Sweethearts still: Tim and Patti Kaminski.
It’s Valentine’s Day my friends, and as Tina would say, “What’s love got to do with it?” Well, an awful lot if you forget February 14th because my beaus, you will be sorely lacking in the love category if Saint Valentine sails by without the appropriate amount of fanfare. So, gentlemen, consider this your official heads up: As I pen this reminder, you have 14 days to get your act together and get your girl something to make her face light up with love.
Don’t worry – we’re here to help. Our cover story has some heart-felt ideas to do something meaningful with your sweetheart and support your community as well. That’s spreading the love. We can also show you how to make some amazing red velvet pancakes with both a written recipe and a video – in case you require step by step guidance like I do. And, of course, our Valentine’s Day Gift Guide also highlights gifts from some local businesses that are sure to make your honey want to hug you!
The best thing about all of these ideas? They are right at your fingertips to purchase, create, sign up or make reservations with our new eZine – just a click away!
February also kicks off Rodeo season and celebrates Black History Month. What better way to celebrate both than at the 3rd Annual George Ranch Rodeo honoring Fort Bend’s Black Cowboy Legacy! This year’s Rodeo is on Saturday, February 19th and it promises to be the best one yet. Read all about this year’s events and entertainment on page 16. It’s the perfect place to bring your Rodeo sweetheart!
So many people have written about love – what it is, what it isn’t, what they believe it to be – from the Apostle Paul to Shakespeare to Taylor Swift. It’s certainly a slippery slope perhaps defined differently by each of us. German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche spent a great deal of his career writing about good and evil, but he had this to say about love: “There is always some madness in love. But there is also always some reason in madness.”
Cheers to the madness, and Happy Valentine’s Day! Stay focused on love – both giving and receiving.
