Starting February 10, 2022

"When you love someone, you love the whole person as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be." - Leo Tolstoy (1828-1910), Russian author

So if you were hoping for a romantic excursion this weekend, but your significant other volunteered you to host a Super Bowl party, apparently you’re supposed to love that whole person as he or she is.

Hold on - you can do both! We deem it appropriate to celebrate Valentine’s Day Friday-Monday, with the big game a blip on the radar. Check out this special Valentine’s Day 2022 page for ideas and inspiration. We didn’t find any Super Bowl parties, though, so you’re on your own there.

How do you like this week's cover photo? We found it on Pinterest and thought it was cute. 

Happy Valentine’s Day, Happy Super Bowl LVI, and Happy Wanderings!

This Week:
