~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~

FRIDAY SURPRISE
by Melaney Jenkins
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

About 10 years ago I decided to count down the days until my husband’s
vacation.  He works very hard in shipyard in our area, and we both
look forward to the 2 weeks vacation the company gives the workers in
place of a bonus.  He drives to a commuter parking lot and takes a bus
into the next city.  For the last week of work before his vacation, I
decided to leave a *goodie bag* sitting on the seat of his truck for
him to find each day.

I started with his favorite candy bar, then a bag of salted peanuts,
and so on.  I ended with a bag of his favorite cookies along with one
of those coupons books for back rubs and things.  We both enjoyed the
fun so much I started leaving a *Friday Surprise* every week to mark
the start of the weekend — from cold drinks in the a small thermos
during the summer to fresh baked cookies.

This worked so well I started leaving my daughter a *Friday Surprise*
when she got her license, and started driving to school.  Her friends
would come over to the car to see what she received every Friday!
