And romance in the U.S.
and many other parts of the world. It is
believed that Valentine’s Day may have originated in the 5th Century
in Rome , while there are other
versions on how it may have begun at http://www.history.com/topics/valentines-day/history-of-valentines-day.
The first time I became intrigued with this holiday, I was in grammar school in the 1960’s and our teacher encouraged us to
handout simple Valentine’s cards to each member of the class. When I went to middle school, this tradition
ended. In high school, I met my real
Valentine in my late teens and we’ve been exchanging cards and
chocolates since then. We like to keep
it simple because we both feel it’s more important to show our love and
appreciation for each other every day with modest gestures.
Valentine’s Day weekend is also fun for us as innkeepers because
we are fully booked at The Buttonwood Inn and have a lot company. During this cold winter weekend, Bill has both
fireplaces roaring in the Living Room and Mount Surprise Room making it cozy
for everyone. It gives me the chance to
bake chocolate confections for afternoon tea service and make more creative
gourmet breakfasts. Since I’ve been
making breads lately, I plan to make a new sweet breakfast of Cinnamon Swirl
French Toast stuffed with Hazelnut Chocolate, Slivered Almonds, and Bananas.
