Editor's Note by Leigh Gardener

I had such neNe last month. I asked my staff of stJlI weary Christmas shoppers to stop their holiday celebratJons and write artJdes of romance. I fully expected at least a glare or two, Instead they took their romantJc thoughts and ran with them.

Thank you, Susanne, for such a spec­tacular cover. Only a NPS student would try to fit In studies with romance. Or is It vise­versa? Regina GaMn contJnues this great cover Idea with our lead story, "What's Wrong With This PictJJre?'. Every wife or spouse here at NPS will have an easy tJme reIatJng to Regina.

Mollie and Chuck Baker both have romantJc stories to share with us this month. Mollie writes about the wonderful

benefits of a Marriage Enrounter weekend. Chuck gIves us a male's perspectJve with his story entJtJed, "Keeping It Alive". Together they define the word "romance".

If you long for a quiet evening this Val­entJne's Day, try Susan RomaneIli~ sweet­heart supper. Just add some soft music and a dozen red roses and you are all set

Do you need an enchanted evening away from home this February? If so, Kelly Gal­lagher has some terrific suggestJons for you. Kelly and Dennis desaibe some of the beautJful bed and breakfast Inns In our area.

Have a wonderful February. And may all your second looks not be for physics and calculus booksl

NAVY-MARINE CORPS RELIEF If you are like I was, you may have heard

of, but had never been directly Involved with, the Navy Relief SOCIety. If that Is so, your Impression of the SOCIety may be col­ored by common misconceptions. This month, I will address some of the more common myths.

MYTH: There Is too much red tape getting a Navy Relief loan In an emergency.

FACY! Navy Relief must have verification of an emergency. American Red Cross can usually obtain verification In less than 24 hours. If, however, you have emergency leave from your command, Navy Relief considers that suffident verification, and a loan can be granted for transportation Immediately.

MYTH: Only Officers' wives can work as Navy Relief volunteers.

FAcr: Navy Relief welcomes all volun­teers. Spouses of any service member are welcome. We have spouses of both retired and active duty members worklng In our

by Jennifer Church

office and thrift shop, In many different capacities, as well as some community members who lovtngly knit and crochet the Items In our layettes.

MYTH: Someone living beyond his or her means can borrow money every month

from Navy Relief. FAcr: Navy Relief helps with Short

Tenn Unanticipated Needs. This specifi­cally excludes helping someone to maintain a standard of IMng he or she cannot afford. We will help plan a reasonable budget, and then the service member must take the Initiative and stay within this budget If Navy Relief Is to assist

MYI'H: Navy Relief always has enough volunteers.

FAcr: With this command In particular, our volunteers are always graduating and moving on, leaving vacandes that can be filled only by people like youl We currently have openings for Interviewers, reception­Ists, thrift shop workers, and hospitality locker workers.

LA MESA NEIGHBORS TO THE RESCUE

I have always wanted to write an article for The Classmate, but I never rould come up with a topic that motivated me enough to sit down and write on~ntJI now. My family and I just moved from La Mesa to San Diego. I felt fortu­nate In that this Is only our third Navy move, but we are now 0 for 3. I say 0 for 3 because we have yet to have what rould be termed a "good move".

Our first move was from Pensarola to Vir­ginia Beach. Since It was just my husband and I then, we decided It would be just as easy to move ourselves. Which it would have been, had we the same amount of time as pre­vious dasses before we had to report to our new duty station. But we didn't My hus­band had to report 6 days after picking up his orders. We did It without too much dif­ficulty, but we swore we'd NEVER move ourselves again. (roo bad we didn't listen to ourselvesl)

The serond move was a disaster from the word go- and we didn't move our-

proximately $700 damage there); The truck never arrived so our stuff went into storage overnight; The driver decided to try to make more $ by unpacking our ward­robe boxes and stuffing 2-3 small boxes In the bottom of them, then cramming our dothes back on top; Our stereo system was stolen except for our turntable (guess he alreadY had one of those); etc., etc. We fig-

ured there had to be a better way, and we thought we had found It We thought wrongl

We decided with this move, we'd 00 part of It ourselves (where was that voice from

