Paul calls this day, the Hallmark get rich day! Valentines Day is also about celebrating Heart Health and so my day began with a trip to the local clinic to donate a vial of blood so that my doctor can verify that my heart and blood are in good condition, a task that I have to repeat most months so no big deal. I did treat myself to a nice Grande, non-fat Latte afterwards at the local Starbucks. Paul did splurge on the traditional heart shaped box of chocolates from Walgreen’s. He thought a box of 7 chocolates would be great because it would say “I Love You” for 7 days! Right! They will be gone by this evening!!!
We have come to Lake Havasu City for more than the bridge, sunshine and the Golden Corral! This weekend is Winter Blast which is the Western Pyrotechnic Associations get together to blow up lots of fireworks in the desert! On Thursday evening (Valentine’s Day) we spent 4 hours watching lots of fireworks being let off by this group in an event they call Open Shooting! These guys come here and have an area where anyone that is certified can fire off their stuff! 4th of July on steroids! We will go back Friday night for more of the same and then on Saturday and Sunday evenings there will be a big show of really spectacular fireworks.
Paul loves this stuff. He use to crew on different firework events many years ago and if he had done his research we would have been attending this event as members so he could blow up something or be really close to someone who was! We found out last night that membership is $80 and the event is $135 and you get to learn how to build the bombs and fire them off! I see Lake Havasu in February in our future!
