St. Valentine's Day

The 13th?  Yup.  It's been a busy week - Shirley Temple passed on Monday, February 10th.  Then on Wednesday a sink hole collapsed part of the National Corvette Museum in Kentucky in which eight Corvettes were damaged or destroyed.

Wednesday night I flew into Boise so Jake and I would have a day to prepare for our annual Tamarack trip (Friday through Sunday) which meant we had our Valentine's Day together today!  Because of delays, I didn't get to Boise until almost midnight, thanks Jake for still picking me up!

On Thursday we exchanged cards and had a nice meal together at Jake's place.  I surprised Jake with bringing up the European version of Ticket to Ride which we've been enjoying.  Jake surprised me with a personalized, homemade running medal plaque!  WOW!

With all the festivities and love in the air, Republicans were not to be outdone!  They introduced the affectionately named "You're not married anymore bill".  Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Mike Lee (R-UT) co-sponsored the bill.  The bill would effectively prohibit the Federal government from recognizing same sex marriages if they live in a state that doesn't recognize them (like Idaho, right now).  Thank you to the citizens of Utah and Texas, we can always count on you for such stellar representation in Congress!
