Then sitting on the wall at the top of the beach eating ice cream cones, then driving home, top still down, maybe pulling over to find the Big Dipper or something.<br /><br />The alternate dream is him in a lightweight white shirt and light khakis and me in a light summer dress, dancing on the deck of a cruise ship. Light romantic dancing, not HUGGING dancing, but "proper"... arms on shoulder/waist, hand in hand. One of those gliding-ish types.<br /><br />Catch is, I've been married twice and I have NOT wanted to do this with either one. It's a dream date, might as well add a dream guy. Or the right guy. Whichever comes first.Dawnhttp://boom-child.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-49284066856679363392012-06-16T15:41:13.344-04:002012-06-16T15:41:13.344-04:00Barbara, I said I would take some pics of my garde...Barbara, I said I would take some pics of my garden...and today the sun was shining.<br /><br />Here they are:<br /><br />http://2handwonderland.blogspot.de/2012/06/my-garden.htmlBeckihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11056971028004881629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-30072039293424502242012-06-16T14:10:10.157-04:002012-06-16T14:10:10.157-04:00That's what I keep telling myself :DThat's what I keep telling myself :DKellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785247788175367281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-28048052042103404672012-06-16T00:14:30.732-04:002012-06-16T00:14:30.732-04:00lol same here Kelly !!!

A night like when we were girlfriend boyfriend instead of husband and wife. A hole in the wall lounge for dinner with great jazz, and then the drive in theatre. I'd even take my crappy little hatchback back. Parked backwards with the seats folded down it was like a big bed with a pile of pillows and blankets and snacks stashed in all the little nooks. Coziest and comfiest way to see a movie by far. Then of course a three am drive home windows down cool summer air and stars as far as the eye can see. Of course then we didn't live together and I remember sitting on the street for another few hours talking about everything and nothing after these nights until the sun would come up and we would finally head our seperate ways for the day.Those were the best nights but alas my stomach can no longer handle that level of junk food and the last drive-in in MB closed about 7 years ago and I'd nod off long before the sunrise now anyways. Sappy i know but I'd also take a surprise trip to Paris!Erinhttp://awrittenexperiment.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-81210954183045902082012-06-15T23:01:56.692-04:002012-06-15T23:01:56.692-04:00Wow if they're willing to help me find true lo...Wow if they're willing to help me find true love again I'm in. : D I have not even been on a date in twenty years.

I am not the most imaginative of persons when it comes to dates, but here's what we did on our first. I brought her to my school and showed her my examproject - and the works of my fellow students, which was very nice and a relaxed and quiet moment for us. Then she took me to eat at a Fridays, which was really enjoyable, I think we stayed there two hours or more. We talked and talked and talked, and armwrestled :) She was stronger, but we had amazing eyecontact during the match, so I blame that for distracting me. After that I took her to the old town fortress (Akershus festning), where we sat and watched the boats and talked even more. <br />Then I had to go home, but since that day we've made plans to go on hiking in the mountains together and other romantic and exiting activities. <br />I think the reason why I love this date more than any other, is because this was my first ever date with a girl. And i loved it! It was a great five hours, with a girl who has wrapped her arms around my heart.<br /><br />Thank you for posting Deb and Barb, I read you every day =)<br />Love from NorwayAnettenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-9828909807471068302012-06-15T15:31:38.982-04:002012-06-15T15:31:38.982-04:00What a lovely post!

Well, ...What a lovely post! Love...romance...*sigh*<br />Well, I don't know what the 'perfect' date would be. I think maybe something simple, talking about books and movies (talking nerdy). Maybe in the winter, with snow falling. No cells or anything like that. And laughter. Lots of laughter. If he can't make me laugh, then the date is pointless! <br />I found this video and just had to share it with you all!<br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W27pfiRg5WQ&feature=player_embeddedStephnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-85026281785067262532012-06-15T15:05:27.596-04:002012-06-15T15:05:27.596-04:00At my school, they're either jerks, gay or tak...At my school, they're either jerks, gay or taken.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06785247788175367281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1528510907038944744.post-60332544911119574202012-06-15T12:54:29.806-04:002012-06-15T12:54:29.806-04:00You know I can't really think of what I would ...You know I can't really think of what I would want to make a date my favorite, I enjoy every one we have. I think for me simply the fact that we still do "date" after years of marriage is special. I don't think it's the grand gestures that really matter but the day to day little things we do for eachother that really count.

We did go to Europe for our tenth anniversary but I planned it all. While there I lost my wedding ring in Lake Como.
