This week I was talking to a friend from Colorado and she told me what she and her husband, Roger, do on their dates. It has become a tradition and they both look forward to their quite time together. Their dates are not what you typically think of doing. Most people after they are married assume when you are talking about a date it is in the evening. This is not always the case and because this couple thinks out of the box, they have a longer and more enjoyable date than most couples.

Karen is off every Friday, Saturday and Sunday and Roger has a 3 day weekend every other week. The Fridays he is off and the kids are in school they go to see the early bird show at their local theatre. When I say early I am talking the 10:00 AM showing and then they go out to their favorite little restaurant for lunch. They finish the afternoon off by running some errands and getting a cup of coffee before the kids get home.

They get to see all the latest films and there are no crowds. The bonus is it is cheaper because they are going to the early show. She told me they try to be fair by taking turns choosing the movies. One Friday they were in line and there was an older couple in their late sixties in front of them and they were going to see two movies. She heard the older guy say to his wife now I chose one it is your turn to choose the one you want to go to. She thought they were cute. When you look at these two couples they were both very considerate of the other.

She also told me that their friends are always a little envious because they see all the latest movies. Karen reminds them that the only way they could do this is because they go to the early bird shows.

This is such a great idea. You may not have Fridays off like Roger and Karen do but you could trade off on a Saturday or Sunday with another couple to watch the kids. Each couple benefits every other week with some alone time and the kids have fun at the other couples house. The couple that is watching the kids could also host dinner for everyone. You get to see a movie, have lunch out and then go to dinner at the other’s house. This makes for a wonderful relaxing day every other week for each couple. If every other week is too much then try once a month.

Plan on having a date on a budget, it will become a tradition you and your husband will look forward to.

This week one of our local supermarkets had small frozen lobster on sale for $5 each. We bought 2 and for $10 we plan on making a Lobster Sandwich.

Our plan is to have a romantic picnic dinner overlooking the Avila Pier this weekend.

Here is our recipe:

Lobster Sandwich

Lobster Meat, cooked & chopped
Mayonnaise
Black Pepper
Salt
Lemon Juice (optional)
Romaine Lettuce
Green Onions (optional)
Hot Dog Buns – toasted

Combine chopped Lobster Meat, mayonnaise, pepper, salt & lemon juice. Place the romaine lettuce inside the toasted hot dog bun and add the lobster meat mixture and sprinkle with the chopped green onions.

There are no exact measurements because it really is to your taste buds. It all depends on how many you are making and how much mayo, salt and pepper you like.

Add coleslaw, bring your drink of choice and chocolate dipped strawberries for desert and take your picnic dinner to the beach, lake or overlooking the city lights. You will have the romantic quite time you both so desperately need.

There will be no one bothering you, just the two of you enjoying a romantic picnic together.

Keep those sparks flying!

The Today Show recently talked about the Central Coast in California as becoming the hotspot for wineries. Since we live in the area and you have read about how close we are to so any wineries I thought you would enjoy seeing the beautiful scenic area we live in.

Dierberg & Star Lane Vineyards, Santa Ynez – We live approximately ½ hour from this winery.

Larry and I haven’t been to either of these places but you can bet we will check them out one weekend. This will be another great date for us to look forward too.

If you research I am sure there is something interesting about the area you live in that you haven’t visited or seen in quite a while. Make a date with your sweetheart to play tourist in your area and enjoy its uniqueness.

That is what makes your relationship interesting.

Keep those sparks flying!
