Most Romantic Memories

Some things are obviously too personal to write on a public blog (so I'll write those things somewhere I can save them privately) As for my shareable "most romantic memories"...

1. Our first anniversary - I got up really early to sneak out of our apartment to go to a bakery. I had ordered a wedding cake top (to look like our wedding cake) as a surprise for Kevin (we didn't save ours.) We ate the cake for breakfast.

2. On our 5th anniversary Kevin surprised me with a wonderful dinner at the Space Needle in Seattle.

3. I came home after a trip many years ago. When I went into our bedroom, Kevin had a sign and a ton of balloons stuck to the ceiling above our bed. On the bed he left a music tape with a very romantic song (one I'd never heard before) ready for me to pop in and listen. It was a wonderful welcome home.

4. Valentine's Day many years ago, Kevin gave me a heart shaped silver box with a note explaining its "magical" qualities. He continued to put notes and goodies in it for me to find in the months after.

5. Twenty-Fifth anniversary - A trip to NYC and tickets to Phantom of the Opera. Need I say more?

Most Romantic Memories
1. Long time ago... I was sick in bed on St. Patrick's Day (my great-grandmother was from Ireland) and Mike brought me a biscuit with green-colored butter to go with my tea.
2. Whenever either of us goes on a trip alone, we find notes tucked in our suitcase and/or cards on our pillow when we return.
3. For many years, I got coral-colored roses (like the ones at our wedding) on our anniversary, one for each year we'd been married. We are nearly always at the lake at that time of year, so he finally had to quit as there were too many to cart in there by boat. I still get a lovely card and dinner out sometime around the date; it's been nearly 42 years!
4. When I first began attending GFWC International Conventions, Mike would order flowers to arrive in my room a day or two after I got there - just to say he missed me. That got too expensive as the economy slowed... but I still find notes in my suitcase.

I don't have a lot to match the wonderful memories you ladies have had, but I think the most romantic thing my husband has done is continued to call me every day at lunch time for the past 28 years. He might not be big on shows of affection, but that call every day tells me that he is thinking about me....

I don't have anything in particular that sticks out that I haven't already posted...maybe except one. In 2008 the week of Valentines Day I was diagnosed with breast cancer. So before my bilateral mastectomy and chemo he took me to the Keys for unplanned vacation. A much needed one at that!
