ROMANTIC SURPRISES |

ANNIVERSARY HUNT submitted by: Vicky Marshall
March, 2004 was our 24th
wedding anniversary.
Fell on a week day so
couldn't plan too much.
However, I made BIG
plans for the following
Friday. I typed letters
to my husband, giving
one to the payroll clerk
at his office to give
him when he picked up
his check at the end of
the day.
That letter told him to
come home, shower and
change and receive
further instructions.
Taped to the bathroom
mirror was another
letter to pack an
overnight bag including
swimsuit and get in my
car. A friend took me to
the final destination so
he wouldn't be
suspicious when my car
was gone.
On the seat of the car
was a letter telling him
to go to the liquor
store for a package. I
had made arrangements
for them to put two
bottles of our favorite
wine, which I paid
for, in the cooler and
give him an envelope
with more instructions.
That final letter gave
him directions to a
superb local bed and
breakfast. I had packed
a picnic basket of
goodies -- wrap
sandwiches, salads,
crackers with artichoke
spread, and home-made
chocolate truffles.
He arrived in record
time, and we had an
enjoyable evening,
including a soak in a
private hot-tub on our
own private patio. I
had a blast setting all
this up, and I know he
enjoyed the fruits of my
labor!
