A Loving Lunch

This specific idea won't apply to everyone, but hopefully you can take the concept and alter it to an occasion that is practical for you.

Pack a special lunch for your love. I used to pack my wife's lunch when she worked in an office and I worked at home. I tried to help her out in the mornings as she was rushing off to work.

Even though I couldn't be with her for lunch, I was there through the love that went into preparing her noon time meal. It perked up the rest of her day when I put a little extra "love" in her paper sack.

Here are a few ways in which I tried to "spice" up her lunch now and again to let her know just how much I care.

Carve a message on an apple or pear in the morning and by lunch time, the message will "magically" appear.

Draw cartoons or write notes on a napkin.

Include Hershey Kisses or other wrapped chocolates. Write a short note on the inside of the wrapper.

Put in a favorite comic strip.

Write a short story and send it in installments.

On sandwiches draw a heart on the bread with mustard or ketchup from a squirt bottle. You need to leave something off the sandwich like tomatoes or lettuce for them to add later so they will see it.
