Valentine's Day

Lots of people are looking for the love of a lifetime this Valentine’s Day. John and Ann Betar have already found it.

Valentine’s Day is upon us. While we heart this most romantic of romantic days, we must warn you that asking that special someone to take your hand in marriage isn’t always the best idea.

Children's unfiltered honesty can be as heart-meltingly adorable as it is embarrassing. (What parent hasn't wished for an invisibility cloak after a loud proclamation by their child in the middle of the grocery store?)

I want to make this years Valentine's Day a special one.  I figure if I plan ahead, I have a better chance at creating something memorable.  My husband and I have our favorite spots to eat and hang out in Oneonta, but maybe I should break that mold and find a new favorite restaurant or club.  That is where you come in.
