Our Christmas gift to each other last year will serve as our Valentine’s Day gift also, since we will be traveling for a long-awaited excursion next week. As long-time lovers of all things Eagles, we decided in October on a dream whim while playing dominoes during a family vacation that we should definitely go see them in concert at the Sphere. One of our daughters lives near the area and offered to pick us up from the airport and show us the lay of the land.
It didn’t take arm-twisting. We hopped off the Mexican Train long enough to buy two tickets, make a reservation at a nearby resort, and book airfare, then looked in each other’s eyes and said, “Merry Christmas.” One of our sons decided to join in the fun also, minus the concert tickets. That’s how we roll on the festivity meter. No gifts under the tree, but a memory-maker instead that will be appreciated long after whatever sweaters we would have opened.
My Favorite Eagles Song is Hidden in these Lines
my soul mate and I
went for an experience
instead of gifts
last Christmas
so next week we will
fly west
to hear The Eagles
at The Sphere
but I confess:
I cheated and
took it to the limit
with two
concert shirts
because, you know…..
stocking stuffers
Common Threads 
That is real love!
