Cathleen won last week’s contest on ROMANTIC HALLOWEEN with her story,
“Who Was That Caped Man?”  Her story and several other previously
submitted Halloween ideas are on my site at:
http://theromantic.com/stories/halloween/main.htm

Also check out great Romantic Autumn ideas at:

There will be no contest this week since Athena and I will be taking a
retreat next week and I don’t want to have to do much work from the
road.

GARAGE SALE GETAWAY
by Michael Webb
http://theromantic.com/

Couples often dont have the extra funds for the romantic getaways they
desire.  Families often have a lot of “junk” they have accumulated
over the years.  When people get married, they often have duplicate
items they no longer need.  Combine these “problems” and a creative
solution would be a garage sale vacation.

Put together a yard sale and with whatever money you raise, take a
nice vacation together.  You might only earn $100, enough for a night
at a bed and breakfast.  Or you could possibly raise more than $1000
which would give you a world of romantic possibilities.

If you are selling your “surplus” for such a good cause, it will be
easier to let go of those unused items that are simply taking up room
in the house.  Your husband is more likely to let go of his
dust-filled shot glass collection and your wife would be more willing
to part with the clothes she never wears if you know the funds might
take you to some exotic locale.  Unused furniture and baby items are
always big sellers at garage sales.

This is not just a project that one of you should get stuck with.
Make the yard sale a team effort.  There will be sorting, pricing and
organizing to be done.  Signs to be made.  Ads to be placed.

A well organized yard sale takes a lot of time and effort.  However,
the rewards can be quite substantial.  You will clean the clutter out
of your house, you’ll spend time together on a worthwhile project and
you’ll raise some money for a well deserved romantic getaway.
