UNCORKED

Just last weekend we went away to a beautiful B&B in New Brunswick
Canada called Larsen's Lodge. They specialize in Romantic getaways and
it really
was wonderful. We both had planned very Romantic ideas for our weekend,
but the beautiful one that I brought was a Romantic poem specially chosen for
its "us" appropriate content, printed on a special alce edged paper and
tucked into an antique bottle that I had purchased on a recent trip to
Cape Cod.
The bottle was a bit marked by age, so I put a pinch or two of
confetti that was iridescent into the bottle along with the poem to give
it a little sparkle. I tied a lovely bow around the neck of it & tucked
it into my
Travel & Vacation bag. Unfortunately, the antique cork wasn't providing an
airtight seal & I was crushed.
The second night of our trip, however, we ordered a
great bottle of Riesling to go with our dinner & the cork was especially
pretty and we commented on it. Later, I spied the cork on the table. It
appeared to be just the right size to save the day! The next
morning, I went to shower & took my Travel & Vacation bag in with me. The cork fit
perfect!
I finished getting ready for the day & filled the big whirlpool bath
at the same time. I put few drops of bubbles in, packed up my
things & placed the bottle in the water to float, awaiting it's
discovery by my love. Although he didn't notice it until he was
getting dressed, he was touched by the sentiment, the poem and the
effort.