Pensacola?) and part using a "professional". Surely this had to work! And It mlght've If... We made arrange­ments with a guy to come In to pack us up and heip load the truck for a reasonable amount of money. Then all he had to 00 was drive the truck from Monterey to San Diego. No problem ... or so we thought! The ar­rangements were all made; we had our boxes, tape, wrapping

paper, the truck, everything was In order. Except for the "professional". He never bothered to show up. He never even both­ered to call. We got to know his answer­Ing machine very well, however. When the packing day arrived and he didn't, my hus­band and I were In shock. But we pro­ceeded ahead and starting packing. It wasn't too long before the word was out, and In rushed the cavalry.

The cavalry being our wonderful neigh­bors. Our wonderful neighbors who were there when our daughter vvas born, when our one car needed a new transmission, and we needed a sitter for "just a little while". These people unselfishly gave up part of their Sunday and the entire Colum­bus Day holiday to pack boxes, watch chil­dren, load a truck and trailer and provide meals. There are a lot of things to dislike about being a military famJly (moving tops my list), but I wouldn't trade the friends we've made for anything.

By the way, we did get to San DIego with 110 damage, thanks to those Special friends.

30 MILLION by Susanne de Ura Laskowski

I finally did It. After nine months of liv­Ing In california, I bought my first Lotto ticket. Actually It was three. The first two tickets I purchased, the romputEr ranOOmly picked my six numbers for me. But then after I got home I started thinking, there were certainly significant numbers like blrthdates, ages, and anniversaries that might be better than the ones randomly assigned to me. SO I went back, handed over another buck and chose 3, 5,35, 34, 12, 43. I was satisfied. I don't think I would have coped too well If a romplete stranger from another d~ won by using the ages of my son, daughter, husband, myself, my birthday, and reversing the numbers of my age. There .. .1 was set. All I had to do was sit back and wait for saturday's drawing and match my winning numbers In the paper to launch me Into the 30 million dollar world of the Rich and Famous.

Of course, I have given a great deal of thought to being rich and famous. Most people's big, big mistake Is that they run right out and Immediately make an Impul­sive purchase of a new expensive Item like: a mansion, condo at Vall, boat. sports car, fur, or some big gaudy diamond. They have It all wrong. The first thing you want to get

Is a housekeeper. That's rlght-a house­keeper.

For some unknown reason, this essen­tial Job Is ronslstentiy overlooked and ig­nored by the media, which Is pure negli­gence. Think about It. How much fun Is a mansion If you still have to mop the Im­ported Italian marble floors, polish the mahogany, and dean all ten toilets bowls? For some reason practicall~ goes out the window when It comes to "champagne wishes and caviar dreams".

completely with the amount of fun you can have.

My mind already had the 30 million neatly appropriated so, of course, I was more than mildly disappointed when 35 tumed out to be the only number Lotto and I had In common. As I stared at the paper I realized I had to say "goodbye" to my empire, the one that had taken shape over the past few days: the manSion, the horse, designer clothes, the ronvertlble, and Eu­ropean vacations. It was hard ... but nothing hurt quite as badly ... as letting the house­keeper go.

I was slWng at a comer table, humming under my breath, "Your mama oon'tdance and your daddy oon't rock n' roll." My foot was tapping and the dance floor was crowded with merry revelers. My husband and I sat, like grandparents at a vveddlng, staring solemnly at the "youngsters" danc­Ing, occasionally wagging our heads In dis­may at a very short sklrt or a particularly energetic dancer.

I am married to a man who "doesn't dance". It's one of those absolutes In our marriage, as In he will absolutely never change his mind about dancing. I have trted plying him with liquor, threatening dire consequences, begging etc., and I can't even persuade him to slow dance. I suspect that at some early point In his social career he attended a high school dance. Perhaps he stepped out on the dance floor, let loose and someone pointed or smirked, or he Imagined they pointed and smirked and he decided never to dance again.

He thinks he will look silly. It Is no use explaining to him that many of the people who are dancing look silly. He Is the klnd of man who makes up his mind once and rarely changes It That essentially makes me a waltflolNer, one of those pitiful women destined to dance with her father, an occa­Sional nephew, or the husband of a sympa­thetic fliend.

