Jani says, "Meet him at the office again. Only this time give his secretary a clandestine message for him in the top of your very feminine pen:

Hither my love!

Here I am! Here!

I announce myself to you.

This gentle call is for you my love,

For you!

These lovely lines were really penned by Walt Whitman whose birthday is May 31st."

Jani says, "Rent an Exer-cycle...for yourself, silly."

Jani says, "Start planning an overnight trip to somewhere 50 miles away. It's not a 'course that others may choose' and they may find you leaning toward loony but, as Patrick Henry would say, 'Give me liberty or give me death.' You are at complete liberty to do whatever your lil' ole heart thinks will make your man feel more loved, so take advantage of the fun ideas you are able to come up with for him."

Jani says, "Meet him at the office with a red plaid tablecloth and proceed to picnic in the park. Men really strongly dislike picnics so take along something easy to eat in the primitive manner. Try prosciutto and melon."

Jani says, "Whip up a set of banana splits to celebrate your  ____th day together."

Jani says, "Go fly a kite (with him)."

Jani says, "Shell a one-pound bag of pistachio nuts just for him."

Jani says, "Call him three times to tell him that you miss him."

Jani says, "Go on another diet so he can take you to the beach- or think about it anyway."

Jani says, "Put a lily-of-the-valley in his toothbrush rack."

Jani says, "Add a collection of Irving Berlin love songs to his record rack to celebrate the noted composer's birthday this month."

Jani says, "Have a pedicure. Then buy a sprightly set of sandals.Some men are hung up on feet."

Jani says, "For a very special occasion, order a Swedish masseuse at home for him. (Don't panic! Very few of them are really as gorgeous as Ursula Andress)."

Jani says, "Arrange to have his eyes checked at his convenience, and put some Murine atop the TV."

"He that laughs, lasts!"-Unknown

Jani says, "See that he laughs at least twice a day."

Jani says, "Stick a 'Happy Thursday'  pennant on his plate of sausages. (If it's Thursday.)"

Jani says, "Offer to make him a suit. Of course he'll say 'No, but to offer so much of yourself... (If he says yes, we're all in trouble.)"

Jani says, "Garnish his dinner plate with an olive branch on Peace Day, which gets celebrated in May."

Jani says, "Clean up the barbecue equipment yourself. You might even buy charcoal. You might even cook out."

Milk & Cookies

Jani says, "Put some extra money in his pants pocket with a note that it's for milk and cookies at 3 P.M."

Jani says, "Dab a tiny drop of your perfume on his necktie. He'll think of you all day and wonder why."

Armed Forces Day

Jani says, "On Armed Forces Day, give him a big hug and kiss, and tell him that you two are the best set of Armed Forces ever."

Take Me Out To The Ball Game!

Jani says, "Get him to take you to a baseball game. Look alive and beautiful and don't fuss about the mustard on your Arnel."

Jani says, "Lean over and open the car door for him when he's locked out.It's a little thing, but it saves him a step and shows you love him."

Jani says, "Light a candle by his bed tonight."

Roman Holiday!

Jani says,"Roman Picnic: Put a white sheet on you and on him and on the floor, serve him grapes and repeat 'Ego Te Amo' to each other. That's Latin for it."

Get Lost in Love!

Jani says, "Follow your heart. Isn't love a labyrinth?"

Jani says, "Say something in a billet-doux (French for love letter) something that Elizabeth Barret Browning would have said to her Robert. Pick one of the tender lines from The Sonnets From The Portuguese, mingled with your own personal lines of poetry."

Here is a sample of Elizabeth Barret Browning's Sonnets:

"The face of all the world is changed, I think,
Since first I heard the footsteps of thy soul
Move still, oh, still, beside me, as they stole
Betwixt me and the dreadful outer brink
Of obvious death, where I, who thought to sink,
Was caught up into love, and taught the whole
Of life in a new rhythm. The cup of dole
God gave for baptism, I am fain to drink,
And praise its sweetness, Sweet, with thee anear.
The names of country, heaven, are changed away
For where thou art or shall be, there or here;
And this . . . this lute and song . . . loved yesterday,
(The singing angels know) are only dear
Because thy name moves right in what they say.

Love Boat!

Jani says, "Go on a ferry ride. Or if you don't have one, get out on the water with him somehow. It's so-o romantic."

His & Hers

Jani says, "Get a set of matching shower caps. These are probably too inexpensive to find in the Neiman-Marcus his-and-hers catalogue."

May Day!

Jani says, buy him the 'First of May'. Well, anyway, paint the bathroom sunny yellow."
