You and a guest could make this adorable dessert during your stay at the Royal Park Hotel in Rochester during the month of February. It's one of three desserts being offered in this month's Valentine's Day package.
This big-eyed cat is the object of my affection! I rescued him and brought him into my home 5 years ago this Valentine's Day.  He's a huge lap cap, always purring, and lately, he's been hiding underneath the sheets! Without saying a word, he can bring me to tears from laughter. I am a lucky girl for having this guy in my life. He is the best Valentine's Day surprise I could have ever wished for!

UPDATE: The contest is now closed and we'll be announcing the winner, Thursday, Feb. 9. Thanks for your entries!

I meant to write about how my wife and I met, it's a nice story but I hit enter before I did, and now I can't see how to update my comment or edit it. Is there a way to do this, or can I delete and reload it and then write about how we met?

Sounds like a fun getaway!

Will there be one winner for just Northville Patch contestants or will it be combined with others in the surrounding areas...Canton, Novi, etc... ???
