Thanks, Bette. Just bought a new tent and all the goodies to match. Trying to get my wife to join me in the woods. We used to do a lot of tent camping when our kids were young, and I always found it to be very romantic. I’m hoping the super-duper, queen-size inflatable mattress I bought will persuade her to take the plunge. We shall see… ๐
Sounds like an awesome plan, Joe. Have fun! ~ Bette

Beautiful poem, but I think you meant “throne” not “thrown.” My fingers do that too. My brain thinks one word and my hands type another.
