~~~ From the Editor ~~~
Some of you asked what I got Athena for our recent 15th anniversary.
I had wanted to do this for a long time and now seemed perfect
considering the house we are building. I got a 3 foot by 4 foot
professional oil painting done of our two children.
Have a picture-perfect week. — Michael

This weeks contest is on “Romantic Chores”. How have chores added
romance to your relationship? Perhaps you did your spouses chores
or you wrote a secret note that was found inside the washing
machine. I’m sure there are a lot of ways you have used mundane
chores to be romantic.

subject line. The winning story/idea will win a trip to the prize

Evening and others, CDs, dance lessons and other fun stuff at

Table for Two
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com/
For some people, the most romantic thing they do is take someone out
to dinner. That is a kind gesture, especially if the person you are
taking out does most of the cooking and washing up afterwards.
I don’t consider eating an ordinary meal at your average restaurant
particularly romantic. Just because you take someone to a fancy or
expensive restaurant, that doesn’t make it romantic either.
However, I do believe that dining at a restaurant (even your average
chain variety) can be truly romantic with a little advanced
preparation.
What makes dining out romantic are the elements of surprise,
atmosphere and thoughtfulness. Below are some suggestions on how to
make your next dining experience really romantic.
* Bring flowers to the restaurant in advance and have waiter deliver
them after dessert.
* Arrange to have the musicians play “your song.”
* Pretend to go to the restroom and give the waiter some jewelry or
other present to be hidden under the dinner rolls.
* Go to the restaurant where you went on your first date (or
proposed to her).
* Have the host slip a special note or card in the menu.
* Work with the chef in advance to prepare his or her favorite
dishes (not all restaurants will do this).
* Create a fake menu that includes made-up dishes that have some
sort of inside meaning or funny story.
* Arrange to have the waiter bring a small gift or card with every
course.
