First I left a note in a hiding place that told Zarlacht to check the windshield of the car... because that is where i was going to hide the map.<BR/><BR/>Starting from our house, i measured distances and jotted down points of reference on the way to one of our favorite hot spots at Mockingbird Station. Once I got there, I drove back to the house and snuck the instructions onto the windshield of the car and sped away back to the restaurant. Then I called Zarlacht (who was working in the office) and I told her I left something in the hiding spot and waited for her to find it. When she found it and informed me she was up for it... I just hung up the phone and waited with Ava. About 25 minutes later, she pulled up and we had a wonderful evening. Sometimes you have to get a little creative to get your loved one/partner out of the house and away from work (that will never end) -<BR/><BR/>whether it is sending e-mails from flower patches...<BR/><BR/>making maps....<BR/><BR/>hmm...<BR/><BR/>what should i try next?<BR/><BR/>:)Aaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230074106249783617noreply@blogger.com
