It’s hard to believe that it is almost Valentine’s Day again. But that is a good thing because at Smith Mountain Lake the occasion becomes one to be remembered far after it is past. Everyone loves someone and that’s what Valentine’s Day is all about. But love is not just for sweethearts, it’s something everyone needs and many don’t receive. While you are shopping for your sweetheart this year, why don’t you consider finding someone who doesn’t feel very loved and make it a special day for them as well?
