Aloha!

Athena and I are celebrating our 120th (monthly) anniversary in Kauai,
Hawaii. That’s 10 years to most people. Ashton is a wonderful
traveler and we’ve been having a great time. More next week.

Have a grand week. — Michael

Nancy Langenfeld of Hastings, Maine won last week’s contest on
Father’s Day. Her idea and others will be posted on my site next
week, after we return from Hawaii.

This week’s contest is on APPLIANCES. Most people believe that
appliances are some of the least romantic gifts around. However, with
a little bit of thought, even a coffee pot can properly express your
love. Please share how you have used an appliance to show love.

Winning entry gets a copy of The Book of Fabulous Questions by
Penelope Frohart.

GETTING AWAY — GOING NOWHERE
by Michael Webb

Couples regularly need to get away. Time and money do not always
allow for an *off-site* date or evening together.

If you have small children, the only private room in your house is
probably your bedroom. It is the place where you are likely to spend
most of your quality time together so therefore, it should be the most
inviting room in the home. Here are some ways in which you can make
your bedroom more like a private retreat. This investment will cost
far less than a vacation and you will reap the rewards over and over.

Work together with your sweetheart or surprise them by doing the
redecorating yourself or with the help of a friend who has decorator
talents.

* First, clear away all the clutter, the ironing board, the pile of
clothes to be mended, the stacks of magazines. If you can’t move
those items out of the room, buy an inexpensive storage cabinet and
either paint it or throw an attractive sheet or cloth over it.

* Add an attractive cozy armchair where you can sit and relax. Shop
consignment stores or look in the classifieds if you need a bargain.

* Invest in some coverings for your bed to make it look like what you
might find in a magazine. A thick comforter or two will give it a
cozy look and throw on lots of pillows.

* Put a nice magazine rack next to the bed or armchair for all your
magazines and books to go in instead of piling up on the floor or
bedside table.

* Purchase a liberal amount of candles and place them throughout the
room. Use them!

* Hang some attractive artwork on the walls.

* Bring in a radio or small stereo into the room for relaxing music.

Now, the next time feel the need to go away to a B&B, just bring some
snacks into your new bedroom, lock the door and enjoy your getaway.
