~~~ From the Editor ~~~
My long time readers know that each summer I volunteer at summer camp
and my foundation subsidizes camp tuition for dozens of youth each
year. I have the best memories of going to summer camp as a teen.
Unfortunately, many children never have that experience whether it is
because of finances or their parents never realized the positive
impact that a great summer camp can be.
I volunteer with Higher Ground summer camp because it is run with
solid Christian values and because it is a non-profit. Because many
of the staff volunteer their services it has one of the lowest tuition
rates of any professional camp in the country. They are accepting
applications for campers ages 8-18 until May 31.

Yelling out "I Love You" across the room.

Yesterday the package arrived and Ashton and I hid it for Athena to
find. Ashton gave her the clues and when she didn't find it fast
enough he told her it was under the couch :)
The gift was a fleece jacket that had a loving message embroidered on
the *inside*. The message is designed to go right over the heart -
and only she and I know what it says. A little secret of ours every
time she wears it. She loved it. It is also a great idea for
upcoming Father's Day. Go to
http://www.loveaffect.com/ to check it
out. -- Michael

~~~ Tip of the Week ~~~
Bring the Rain Forest Indoors
by Michael Webb
http://www.theromantic.com/
Ah! A tropical Rain Forest! With its beautiful flowers, singing
birds and splashing waterfall you have an instant romantic adventure.
No, I'm not about to tell you about a recent trip to some exotic
country. Here is how you can have a enchanting rain forest in your
own home.
It's so simple I am amazed I didn't think of it earlier. Fill your
bathroom with as many plants as you can (no cactus, please). Bring in
your music box and play your tape or CD of bird songs or tropical
music (even Caribbean music would create the right atmosphere). With
some duct tape and a dustpan you can easily transform your showerhead
into a waterfall (scrub the dustpan first).
If you want to go all out, replace your regular light bulbs with
colored ones blue and green would be a good choice to set the mood.
Bring in some candles with scents such as coconut, pineapple and
mango.
Now the next time your loved one needs a getaway but you don't have
the time or the money, take their stress away with a tropical
waterfall. It's a lot more creative than your average bubble bath
with candles around the tub. Not only will your spouse thank you but
your plants will enjoy the treatment as well.
