  ;-) Well E-Rose is going to give you a few tips of ways to create magic or keep it going. She would welcome any ideas you may have to offer as well and would be happy to include them here. Some of them are extremely simple but they may bring out a smile or they may really touch a heart. It's all in the special effort that you put into it. §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§ 1) Eat your favorite Ice Cream in bed. Share a spoon or hand feed each other from one bowl. 2) Write I love you notes on small pieces of paper & hide them in the coffee can, sugar bowl, in his pockets, in the car ..anywhere.. One women wrote out 300 of them. He is still finding them. :) 3) Take a long quiet drive together on the spur of the moment. 4) Create your own "I Love You" signal.. I know Celine Dion has one for her hubby :). Make one up for you to secretly share. Sometimes the less said the better!!!! 5) I love massages! To me, that is one way to totally relax your S/O (Significant Other) and yet it can be so intimate. There are many massage oils on the market but Baby Oil can work or I have used Neutragena's Sesame Seed Oil. Find one that is right for you. 6) Freeze a small note in an ice cube and put it in their drink with something special you want to say. 7) Take a sunrise paddle in a canoe and watch the sun steam up the mist off the lake. 8) Go back in time.
