Message from Gail Ridings, TallGrass Owner

My husband and I are hoping that we will meet my 86-year-old father and his wife for a family beach vacation this month so we can celebrate a couple of birthdays and Valentine's Day together. My Dad and his wife are struggling with health issues and we aren't certain that they'll be able to make the trip.

Those of us past middle age (like me), who are still fortunate enough to have a parent alive, are facing challenges associated with their aging. We celebrated Christmas with my Dad in Kansas City in an assisted living facility for the first time. It's a lovely place, but certainly different from being in their own home. Along with the worry about their health, comes the realization that this chapter of my own life is not that far away. It's bizarre to begin to think about a future that includes retirement, slowing down, wills and health issues when it seems only yesterday that my focus was often solely on fun and excitement.

As we all know, life has various stages or passages and despite our wishes, we are where we are. So, I'm grateful for my 60-year-old body that is pretty darn great and I can still get on my horse and ride the trails. Just last week, I witnessed a 72-year-old barrel racing grandmother at the National Western Stock Show! Yeehaw!

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone. I hope that you spend the day and/or month with loved ones young and old!

Share the Love at TallGrass

Valentine's Day at TallGrass is a very special occasion. In fact, we get so excited about a holiday promoting love that we extend the celebration for 10 days and offer you extra special treats.

The Ten Days of Tango, February 6 through 15, puts the spotlight on our popular TallGrass Tango side-by-side couples massage, when all Tango guests receive a coupon good for a choice of two glasses of house wine or champagne or a decadent desert for two at one of our favorite Evergreen restaurants, Willow Creek. Use the coupon on your way home from a TallGrass visit or any time during February. You'll find Willow Creek at the beginning of Upper Bear Creek Road, overlooking Evergreen Lake, in a beautiful mountain valley setting - just like TallGrass. Maybe that's why we love it so much!

There are more treats in store for you in February. All month long, every gift certificate purchase of $350 or more comes with a complimentary gift boxed TallGrass Signature Robe (retail value $95). Embroidered with the TallGrass logo and made of polyester and satin, with a French terry lining, this is the same luxurious robe with the big pockets and roll-up collar that you enjoy at TallGrass. To redeem this offer, the traditional style gift certificates (please, this offerdoes not apply to instantly printable styles) can be purchased online, by phone or in person and quantities are limited.

Either way - or both ways - you receive a gift from TallGrass and we think that's a loving gesture for Valentine's Day.
