The November/December 2023 “Ask a Kupuna” column posed this question: “Do you have a favorite Valentine’s Day story to share?”
Marlene wrote, “After a disappointing experience the year before at an upscale downtown restaurant, we decided to never go out to dinner again on a popular occasion. Instead, we had a nice quiet candlelit dinner at home on Valentine’s Day in 2014.
“We purchased lobster tails and side dishes at our local market and enjoyed a delicious dinner in the comfort, quiet and convenience of our little rental cottage on a cattle ranch in California.”
Marlene and her husband have returned to Hawai‘i and enjoy all our local foods. They are also looking forward to attending this year’s Annual Senior Valentine’s dance. “See you there.”