Dandng has always been to me the epit­ome of romance. My mother and father (who did dance) could still dance a stately waltz even after they had been married for forty years. Some of my best memortes of long forgotten high school boyfriends are the languorous moments of slow dance clinging that marked adolescent love. I watched "DIrty Dandng" a dozen times, thlilled by the romance between Patrick SNayze and Baby.

As Valentine's Day approached, I again considered the romance quotient In my marrtage and wondered If the man In my life would ever ask the all-Important ques­tion, "care to dancer Had the romance

I have reconsidered the 'romance quo­tient' and have rationalized that I may have to look elsewhere for the ever elusive romantic formula. I must consider that a man who will grudgingly run to the store at 10 p.m. for feminine hygiene products, who will bake a perfect strawberry-rhu­barb pie (my favortte) for my homecoming, and who will peer Into the dark recesses of my mouth for yet another Imagined den­tal calamity to calm my nerves deserves some melit on the plus side of the roman­tic equation.

He asked me to be his partner once, more than thirteen years ago. And with the absolute conviction of a man who rarely changes his mind, he hasn't switched JErt­ners between dances, even when the strains of a romantic melody INere hard to dlscem In our marriage, or when I occa­sionally stomped heavily on one of his feet

I am still saving that all-Important last dance of the evening for the only partner I really care to dance ·N1th. He Is the not-50-tall but quite dark and handsome man seated next to me. And If he ever gets up to dance, I am sure It will be with me.

A Pizza Hut parking lot may not strike you as a romantic location, but something about the amblanoeJust seemed to set me off that January night seven years ago. I had made a life changing decision In the weeks previous. I chose to use the money I'd squirreled away for a 12-Gauge shot­gun, to purchase a diamond ring. With my glrifriend's best pal In tow, I took off to shop for this gem. That night under the beautiful moonlit skies of the scenic Sh­enandoah Valley, dressed In my sharply pressed VMI unlfonn, I would ask this lady to be my wife. The speech was well re­hearsed In my head. I picked her up; "Be cool" I kept saying. Dinner was over and not much was eaten. We sat In the park­Ing lot of the elegant Pizza Hut of Buena Vista, Virginia. As we gazed at the old Chevys racing around the parking lot of the nearby Dairy Queen, the sound of squeal­Ing tires and yahoos filled the air like a concert. My grand speech turned Into, "Here this Is for you" as I handed her the ring. I waited a second to see her reaction, as If working a surface bait to tease a giant bass. YESII She took the bait. That's how It started. Now, Is this a steamy romance or what?

Today the fire burns even hotter. My wife Is also the mother of our four girls. In each of the girls a tiny facet of their mother shows.

Here's what we do: Take the family on a picnic; It's cheap and fun.

This seems to have been when the school work has been particularly chal­lenging; after seven quarters, she has seen many of those.

A Weekend to Remember

On a chilly, starless night In NOllember, a brown statlon wagon makes Its way east on callfomla State Route 156, towards a blinking yellow light The couple In the car sits silently, each absorbed In their own IIWe bubble of apprehension. The butter­flies In her stomach begin to agitate more as they approach their destJnatlon.

The car makes a right rum at the blink­Ing light In the glow of the headlights, they search for their next landmark. "There It IS· , she announces, "St Frands Retreat House. Follow the amm." The car makes another left turn, then a right, then another right, follOWing the arrows which lead them down a narrow, winding tree­lined lane. To their right, they can make out the outline of hills against the cold autumn sky. The road winds on and on among the hills which are now all around them. Their excitement grows as they begin to see other cars, oneJust disappear­Ing around a bend In front of them and another approaching from a distance be­hind thenn. They know IIerY little about this adventure they are about to undertake, only what the brochure had told theon. But they dld know that for the first tlme In their four and a half years of marriage, they were about to spend an entlre weekend alone together. Well, sort of alone. The kids were being well-cared for at a friend's

house, and all other necessary arrange­ments had been taken care of by the week­end ooordinators. The brochure had prom­Ised that If they had a good marriage -which they did - this weekend would enrich It and help make It a great marriage. It had also promised that there would be no group sharing, only husbands and wives sharing privately In the Intlmacy of their own rooms. Nellertheless, they felt some­what skeptlcal and apprehensive as they drove on Into the night

