t forget March 14th…
OMG, Gary! I wish I hadn’t looked it up! 😆 Oh, wait. I’ll go with National Pi Day or National Potato Chip Day. There… we can list those here. Have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
We don’t need a holiday to Celebrate Each and Every Single Day of our Lives. Our hopes are for others to be able to Celebrate all days too.
NOTE: We do say Happy holiday name…
Again Celebrate Each Day!
Happy Day to All.
My wife and I will be baby sitting two granddaughter so our son and daughter-in-law can go out and celebrate. Happy Valentine’s Day!
We will go out for a late lunch, nothing fancy. We enjoy each other’s company every day of the year.
We wake up each morning, we see if our hips and legs are going to work that day and then decide what we will do. How much more romantic can you get?
We celebrate twice. We get together with our daughter, son-in-law, and four grandkids for a special Valentine’s Day tea party (glorified lunch). Then, this evening, my sweetheart and I will have a romantic dinner for two in. Love is a little less exciting after 50 years, but the comfort of deep intimacy built over many years can’t be beat. In fact, I think God gave us the thrill in the early years to enable us to grow together through the tough patches. Married love and family love are such blessings.
I said, “stay in and celebrate,” and that’s more right than, “no.” But DW typically gets stuck fixing supper while I visit with my 91-years-of-age mother. Tonight (Valentine’s Day evening) I’ll fix supper after returning from visiting Momma.
What a good son and husband you are, Neal. Lucky ladies in your life. Happy Valentine’s Day to you and them. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
Well 57 years ago today I left my sweetheart to go into the Army. We are still together and she gave me a beautiful card and some chocolate. I made her breakfast in bed and her favorite mocha. Nothing too extravagant just love and we appreciate each other.
Yes, we went out this is our 25th wedding anniversary!!
Note to young guys looking to get married. Plan for a Valentine’s Day wedding and never forget the anniversary!!🤣🤣. The media won’t let you 😎
scheduled surgery.
Wishing you a speedy recovery, Tom. (Not a fun way to spend your Valentine’s Day, however.) Take care. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
