~~~ From the Editor ~~~

We’ve been having a record-breaking heat wave here in North
Carolina, like many other parts of the country. It’s been fun
making unique frozen pops for the kids and us too. Sure, you can
freeze juice but for a fun change try chocolate milk, smoothies,
yoghurt and other novelties.

Have a cool week. — Michael

Office Romance
by Michael Webb
http://www.TheRomantic.com/

When Athena was working outside of the home we would often meet at
her office to go have lunch together. One particular day she was
away from her desk when I arrived and I had a feeling she wouldn’t
be back for 5 or 10 minutes.

I spied a small packet of yellow sticky notes on her desk and went
to work. I wrote about a dozen short messages and quickly hid them
all throughout her cubicle. On one, I wrote “I love you” and I
stuck it in her rolodex under the letter L.

I hid one under her water bottle, inside the phone cradle, in her
candy dish and several more in out of the way locations. I even hid
a note in the paper station of her printer so when it was time to
replace the paper she would find it there. On her message pad I
went down a few pages and wrote a message To: Athena, From: Your
Best Friend, Message: Missing you – come home soon.

Several days each week she would let me know she had discovered one
of her notes. She found most of them before she quit her job. I
think there was still a couple for her replacement to find. Hope
they make her day.
