A Romantic Valentine's Day Interlude
One day each year the world focuses its attention and energies on the greatest human emotion of all: love. And on this day of hearts everyone is acutely aware of love's many facets. We show our love to our sister, brother, child, father, mother, wife, husband, lover, boyfriend, girlfriend, friend, and even persons of acquaintance. But when one dissects the occasion, the one pair of people that most benefit from such shower of affection are those who are truly madly deeply in love. So what's the best gift you can give to your one and only
amore for Valentine's Day?
One of the oft-given advice is to treat him or her to a romantic dinner for two complete with the accessories of love: soft music, candlelight, flowers and chocolates. But why not include a limousine tour around town? As everyone knows, limousines are equipped with all the amenities of a five-star hotel. There are the complimentary bottle of champagne, glass flutes, flowers, chocolates, mints, music, videos, soft leather seats, a red carpet welcome, and a uniform-clad chauffeur to drive you wherever you wanted to go. Plus you don't have to worry about keeping your eyes on the road. You and your date can focus on each other for the rest of the evening. Don't think too much about the chauffeur's presence. The staff and drivers of limo companies are trained to be discreet and efficient, much like a well-run English household managed by a family butler.
Another benefit of renting a limousine is taking advantage of promos and discounted packages for special groups and occasions. Usually these packages include services from first-class spas, salons, restaurants, hotels, and resorts. If you're going to spend a lot of money on a Valentine's date, why not take full satisfaction from the offered extras? Valentine's Day comes once in a year, and a you have a lifetime ahead of you with the one you truly love.

Granite Springs, New York
Granite Springs is a small community in Somers, New York. It is quite small, containing very few buildings other then houses. It has a very low crime rate and the largest event to have happened there in years was the burning down of the largest and oldest house in Granite Springs, the house of Phillip Smith, his wife, and his two 12 year old twins Henry and Katy.
Granite Springs is one of five communities in the Town of Somers. The other communities are Amawalk, Baldwin Place, Lincolndale, and Shenorock. The Town of Somers is located in the northern part of Westchester County, NY.
The town we call Somers was originally occupied by Kitchawanks, part of the Mohegan tribe, who called the land Amapaugh, meaning
'fresh water fish.' This land was located in the eastern segment of an 83,000-acre tract that King William III of England granted to Stephanus Van Cortland of New York City in 1697. The part of Van Cortland Manor that ultimately became Somers and Yorktown was known as the Middle District, or Hanover. Settlement in the Somers area began after Van Cortlandt’s death in 1700 and the final partition of his estate in 1734. Early European settlers included tenants and freeholders from neighboring areas, among them English, Dutch, French Huguenots and Quakers. It wasn’t until March 7, 1788, when the first town meeting was held at an inn, owned by Benjamin Green, that the town named Stephentown was established. However, there already existed a Stephentown in Renssealaer County. The resulting confusion, particularly in mail delivery, lead to a change in the name to Somerstown and in 1808 to the Town of Somers. The town was named as a tribute to Captain Richard Somers, a young naval officer from New Jersey who lost his life in the Tripolitan War. A memorial in West Somers Park was erected in his honor at Memorial Day ceremonies in 1958.
Today, numerous 19th century historic buildings remain including Mount Zion Church (1794) and the Wright-Reis Homestead (1867). The Somers Historical Society oversees these properties and makes them available for public visitation several times a year.
