Table for 3

My hubby brought 2 ladies for a simple dinner on Valentine’s Day – his wife & his MIL.

Not a celebration, but like any other days, Vince & I would still have to take our dinner before heading home. And we’re worried mum would be all alone at home, dwelling in her sorrows on this particular occasion. So Vince was really sweet to suggest bringing her with us, just to dine in a restaurant near our place, to let her know that she still has us (& of coz 4 other children & 2 grand-daughters if she were to count). He asked me whether I would mind having this arrangement. I told him of course not... I should be the 1 asking him.

When we made reservation the day before, we saw the whole long list of tables reserved were for 2. Oyes there's 1 reservation for 3, with remark: 2 adults + 1 baby chair. So when hubby told the waitress to book a table for 3 pax, naturally she asked : "a baby chair?"

A very different dinner from the past years but definitely was a good one, with lots of casual talks thoughout the meal. We ended the night with yummy ice-cream & I think mum was somehow consoled.

This year... no card & no intention to celebrate.... but it's 1 of the best V. gift I got from my beloved hubby.
