Ami DePierro of Raleigh, North Carolina won last weeks contest on
TELLING YOUR MAN YOU ARE PREGNANT.  She sent in TWO great ideas.  I titled her entry *Search Mission.* Read her idea and others at:
http://theromantic.com/stories/pregnant/main.htm

This weeks contest continues on the baby theme.  I sometimes write
love notes on Ashton’s diapers for Athena to discover.  How have you
included your children in pulling off a romantic surprise for your
husband or wife?

The winning entry will receive a copy of Politically Correct Bedtime
Stories by James Finn Garner.  This is a VERY funny book.

Next week I’m giving away a $100 prize. Stay tuned.

BRING BACK THE SUN
by Michael Webb

Brrrrr!  It’s cold outside.  In the middle of Winter I am already
missing the sunshine and the warm rays.  Athena, having grown up in
Southern California, is even more eager to see it get back into the
70s and 80s.

Just recently, when Athena was out running some errands, I pulled a
surprise on her.

I cranked up the heat and prepared the house for her return.  First, I
lit some coconut scented candles (smells like tanning lotion).  Then
put on some Beach Boys music and whipped up some frozen drinks,
decorated with little umbrellas (brought some home from a Chinese
restaurant).

Once the house warmed up, I put on my Hawaiian shirt and shorts, blew
up our beach raft and a couple of beach balls and put them in the
middle of the living room.  Sporting my shades, I waited for Athena to
discover her tropical paradise.
