Just to the side of our house is a small yard and then it turns into overgrown sumac trees and brush.
If you go beyond a little bit there is a clearing of overgrown lawn that you cant see from the house. Every chance I had while she wasn’t home, I chopped and cut a winding path down to the clearing and cleared a spot about 25 x 20.
In the middle of the clearing, which is now wide open to the stars, I built a dance floor 8×8. Down the path, to the dance floor and one on each corner I placed tiki torches.
The day I finished I waited for my girlfriend to come home and just after dark I told her I was going out to play w/ Harley, our dog. I took a lighter and walked to the dance floor lighting every tiki torch. I then called her and told her to come out the front door and head to the side of the house, that there was something she needed to see.
I had already had a small radio and a romantic CD in place. She looked absolutely beautiful walking down the flickering pathway right up to me on the dance floor. I gave her a rose as tears of happiness fell from her eyes. I held her close and we danced and kissed under the stars.
