Surprise Kiss

Archive for April, 2010

May you have a very holy and blessed Easter, I hope you are surrounded by the love of your family and or friends. On Easter morning we will be going out to have breakfast with our daughter and her family, my mother and my in-laws.

Our grandchildren are all to old to have an Easter egg hunt but I will have my own Easter egg hunt with my husband starting in the morning with his first Easter egg hidden in his bathroom drawer and the second one in the evening on top of his towel.

If you missed my Romantic Easter last Friday you will want to take a look at it and have your own Easter egg hunt! You may not be able to have your date night this weekend because of the hectic Easter celebrations, church, Easter egg hunts, etc. Brunch or dinner with family or friends but you can find time to say I love and care about you to your spouse.

Have your quite time together and bring out the child in your romance; have an Easter Egg Hunt of your own.

Keep those sparks flying!

Yesterday I talked about bringing home a little something from were you stayed at that you could put in your pocket or wallet. You didn’t pay any money for it. It was something as simple as a business card from the hotel that you stayed at or the restaurant where you had this fabulous view or meal together. I even suggested keeping your room key. Well today I want to tell you about something I purchased while we were in Lake Tahoe last year visiting our granddaughter and her little family.

We went with our daughter and her husband along with our youngest granddaughter. We took separate cars because we were bring things for Sarah, Steve and the newest addition to our family little Ronan. We got rooms at the beautiful Hyatt Hotel overlooking Lake Tahoe. We would visit Steve and Sarah during the day and then head back to our hotel in the evening.

One evening we were in the hotel looking in the gift shop and I noticed something, it was a small flat silver disk with words imprinted on it. There were two little words that said “Kiss Me”.  I decided to purchase it. The little disk was only $2.00. My daughter looked at me and said “Mom why are you buying this little thing that you will loose?” I just looked at her and laughed and told her I thought it would be fun to surprise her Dad with this. She looked at me and rolled her eyes. Later that evening before we went to our separate rooms, I gave the little silver disk to my husband in front of her. He laughed and leaned down and gave me a kiss.

We had a wonderful time with our granddaughter and her cute family. Ronan is so cute and adorable. We all hated to leave because we are a good 7 to 8 hours away and we knew it would be awhile before we could see each other again. We had packed our bags and went down stairs to the front lobby to have our cars brought to the front and while we were all waiting for the cars to be delivered by our valet my husband said “Look what I found!” We all looked and it was my little silver disk with the words “Kiss Me” on it. It apparently had fallen on the flour and I hadn’t noticed it.

My husband smiled at me, handed me the silver disk and bent down to kiss me. I look at our daughter and said “This is why I bought it.” Every so often one of us will surprise the other with our inexpensive “Kiss Me” silver disk and it brings back wonderful memories of family and romance in Lake Tahoe!

You could do the same thing without spending any money at all. Pack a small black tipped permanent marker in your luggage before you leave for your romantic getaway. Make it a point to go for a walk and look for a small smooth light colored rock. Tell your spouse you need their help finding one so you can write 2 little words on it but don’t tell them what the words are. You want to surprise them.  Once you have found the perfect rock bring it back to your room and wash and dry it. Once it is completely dry write the words “Kiss Me” on it and let it dry. Slip it into you pant pocket and hand it to your spouse later that day. Your rock will be a very special memory to you both because you found it together while you were enjoying your romantic weekend away.
