Food and Entertaining
by lwca.com
The first thing you should do is write a note to those who mean the most to you and thank them for all the things they do for you to make you feel special. It will be the greatest gift you can give them. We all do things for people that kind of go unnoticed, so it’s time to notice and write it in a note.
When creating your February event of any kind, no matter how small- make it a heart-love theme! Pink and red colors and foods create the mood.
Some heart ideas for a special meal-
Cut heart shapes out of anything you can! Biscuits, crescent dough, pie dough, pizza dough, carrots, potatoes, cheese slices, peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, salami, toasts, strawberries, - the thoughts are endless! You can even cut your chicken breast and beef tenderloin steaks in heart shapes- very easily!
Here are some pictures to spark some interest in entertaining!
Just take a small moment to create a memorable event. It will be remembered!
“LOVE is in the air!”

Not-so Newlywed Game Night
Back by popular demand! Do you think you know everything about your lifepartner (or your closest friend) after all these years? Put your marriage and/or friendship to the test with Leisure World’s Not-so Newlywed Game! Everyone can play with their spouse or partner of choice. Just refresh your memories to hone your recall on things like
“Where did you first meet?”, “How long have you been together or if friends, known each other?”, “Who is more high maintenance?”, and “Are they morning or night people?”
