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 matinĂ©e 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!
