Happy Valentine’s Day. We had a low key weekend to kick off the holiday. I sent some flowers to Carrie at work and got them to her on Thursday. She brought them home from work on Friday so we could enjoy them together. They look pretty and smell really good. Friday night, we went out to White Linen, which is a fancy place here in Topeka. They were offering Valentine’s dinners all week, and it was fantastic.
Saturday was a day of basketball, with Washburn playing at home. The women tipped off at 1 and the men at 3, and Carrie and I made plans to go to both games. We had a fun time cheering on the Ichabods. For the women’s game, we sat in the comfy chairs, had a few drinks, and talked with some friends. For the men’s game, we moved to our season seats to watch. Both the women and men won their games.
The games were broadcast on WIBW Channel 13 out of Topeka and were also shown in Kansas City, Lawrence, and Wichita. I was hoping for a sold out crowd, but it was still a good turnout.
Saturday night we watched movies. There was not a lot planned for the rest of the evening or for Sunday. We needed a quiet weekend, so it was good to relax by watching basketball during the day and movies at night. I am hoping to get some reading in on Sunday and finish another book. I still need to read two books a month to meet my goal for the reading challenge.
Winding down for a Valentine’s Day Saturday. I hope you had a good Valentine’s Day and an enjoyable weekend.