At last they passed through a set of stone gates. Below them on their right, they could see several lighted buildings nestled at the foot of a hilI. They could see cars up ahead, filing neatly Into parking spaces, and people moving to and fro be­tween the buildings and the parking lot As they pulled their car to a stop In Its ap­pointed space, a man and a woman emerged, from nowhere It seemed. Amid smiling IntroductJons, they hOisted the couple's suitcase and said "C'mon, we'll show you to your room." The couple fol­lowed uncertainly behind them, over­whelmed by the warm kindness of these strangers.

Inside, they were greeted by two more smiling people who handed them ready­made nametags and assigned theon a room. On they went, following their suitcases through the dimly lit, door-lined hallway to room 80. "Here we are; said the man as he put the suitcase ),1 the room, "Hope you enjoy your weekend", and with a knowing smile they were gone.

The room was sparsely furnished. There were two Single beds, a small desk with a chair, and an aqJolnlng bathroonl. It was pleasant and cozy, although certainly not elegant It didn't matter anyway; af-

Everyone seemed strained, as If they oould not bear the thought of any public display of affection. Here they were In a society that glamorized romance, with a room full of people who seemed strangely unroman­tic.

The question Is posed to her and after a moment to collect her thoughts, she begins without hesitation, "First of alii am an Individual.

I think the key philosophy In life, that I have, Is that I know who I am, what I am and where I'm going:

The Important thing In life Is to benefit from It What I mean by that Is, to learn from It and that Includes mistakes as well as the correct things we do. We learn from all our experiences. I've always ad­dressed my life, whether personally or professionally In that manner."

Born and raised In Norther.n california, Sylvia Varni left home to attend college at Dominican COllege In San Raphael, califor­nia. She studied nursing at St Joseph COl­lege of Nursing, also In San Raphael. Fol­lowing graduation, she not only became a registered nurse, but also Leon Panetta's bride.

During his studies at Santa Oara Univer­sity, In Santa Oara, california, Leon Panetta enrolled In the Reserve OffIcer's Training COrps. Upon graduation, he received a draft defer.ment from the Vietnam conflict to attend Santa Oara's law SdlOoi. Follow­Ing successful completion of law school, Lt and Mrs. Leon Panetta were off to their first asSignment

"Our first assignment," Mrs. Panetta recalled, "was the Basic OffIcer Infantry COurse at Fort Benning, Georgia. His branch was Intelligence, but In those days everyone was reporting to Benning: Be­cause of his mother's terminal Illness, the Panetta's received a compassionate reas­signment to Fort Ord, california.

Uvlng In quarters described by Mrs.

by Regina P. Galvin

Panetta as "fantastic housing", the Panet­tas and their two young sons lived at their Fort Ord address for 18 months. In time, the Panetta family would grow to Include one more son.

Reminded of the early days and the frequent traveling required of the military lifestyle, Mrs. Panetta reminisced about a particular drive across country. "I remem­ber driving the southernmost route across the states In our V.W The boys were In the back and It was quite adventurous. "

"I understand what the spouse of a military person endures. You get to meet different people and have different experi­ences-that's not to say It Isn't difficult Having been In for just two years I under­stand that But It was often an exciting time:

The reminiscing and conversation con­tinued. Mrs. Panetta then began to discuss the role of being part of a family when a member of that family Is serving his or her country. She commented, "I feel I have a camaraderie with the spouse of someone In the military,. because, my husband Is pro­viding a service to his country also, as an elected official."

Uke most military families, the Panet­tas also endure sacrifices. Referring to this Mrs. Panetta said, "There are the absences. My husband lives most of the time back east and then comes home on weekends to meet with the constituents. There are posi­tive parts of that facet of your relationship. You are forced to live Independently. That

places you In a situation where you can develop as an Indlvldua~velop more of your own strengths and capabilities and strengthen your own character. That's also true for the absent spouse."

