I wasn't dating this next person, we were just the very closest of friends (in fact so close that most people thought we were a couple), but they have to be the sweetest things ever and for that reason I consider them romantic...Two years ago I was "abducted" for a mystery trip for my 52nd birthday. I didn't have a clue where we were going until we crossed over into Tennessee. We stopped to purchase apples then went on to a gallery (the real destination) where my friend purchased a print for me I'd wistfully mentioned in passing months before and hy'd apparently "filed away." (This was a limited edition and the odds of finding it were pretty slim.) We had a few other "adventures" before heading home, including the Tail of the Dragon - another thing I'd mentioned in passing. It was the most amazing day and I felt so special...just like a princess! A few days before (on my actual birthday) hy arranged a dinner with friends complete with surprise cake and musical candle. It was the first time anyone ever made a big fuss over my birthday. The other thing hy did was at Christmas that same year. I received a gift that was impossible to find. Around the same time that I mentioned the print I also mentioned that a "holy grail" for me was a signed, first edition of a certain book. Hys comment at the time was that it surely could not exist but hy found it and I was speechless.
