So you're going to the antique festival with your honey and it's 90 degees out. Put your hair up and wear something cute made out of lightweight cotton. I suggest carrying a small spray bottle of this citrus mixture for a quick cool down.
I like to use a small canning jar to mix then pour what I need into a small glass spritzer bottle. Squeeze thejuice from a lime, filter out the pulp and pour the juice into the jar. Add 1/2 cup rubbing alcohol and 3 teaspoons lemon or orange extract or a couple drops of essential oil. Screw the lid on tight and shake well then pour what you need into the spray bottle. Store it in a cooler for added effect. When you feel overheated, give yourself a spritz for a great way to cool down.
If you decide to store any extra for another day, be sure to label it so nobody will try to consume it.

#Thursday13 - Best Places (on the body) to be Kissed
Okay, I promised I’d post the best places on the body to be
kissed. Unfortunately, dear hubby is out
of town so I didn’t get to have the fun of researching this project personally;
I had to survey friends. Thanks to all
for your honesty!
1. Lips
2. Eyelids
3. Neck
4. Inside
of the elbow
5. Inside
of the wrist
6. Palms
7. Fingertips
8. Breast
9. Belly
10. Inside
the hip
11. Yes…
there!
12. Inside
the thigh
13. Lower
back
I think Shoulders is good too. So maybe a kiss that begins at the nape of
the neck and travels across the shoulders and down the back to the little
dimple about the butt…(sigh)… should be counted as one kiss. Hmmm….?

Poet's Corner - Silver Circle #Poem
Touch the silver chain,
Precious links wound
‘round your neck.
Let your fingers
stroke
The tiny silken
circles.
The cool of metal
Against the warm heat
of skin.
Each link is a word.
Forming thoughts.
Creating ideas.
Weaving
stories.
What words do you
hear?
“Once upon a time…”
“In the
terror of the storm…”
“Look
to the west, the sun is rising…”
Listen to your heart.
How does your story
end?
Search, find the last
link.
You know the one, sad
but true.
Tired not broken,
Holding the silver
circle.
Staying together,
Not willing to be destroyed
What are the last words?
I love you eternally.

#Thursday13 – Picnics, Picnics, Everywhere
A picnic can be a
romantic event.
I remember one time Dearest Hubby and I took
two of our boys (when they were very small) to a beach along Lake Michigan. We
packed a yummy picnic including juice boxes for the boys and a bottle of wine
for us. We sat back, sipped our wine while holding hands while watching our
little ones play.
One summer
was very hot and we were limited on time due to a busy schedule. We often held
a picnic under a tree in our yard, in the garden (where we often ate fresh
picked veggies) or on the deck with hubby grilling.
While
traveling we had a long layover at Chicago Midway. We spread a blanket under
some potted trees. The youngest took a nap, while hubby & I played a game
with another son. Nothing is sexier than a man being a good dad.
It is up to
you and your honey, but even with the rug-rats around, it is possible to
capture a few romantic moments.
Here is my list of
places for a picnic.
1. On the beach
2. In a park
3. In the garden
4. On the deck
5. At the zoo
6. On a riverbank
7. In a city plaza
8. Under the stars
9. At an outdoor concert
10. In a public garden
11. On the porch
12. On a tailgate (maybe even at a sporting event)
13. In a pasture (but be aware: cows are very curious)