COmmenting on frequent separations she said, "My philosophy Is, the experiences In life that I have are Important to me because I can learn and grow from them. Does that mean that there's not loneliness? Of course, there's loneliness. Sometimes there Is that feeling of, oh ~, I wish I had someone here to help me."

"When the kids were smaller it was very difficult I was raising them pretiy much by myself. It was almost like being a Single parent, and that, Is a challenge."

"I was the one who made the decision to live In california and not move east (Washington D.C.). I realized It was my decision and therefore I had to learn to deal with It"

"When a \\Oman marries someone in the military, that Is part of her decision. It's a matter of dealing with the situation .. Sometimes that's hard, and I understand that because I've experienced It"

Although by profession Sylvia Panetta Is a registered nurse, she has been the DIstrict Administrator for Congressman Panetta for the last fourteen years. This Is a volunteer position for Mrs. Panetta. Because of nepotism laws she receives no salary. Mrs. Panetta Is Involved heavily In her husband's career. Addressing this Issue she comments, "Since I've been doing this, there are more

and more spouses of congressmen and women Involved In their partner's career. I believe that before you get married you'd better know what you're getting Into. By that, I mean, find out what are the com­mitments. I frankly believe that now, In the 90's, the spouse does not have to feel as obligated to show or be a part of herlhis spouse's career. There Is a IIttie more Inde­pendence allowed. I see that In the mili­tary:

"You find more and more women who are married to people In the military, who lead their own life. This Is also true In poli­tics. What I'm saying Is that It is an Individ­ual decision.

When an Individual serves his or her country, they represent the governmenl Inevitably, there will be times when publiC opinions will be In conflict to the govern­ment's position. Whether one Is serving their country In the military or In the U.S. COngress, It can be difficult to bear the brunt of hostJle public opinion: When asked how she reacts when the policies her husband represents come under critidsm,

Mrs. Panetta responded, "First of all, this (our country) Is a democracy and everyone has a right to their opinion. If you can operate on that basis then It Isn't difflcull secondly, you have to maintain a certain amount of ollJectJvlty. What I may feel strongly about In one way, someone else may feel strongly about In another. Who am I to say I am all righr.> To understand that we all have a right to our opinion, that Is the beauty of democracy. "

"When I see someone outside demon­strating about something, whether It hap­pens to be that they agree or disagree with the congressman, that doesn't bother me at all. That's what leon Panetta happens to stand for because he believes In democ­racy. " Mrs. Panetta added that essential to surviving criticism Is to focus on "OllJectJv­Ity and respect for other people's opinions."

As an afterthought she added, "People talk about getting a thick skin; I don't agree that you have to get a thick skin. What you do get Is a greater sensitivity. If you're really wise and you learn from this life, you will have a greater sense of other people's feelings and needs, and of their opinions and vlevvs. If you accept people as Individu­als, It Is a lot easier to accept their views

and where they are coming from". What does the future hold for the Pan­

ettas?"1 will say, and I think this Is true for a military family, the lifestyle (we're living) Isn't forever. There will be a time when leon and I will do something else. There will be a time when leon and I say this Is It, we've given our service and now It's time to go on with something else. I think It's Important to evaluate constantly where you should be going and what you are doing, and I reserve the right to do so. "

With the phones once again In a non­stop barrage of ringing, the office Is a bastion of productive fury. One can't enter or leave the 16th Congressional District OffIce without the sense of knowing that this office gets down to business. Further­more, one can't meet Sylvia Panetta and not understand that she Is the catalyst for thatenvlronmenl

The question remains, who Is Sylvia Panetta? She Is, by her own admission, an Individual, a wife, a mother and a profes­sional. However, It Isn't diffICUlt from 0b­servation to know that she also Is COn­gressman Panetta's biggest fan, and surely his most loyal constituenl

1VJmantic Tscapes by Kelly and Dennis Gallagher

Hoping to escape from messy kltdlens, dirty diapers, and the thesis writing syndrome, my husband and I needed a weekend away. What better occaSion, we thought, than Valentine's Day. We decided to treat ourselves to a getaway weekend In a romantic Victorian mansion. While looking for the perfect place we found that Padflc Grove has a wide assortment of Bed and Breakfasts to choose from.

