Surprise Kiss

Archive for June, 2010

Over Memorial Day Weekend my daughter received an email from a very good girlfriend telling her about a friend of hers and their family. Last Thursday the family was in a very bad accident. I remembered hearing about it on the news. The accident had blocked traffic for miles on the 101 heading north. They were all taken to the hospital and everyone spent the night. The next day the mother and her three children were released, all with broken bones. Two are in wheelchairs. The children’s ages are 2, 4 and 7. The father is still in entensive care and will be there for 3 to 4 weeks.

There is a website we found out about through this tragic accident and have been able to follow how the family is doing and where we can donate to help with their mounting medical expenses. It is called CaringBridge.org. Apparently a friend has been keeping a journal about the family.

CaringBridge is a nonprofit providing free websites that connect families and friends during a serious health event, care and recovery.

CaringBridge’s website helps families and friends stay informed. The author can add updates on the health of the person and photos uploaded on the website. Visitors can leave messages of love and support in the guestbook.

If you or someone you know is going through a serious health issue you may want to checkout CaringBridge.org’s website and make your own free website or donate to the company.

I hope your Memorial Day Weekend was a safe and healthy one for you and your family. Hearing about this family and their serious accident makes us all think about how lucky we are and how fast things can change. One moment you are happy and healthy and the next moment your life could change. Give your family a huge hug and kiss them. Always remember to tell them everyday how much you love and appreciate them.

Keep those sparks flying!

Hope you all had a fun Memorable Day Weekend and you and your spouse enjoy my “Have a Memorable Romance” blog. I actually had a very enjoyable weekend. I had a girl’s weekend away. My daughter and I took my 88 year old mother to visit her 92 year old brother in San Diego and we got to visit relatives we don’t see too often. We try to make it a yearly trip to visit but it is not always possible. It has been two years since our last visit.

Driving to San Diego from Santa Maria can be a hit and miss with traffic. With it being a holiday weekend it can get even more interesting. There are times we can drive it in 5 hours and there are times it has taken us 8 hours or more! Despite the drive we managed to have fun visiting family and catching up on their lives. And of course what is a girl’s weekend away without lots of shopping!

So my sweetie was solo this weekend. He did go out to dinner with our son-in-law, Tom, on Saturday. He went to the annual car show, relaxed and watched what he wanted to watch on TV which is Nascar Racing. He got to do what he wanted to do which is nice sometimes. We all need that. We came back on Sunday and Tom and Larry met us in Ventura for dinner.

I did leave him a little something to look forward to when I came home. Recently I purchased a very sexy bra and panty set and hadn’t worn it yet. So….. I thought why not lay the set on top of the bed with a note. The note read: “Just a little something for us to anticipate until I return home sweetie.”

Guys you could do the same thing when you are going to be out of town by purchasing something sexy for your sweetheart to wear or maybe some massage lotion. For the lingerie you can say the same thing I did above. If you purchased massage lotion you could lay it on her end table with a note saying: “I can’t wait to get home and give you a massage you won’t forget.”

When you are going out of town why not create a little anticipation between the two of you? You won’t be able to keep your hands off each other when you walk in the door.

Keep those sparks flying!
