First and foremost, thank you for choosing Antonio’s today! In commemoration of the fact that I cannot take my sweetheart (just to be clear, that means my wife Lisa), or my other sweetheart, (further clarification…that means my daughter Katherine) out on Valentine’s Day, we will be offering our Valentine’s specials all week long.
We hope you enjoy them,
and may romance be in the air!
For me, Valentine’s Day is not just about the present; it’s also about the past as well as the future. I look forward to loving all the people that are yet to even be born into our family; but on a far more sentimental note, I also look back on the many I’ve loved. In particular, my mom. Every year she started our Valentine’s Day off with heart-shaped pancakes spiked with those little red cinnamon heart candies and a kitchen table sprinkled with other sweets and treats. From there we packed up our valentines’ cards for our classmates and made a holiday out of the simple gesture of telling people you care about them. It’s amazing how much the thought of my mom still fills me with warmth, happiness and a smile.
Speaking of my Mom; I can’t resist retelling her favorite Valentine’s Day joke:
Q: Who sends a thousand Valentine’s Day cards signed, guess who? A: A divorce lawyer
Well, that’s about it for this week. But as always, I am so appreciative that you are here supporting us; as we in turn try to support our community, other local businesses, and our local farms in every way we can. You have helped turn my dream into a reality, and my appreciation cannot be expressed in words… other than to simply say… thank you!
Steven