Since there are so many to share with you, we dedded to list a few of our favorites, but please realize that there are many more romantic possibilities around the Monterey Peninsula.

The Centrella 612 Central Avenue 372-3372

This historic Victorian bed and breakfast Inn, located In Pacific Grove, features twenty-sIx rooms, suites, and quaint cot­tages. The Inn was built In the 19th cen­tury. In the morning, a California break­fast Is served on a massive oak table which dominates the parior's furnishings. In the evening, the same setting Is used for fresh baked cookies and other specialties of the day. We Imagined ourselves sitting by the large fireplace sipping sherry. Though close to home, one could feel miles away In such an atmosphere.

The rates range from $80 to $165. The room rate Includes a full buffet break-

fast and the evening hors' d' oeuvres. The Inn also has a wonderful romantic getaway package called "Remember the Romance.·

The Gatehouse Inn 225 Central Avenue 649-8436

The Gatehouse Inn Is a charming his­toric Victorian, constructed In 1884, situ­ated In the heart of Padflc Grove. There are eight unique guest rooms, each dec0-rated with Victorian and 20th century an­tiques with touches of art deco. The rooms are named for their style of decor. My favorite room Is Langford Suite. The or­nate fireplace Is surpassed only by a spec­tacular view of Monterey Bay. Guests are greeted each morning by an expanded

continental breakfast served beside a roar­Ing fire. The guests also have the option of eating their feast In the cozy surround­Ings of their own room. Tea, sherr)( and local hors' d'oeuvres specials are prepared In the late afternoon hours. The Inn cap­tures the warmth of a by-gone era.

The rooms range In pnce from $95 for the Victorian room to $165 for the Langford Suite. The room rate Indudes a continental breakfast and the afternoon tea.

Green Gables Inn 104 5th Street and Ocean Avenue 375-2095

This romantic Queen Anne-styled mansion, builtin 1888, was owned by the

ClASSMATE 19

Post family. The Inn offers eleven guest rooms, most with a view of the ocean. The Inn's romantic atmosphere Immediately reveals Itself to guests upon first entering the parior. It Is decorated with Impressive antiques, an original carousel horse, and a unique fireplace framed with stained glass window.>. Bay window alcoves beckon visitors to experience the spectacular view of Monterey Bay. A full gourmet breakfast Is served. A wine and cheese repast In the late afternoon Is also available. To end a wonderful relaxing day, the staff tums down your bed leaving a rose and ch0co­lates for their guests.

The Inn provides a happy hour with rom­pllmentary wine, beer, soft drinks, and hors' d'oeuvres around the fireplace In the parior. After spending a night away from the NPS grind, you awaken to the alluring aroma of the Inn's own spedal blend of coffee. Breakfast can be enjoyed In bed (that's my kind of breakfast), on one of the ocean patios, or In the rountly French-tiled momlng room. Televisions and telephones are ronsplcuously absent from the guest rooms - a fealllre we found delightful. This inn has spectacular view.; and wonder­ful service.

The rate for rooms ranges from $125 to $205. The fee Indudes breakfast, happy hour, and a spedal take home memento of your stay at Roserox Inn.

The Seven Gables 1m 555 Ocean View Boulevard 372-4341

The Inn specializes In a generous sit-down breakfast served with dasslc elegance In the grand dining room. A four o'dock "High Tea" Is set out on the sunporch that has a fantastic view of Monterey Bay and Lover's Point This Inn Is an unforgettable treat with elegant furnishings, beautJful gardens, and a spectacular view of the rocky coast­line.

DINNER AT FISH AND BASIL

by Jennie Culpepper

There are many popular romantlc res­taurants on the peninsula that are perfect for you to take your valentlne. FIsh and BaSil, located at 105 ocean View Blvd .. Inside the American 11n Cannery Outlet center In Pacific Grove, may be one you had not thought of.

Upon entering this European style atrium, you'll fOrget you're under the same roof as the crowded warehouse style shop­ping center. The high ceiling and golden lighting create an airy romantic atmosphere and the floor to ceiling windows shOlN off a scenic view of Monterey Bay.

