Conveniences that at first seem completely unrelated to
romance have made me realize just how much I am loved by my
husband.
These are some ideas to get the MOST out of one's
love nest. Of course, dimmer switches every where!
But here are some other ideas that made me fall in
love all over again with my husband for thinking of
them.
Starting with the very first gift my husband made
me
--- a trash chute that connects directly to the trash
bin under the balcony reminds me how much I want to love him
back for these sweet gestures of
consideration. The trash bin lid closes as I close
the hatch upstairs.
When women get older [and they care about their
health] they will skip the hormones, get into
alternative nutritional supplementation and have
hubby install an evaporative cooler in the central
part of the home. This doesn't work in muggy climates but in
the hotter/arid states it is a double blessing. And less
costly to run than air conditioners.
Keep the two story! In the mountains where we
retired, so many of the retirees either give up and
moved out or were worrying about keeping these two story
cabins as we aged more and more. You do not have to down
size with a bit of creative planning.
When we get older we get easily tired and need to
conserve on our strengths for the more athletic of
events....nudge nudge.
Stairs (although a good workout) can be challenging
during life's little bumps and sprains. Install a
dumbwaiter - to bring up the groceries! It can bring up the
groceries from the garage to a balcony at the
front door or from the garage into the kitchen,
depending on your floor plan. [Name it your spouse's
name.] Thank you dear!
An elevator, although an extravagance, can also take a lot
of weight off future worries.
A laundry chute is an amazing way to free up a
dizzying task. Install a second dumbwaiter - to bring
up the clean laundry (or design the laundry to be where the
bedrooms are)!
The more time saved with conveniences, the more time for
romance.
