when we were dating my hubby rode his bike 6 miles to leave flowers in my door and waited around the corner until I came home from work to see my response1 Evidently it was good we just celebrated 30 yrs!!

My tears are flowing. You have more than one great love in your life. While your husband was unable to show his love on that special day, your very loving grandson did. In many ways, you are a well loved woman!

such nice stories. keep them coming.
I believe the simple acts are great.
that's what made me think of Andrew and the purple snow.
I bet he's a winner still, too bad I moved in 6th grade.
it broke my heart to leave him when I was 12 in 6th grade.
he had it out with my ex-boyfriend and broke his leg.
the purple snow was such a good memory

Dh drives me two and a half hours each way to the Madison quilt show each September. He golfs while I enjoy the show. I really don't enjoy driving, so it means a lot to me.

That is the kindest, sweetest thing I've heard in a long time. You are very blessed to have such a grandson!

On our fiftieth anniversary two years ago my husband surprised me with a beautiful diamond solitaire engagement ring just like the one he had given me 51 years before and I had lost about 12 years later. For my birthday that year he gave me a matching diamond encrusted wedding band to replace the plain one I had worn for 50 years. Since then he has taken me to quilt shows (even attending some with me), taken me on "little honeymoons", trips, and built me a beautiful screened-in porch. I think I'll keep him! ps love reading these stories.

My DH would do anything at all for me. Of course, he would have to make it seem to be his idea, but I never wanted for a thing as long as we were married

My DH loved my from the age of 15-----until he went to fly with eagles at 67.

Well let's see........My husband is so guilty of the following random romantic acts.......

Spontaneous date nights
Surprise shopping sprees
Let's me sleep in
Enables me in my fabric jones's
Makes me laugh on a daily basis
Doesn't mind my long stays in the land of Skyrim battling Dragons
Brings me something to drink in the middle of the night if I am thirsty

And best of all .......He loves me as I am......flaws and all :)

That to me is romantic, as we've been married for over 39 years now...I'll go for practical romance any day!

If you ever get tired of him, send him my way! :)
