It may be sitting on the back deck and warning the troops inside to create a time of peace for us to “visit” in our own home together.
It may be summer cheap Tuesday matinée moments, nothing at all but chance time spent with one another, long drives to doctor appointments together, watching the sun set at the local beach, a great barbecue dinner courtesy of hubby’s chef talents, or even just chatting while running errands.

Our advice to you - Life is too short - You gotta just go ahead and make it happen!
