Valentine's Day in Arizona

Happy Valentine's Day!  I searched the internet unsuccessfully for a nice (PC correct) love poem.  Burns, Shelley, Atwood, Byron, Arsan (if you know her, ooh la la..).  I settled on our good friend Jimmy Buffett.  He has lots of great love songs and lyrics but I settled on "Come Monday" to be the lead for my Valentine's Day post.  I can't think that anyone would disagree with my choice.  Here are the full lyrics.  Hum along or sing it loud to your sweetheart......  "Come Monday It'll be alright, Come Monday, I'll be holding you tight......."


"Come Monday"

Headin' up to San Francisco
for the Labor Day weekend show,
I've got my hush-puppies on,
I guess I never was meant for
glitter rock and roll.
And honey I didn't know
that I'd be missin' you so.

[Chorus:]
Come Monday It'll be all right,
Come Monday I'll be holding you tight.
I spent four lonely days in a brown L.A. haze
and I just want you back by my side.

Yes it's been quite a summer,
rent-a-cars and west bound trains.
And now you're off on vacation,
somethin' you tried to explain.
And darlin' I love you so that's
the reason I just let you go.

[Chorus]

I can't help it honey,
you're that much a part of me now.
Remember the night in Montana when
we said there'd be no room for doubt.

I hope you're enjoyin' the scenery,
I know that it's pretty up there.
We can go hikin on Tuesday,
with you I'd walk anywhere.
California has worn me quite thin,
I just can't wait to see you again.

Dana and I started this day with a fantastic hike with some new friends, Catherine and Merv. We hike a couple of trails in the Lost Dutchman State Park.  It was a short hike but the scenery was fantastic, the weather was fantastic and the company was fantastic too.  I have included several pictures that will surely support my enthusiastic assessment.

This afternoon "Cupid" showed up with some very nice "Mercedes"  red Roses and a nice bottle of Nobilo Sav Blanc wine for Dana, and me too.  As I post Dana is cooking Butternut Squash Ravioli.  We will enjoy this entree with a garden salad and a few slices of Greek olive Ciabatta bread.  Yummy!!!!  After dinner we will go for a nice walk in our park and then.......

Enjoy the pics.  Ciao bella......
