Rock Notes: A Simple Way to Say “I love you!”

Here’s a fun, quick, sweet way to show someone you’re thinking of them …

A few Christmases ago, I was out of town a lot. And me being out of town = Frit alone in the big house. And she hates being alone in the big house. Especially at night. Plus, we’re buddies. And who likes being away from their buddy? It’s lonely and quiet. So to help her feel not-so-lonely I tried to think of something fun to leave behind in my absence. “Rock Notes” were what I came up with. It was nowhere near as cool as the “Christmas in a Basket” that she sent me on the road with so that in every hotel room I stayed, from Idaho to Phoenix, I could set up my own mini tree complete with lights and ornaments, but it was my best effort during that crazy time.

I picked up some paint pens and river rocks (found at any craft store or the Wal-Marts) and quickly scribbled little notes on some and drew hearts on the others. Then I hid them all over the house, in places she would find while I was away.

The fun thing is that the Rock Notes are still in use even all these months later. They go back and forth between the two of us and you just never know when you’re going to go brush your teeth …

or pull back the covers …

or open a drawer …

or sit down at the piano …

only to find a little reminder that someone loves you. I’ve even found them in my luggage a time or two. It’s such a fun, simple way to let someone know you care.

*We also hide these hideous creatures for the other to find too, but that’s a whole different story.

Except to say that when I went to bed really late one night last week and found Mr. Bones tucked into my bed, I might have come close to peeing my pants. I might’ve. (From fright. NOT from laughter.)

Have a wonderful Wednesday! xo
