<3~    From the Editor      ~<3

This issue is a day late since we got stuck overnight in Houston on
our way back from California.  It was a successful trip but I’m always
happy to come home.

If you are looking for tips for making Thanksgiving a bit more
romantic or special this year, check out these ideas from my site.

Have a spill-proof week.  — Michael

I often receive emails from subscribers asking for advice on certain
situations.  I don’t always have time but help when I can.  What
surprises me is the fact that several of these men and women who write
don’t realize that their sweetheart is cheating on them.  Here is a
discreet way to find out if your darling is cheating on you (and about
60% do).  http://theromantic.com/catchacheat.htm

……………………………………………………..

<3~   It’s the Little Things   ~<3

Deliberately showing thanks for your sweetheart on Thanksgiving
instead of getting caught up in the meal or the football.

……………………………………………………..

<3~    Contest     ~<3

Thanks for the great suggestions for future contests.  I now have
enough new ideas for many, many months.  I have notified the winner
from last weeks contest.

This weeks contest is *Romantic Quickies*.  No, not that kind.  What
is a creative romantic thing you have done that take only minutes to
execute?  For example, writing a love note of the bathroom mirror with
Dry Erase markers.  It just takes seconds.  All the preparation has to
take 10 minutes or less.

Entries must be received by Monday.

Birthdays Are a Beach
by Linda Hostelley
http://www.TheRomantic.com

A few years ago for my husbands 50th surprise birthday party I threw
an indoor beach party!  It was early in March so it was still cold
outside so I jammed up the heat, and told everyone they could only
wear beach wear.

Our living room became the ‘beach,’ with towels laid out on the floor,
umbrellas, fish and starfish hanging from the ceiling, beach balls all
over and the beach boys singing loudly.

Food was served buffet style, filling beach pails (line with plastic)&
giant plastic clam shells with chicken, potato salad, etc.  Guests
used shovels to put the food on their plates.  One elderly woman came
dressed in a 1920’s bathing suit with hat and all.  Others had jams
on, bathing suits, they brought their favorite beach music and we even
had a dance contest.

We told stories about their favorite car as a teenager, what was their
favorite ‘parking place’, and trivia.  It was really one of the best
parties we ever had.

When it was all over and I was just relaxing in the kitchen after
cleaning up, my husband came up behind me and said with tears in his
eyes, that, that was the first birthday party anyone had ever thrown
him!  I couldn’t believe it!  It will always be a very special day to
us both.
