~~~ From the Editor ~~~

We are back home from Washington State. It was so lovely (we had a
miracle week of 7 days of straight sunshine) we just might have to
volunteer at camp there again next year.

This week’s contest is on the Olympics. I will try to post some of
the good entries on my site in the next few days so some of you can
use them for a closing ceremony *date*.

Have a grateful week. — Michael

OLYMPICS OF LOVE
by Karl Scifres
http://theromantic.com/
My wife Kathy really gets into watching the Olympics, so we have spent
almost every night watching TV. Anyway, I decided that I wanted to do
a ‘sort-of’ spontaneous expression of my love for her and decided to
connect it to the Olympics.

I work at a vocational school, so I got the carpentry teacher to make
me some stakes that could be hammered into the ground and I made some
“burma-shave” type signs. The signs read, “Kathy,” “In the Olympics”
“of Love” “You win” “the Gold!” “I’m yours” “forever!” “With all”
“my love,” “Karl”

So the next morning I got up about 30 minutes earlier than usual. I
was very careful to not disturb her from her sleep. About two blocks
from our house, there was a vacant lot that was about a block long. I
spread out the signs from one end of the block to the other. Since
this was the route she took to work, she saw them as she drove to work
about two hours later. Some of her friends even saw the signs and
commented to her about them. Needless to say, I got a phone call when
she got to work — it made her day!
