Date Night!

It is said that in order to take care of others you must first take care of yourself.  I don't know who actually said that, but it sure sounds good.  Anyway, one way that David and I take care of ourselves and our relationship is that we have frequent date nights.  Right now, date night is every Thursday night.  This year we are trying to choose different and more active dates, rather than just eating out.  This past week we got out of the house later than we had hoped so we chose hiking the Cranberry Trail (an easy trail near the town of Callander).  It was wonderful, there was no one else there, no cars in the parking lot, no people on the trail, and no one, as far as we could see, in the bog picking cranberries.  We hiked up to the lookout and climbed the tower...we reach the top, it is quiet, peaceful and private.  So, I turn to David and say- "this would be a really great place to have sex..."  as I finish my sentence two people, not 100 yards away stand up from where they were picking cranberries and look right at me.  David and I have a good laugh about this...laughing is also good for a relationship!
