O.k., I did a double take on that title.....>>>>>Happy V.D. everyone!!! <<<<<


Happy Venereal Disease!!!! Huh???:eek:

Then it hit me...Valentine's Day :( Guess I should have figured that out sooner.

My sweetie took me to Ristorante Avanti on the West side of Santa Cruz. We've been going there on V.D. (uh, that's Valentine's Day, not Venereal Disease) for about 12 years.

I had champagne, bruschetta, mixed chickories with gorganzola and apples, chicken caccitore (spelling), polenta, creme brulee, some wonderful red wine and a glass of port that was older than I was!!! Yummy :Heart:

YUM-MY!! Oh, I wish we had that restaurant in our town! :p What a treat!

I got a nice card, roses in a vase, and a nice box of chocolates. :heartthrob: Tonight we're having our champagne. :inlove:

oh, yeah!

I lived in the Santa Cruz area for years (Aptos, Capitola, and even near the Beach BOARDWALK for a few months)

glad you enjoyed an incredibly luscious and delicious-sounding dinner.

your menu made me totally salivate, you lucky duck!

:cool:

Oh, my gosh...

We were practically neighbors!!! Well...I guess not "technically"...but *almost*!!!

I can't believe you live almost around the world, but you lived practically in my backyard!!! It really IS a small world!

I wished one gal at work "a Happy VD" and she rolled. She e-mailed me back and said that I had no idea how many people she wished a "Happy VD" (including her brother). Gotta wonder what's under people's smiles, huh? :D

My honey treated me well. I got two beautiful cards, played hooky for lunch in bed (mmm.... Thai food with desert of mango and sweet rice), got a pair of earrings (he has great taste in jewelry), and a 4 piece box of Godiva. Now everything was great, but I told him he only got the 4 piece box because he knew there was an exact split--2 for each of us. For that, I got an evil grin. I realized that I'm dating myself. :rolleyes:
