I’ll let you in on a little *secret.* You don’t have to be a 32 year
old married guy to get ideas from this newsletter. Before I had a
child, people would write to me saying “how about ideas for those of
us who have children?” Now that I’ve written a couple of ideas that
mentioned children, I have gotten some emails from people saying
“what about ideas for those of us who don’t have children?”

All the ideas I write about can be adapted to your own personal
circumstance whether you are male or female, young or old, single or
married, with children or without. It just takes a little bit of
thought and perhaps some creativity on your part.

Have a grateful week. — Michael

Donna Foti of Vails Gate, New York won last week’s contest on Romantic
Appliances (Donna also won a contest back in November — way to go
Donna!). I was surprised that I got a number of entries (although
many forgot to include a mailing address to win the prize). Her idea
and others are posted on my site at:
http://theromantic.com/stories/appliances/main.htm

This week’s contest is on VACATIONS. How have you (or someone else)
made your vacation extra romantic by paying attention to the little
things? I’m not interested in vacations that simply cost a lot of
money. There must be some sort or creativity involved.

Winning entry gets a copy of Great Love Themes CD by David Tolley.

CREATING A NATIONAL HOLIDAY – JUST FOR FUN
by Allan Tobey

When my wife and I were dating I “created” a National Holiday. I told
her a few days before our Saturday night date we were going to
celebrate National Lumberjack Day.

It was fitting since we lived in upper Michigan and it was the middle
of winter. In order to properly celebrate this festive occasion I
asked her to dress like a lumberjack, flannel shirt, suspenders, and
work boots if she could. At the time she was attending a university
and on the night of the date I arrived at her dorm room in my best
flannel, jeans, and work boots, carrying 2 double-bladed axes. One
for each of us.

She was decked out in a red and black flannel shirt, black jeans, and
winter boots. For dinner (we left the axes in the car) we went to The
International House of Pancakes, because lumberjacks always eat
flapjacks. While at dinner I told her on National Lumberjack’s Day
all beautiful women receive a gift because lumberjacks never see women
when they are in the woods. I handed her a gift wrapped package.
When she opened it she found an insulated undershirt.

She was very impressed with my creativity and the evening has become a
very special memory we share.