FIsh and Basil offers a moderately priced menu featlJring, as you may have guessed, a wide variety of seafood Items Including fresh salmon and snapper. If you enjoy pasta, try the tasty homemade cheese tortellinl with smoked salmon In cream sauce. For the landlubber, steak and rack of lamb are also available. The generous main course portions, ranging from $8.00-$15.00, do not Indude salad. The soups and salads will add another $4.00 to your bill.

If you have a soft spot for sweets, skip the appetlzer to save room for one of the scrumptlous desserts. The dessert and af­ter dinner drink list Is extensive. Anything you may crave from pie to mousse to Ice cream or tortes Is available. Particularly outstanding are the creme filled tortes topped with homemade hot fudge and whipped cream, otherwise known as prof­lterolls.

While the food and atmosphere are wonderful, the service IsJust average. Our walter was congenial but didn't go out of his way to check up on us. You'll most likeiy need to signal yours for refills of your beverage and your check. But if It's a ro­mantlc dinner you're seeking, you may not even notice the lack of extra outside atten­tion.

The atmosphere Is on the formal side but any attJre from casual to formal Is welcome. FIsh and Basil serves lunch and dinner seven days a week and also a brunch on Sunday. Reservations are suggested and can be made by calling 649-0707.

• Sweetheart Supper. by Susan Romanelli

Acrordlng to Alfred, Lord "Tennyson, "In spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.· While that may be true of spring (or maybeJust of the romantlc lord), I have serious doubts about midwinter (and my husband).

Around our house, unless I strategically place chocolate hearts and florist advertisements on the computer keyboard by the 12th, Valentine's Day passes without notice. That's a lot of work for a bunch of rosebuds which, until given to me with a flourish, had taken up residence In a bucket outside Del Monte Produce.

This year I have secured a promise that CUpid's arrows will be mutually exchanged. While his Idea of a romantlc dinner was my fa· vorite beverage, (expensive champagne), and his favorite snack, (microwave popcom), we have compromised on an easy-to-prepare supper, getting the little one to bed early, a lot of candles, and rentlng "Pretty Woman" Instead of" RoboCop 11".

With a little luck, he'll remember to stop at Del Monte Produce on the way home, too.

VALENTINE WREATH by Beth Hedges

Several years ago my mom found a new craft making wreaths from styrofoam and fabric. She said that anyone could do It - so I took her up on the Idea. After making several wreaths for friends, I've finally made one for myself. Here Is Ma's method for a great gift.

MATERIALS 1/4 yard each of 4 different patterns of material

(should have one that contrasts) 1 8"· 11" st;yrofoam wreath - round or, as I've used here, heart shaped 1 yard each of 3 compllmental)' colors of 1/4" ribbon 1 straight pin 1 cutide pusher or something similar

I NSfRUcrlONS; 1. Use pinking shears and cut each 1/4

yard of fabric Into squares 3"x3". You will have a nice stack of squares for each color.

2. Begin on the Inside rim of wreath, (No.1 on diagram). Place the point of the cuticle pusher In the center of the fabric square, and pull the fabric tight around the stick with the printed side of the fabric against the stick. Insert fabric Into st;yro­foam with cutide pusher approximately 11

4"·1/2". Be careful not to tear through the fabric or apply too much pressure to the wreath. Alternate colors of fabric all the way around. 11le fabric squares should

be Inserted approximately 1/2" apart. 3. Continue the same procedures on the

face of the wreath, (No.2 on diagram). 4. Move onto the outer rim of wreath,

(No.3 on diagram); then back to the face of wreath, halfway between your first and second row, (No. 4 on diagram); then half way between your second and third row, (No. 5 on diagram).

5. You may have to fill In some open areas to give the wreath a full effect

6. With the ribbon, tie a small bow having long tails and pin It to the wreath.

Your wreath Is now ready to be hung. You can customize these to any season or color scheme. My mom made me a beau· tiful Olrlstrnas one last year. I've not only hung It, but I've used It with a candle In the middle as a centerpiece for my table. Be creative. There Is no limit to your lmaglna· tion. THANKS, MA, FOR ANOTHER GREAT IDEAl!!
