Jeanette...just returned from MC but wife is close behind so I can't go into much detail, but it was interesting. I'll catch you and everyone else later.

Awww Di...a woman after my own heart. I love a good old fashioned letter, written on fine paper with a quality writing instrument. Not sure that's my wife's love language...still trying to figure that one out for sure. I think it's a combo of acts of service and gifts. She told me in MC today that she wishes I was more spontaneous...talk about a huge clue. I might have to plan a spontaneous weekend to the Berkshires/Adirondacks/Martha's Vineyard, etc.

Back in the old days, whenever I had to leave for a long deployment, I would leave little surprises all over the house for her to find later...notes...chocolate...little outfits...etc. She loved that. Unfortunately, sometimes one of the kids would find them before she did. I remember my youngest son asking me why the underwear I bought for mom had this big hole in middle...hehe..."Well son, it's for ventilation."

Anyway, you ladies are awesome. Maybe I should start a new thread with romance tips. We could call it "Romancing the Stone: How To Get Through To Your MLC Spouse."
