I had to go to the archives for this one
. . . oh gee, I’m blushing even thinking about something for this self-portrait challenge. I daresn’t say. I would have to adopt a pen name.
However, I could share this letter I wrote my sister a few years ago:
Dear Rachel,
The family canoed the Spokane River to Roosevelt Lake. We had two to a canoe—Calvin and I shared one. As we paddled along, Calvin said, “This is romantic.” And it was, he romantically dreamed that he was Lewis or Clark and I was his load of furs; I romantically dreamed that I was in Venice, and he was rowing my gondola. It was great.”
Love, Jane

That is great! My in-laws canoe all the time for their romantic dates. :-)
You two are such a great pair!
This totally has me giggling. Love the picture and the picture in my head of you two in that canoe.
Now THAT sums it up!!!!!!
Fabulous photo! Great post :)
Adorable! Love the photo, love the story. You two are just so cute.
You're so cute Jane!
Ahh... that really is sweet.
imagination can really be the best romance... this picture is soooo cute, i hope its framed somewhere in your home, it says so much..
What a FUN post!
It looks like Calvin is serenading you, so he got a kiss on the cheek....how cute!
Don't worry, another post to come....
I love it! It makes me smile to think of you in the canoe enjoying romance "together"!
Funny Jane, funny.
This is from the archives, it's from your 'blonde' days. Am I the only one that noticed? :)
I cracked up imagining you as a pile of furs. And imagining Calvin singing in Venice is just as funny. Love this SP.
I love it....each other's idea of romance coming together. Perfect
yes, sweet! of course, there's always the venetian in las vegas that could stand in for the real thing...in case you need a getaway.
We think canoeing is romantic too.
hehehehe I loved this post- especially the letter. I almost wet my pants laughing.
Sounds like you've both seen too many Anne of Green Gables episodes. But, ah, to be young and daydreaming again....

Ha! (I would also need the too-much-information-protection-program to do some of these SPT challenges this month.) (Not the only reason I've neglected my Tuesdays.)
Hey, I was just reading the 100 things about you... and got SO relieved to know that you didn't read bedtime stories because you were too cross by that time... THANK YOU... I always feel like the worst mom because by end of the day I AM so cross... so it's good to know that I'm not the only one that feels the frustrations of life... and also, I'm new to your blog, maybe I'm not blog lingo saavy, but what is SPT...
Funny Jane, I think that falls into the men are from Mars, women Venus theory.
What a cute couple! Love the different ideas of romance in your heads!
Just had to comment again- I love this post and that picture!
