PHOTOS: Golden Couples Honored At Senior Center

Valentine's Dance features nearly 30 couples married at least 50 years.

They true love is like a fine wine -- it grows better with age. But that expression really doesn't do justice to a love that joins together two individuals as one flesh over the course of a lifetime. In truth, true love is also like shoe leather, growing tougher and stronger over the years. And it's a lot like clay -- molded into shape with care but not reaching its true potential until be tested by the fires of life.

Seven of those couples were honored during the dance, receiving gifts and citations from the State Legislature, presented by state Rep. Jim Miceli.

Food For Thought

The Right Bubbly Can Make Your Valentine's Day

Columnist Bob Leo takes a look at some options when choosing a sparkling wine.

What is more romantic than a quiet night with your best girl ( or guy ) and a bottle of your favorite bubbly?   Right away you thought champagne, didn't you? Well all that sparkles isn't French. Certainly the Champagne region of France produces the most famous and some of the finest sparkling wines in the world. Many other countries produce very good sparklers. Espumantes from Portugal, Spanish cavas, pezsgo from Hungary, German sekt, and plethora of Italian wines are most definitely worthy of an intimate evening. Champagne is only one of many French sparkling wines and Italy produces asti, francacorta, trento, proscecco and the rarest of all sparkling wines, the ruby red brachetto.   Bubbles in wine are produced by carbon dioxides.

In Valentine's Day Quandry? Get Her A Day At The Spa

Flowers are nice and candy is dandy but a day at the spa is something she will always remember.

Wondering what to get your wife or girlfriend for Valentine's Day? Trying hard to think outside the box of chocolates. Good for you. First tip, she probably doesn't think the monster truck rally is as romantic as you do. And a sexy nightgown? Let's be honest, isn't that really more of a gift for you?

We're talking facials, manicures, pedicure, skin treatments, perhaps hair and makeup as well. It's a relaxing day in which she is treated like a queen.
