Plan Your Escape

Welcome to Day 13 of a two-week-long Valentine's
party at the Brambleberry Cottage!
Plan Your Escape

We all dream of escaping to some sweet retreat. What is the most romantic getaway you've ever been on –or dreamed of?
We flew into San Francisco the night we were married over 32 years ago. We stayed at the Fairmont two nights before leaving and going on to Oahu and Kauai for two weeks. It was all planned by Wally and was a fairy tale honeymoon. Now, that's a romantic getaway.

Romancing the Palate

Day 12 at Brambleberry Cottage
Romancing the Palate
Do you have a favorite place to dine for special occasions – or the menu for a romantic banquet to serve at home? What makes it romantic?

My husband and I would usually eat supper at home, but by the end of the week, teachers are tired. Going out was a treat no matter where we'd go, usually close to home in Wiggins or Fort Morgan. One local restaurant, Memories, is fun because of the decor. Click and check this out to see all the murals and collections displayed on the wall.

To me, romance was everyday life, doing ordinary things, laughing together, and thinking alike on many things, disagreeing on a few, working together, playing together, and sharing. Romance was loving and taking care of each other no matter what.

How do you show a happy person, jumping up and down, yelling "I WON!!" Well, I won't answer that with a picture of myself, but I could! See it for yourself at Bernideen's!! And it's actually from my recipe blog that I started so I could find my recipes when I need them. I am so good at misplacing things, that I needed to do something!
