1. OR go to a local winery, if you have one in your area.  Enjoy the wine tasting and browse the shelves.  Then buy a bottle, and take a drive to a nearby location and buy some cheese and bread. 

 

Share the feast together on a park bench or even in your car watching the sunset over some beautiful hillside, and listening to a romantic CD in your car.

 

2. Check out the seniors trips in your area.  Many offer a nice day on the road with a visit to a special restaurant and maybe even a show. 

 

Bring along some snacks for the bus ride and wear comfortable walking shoes and buy your love a special memento in a shop to remind her/him of the day you spent together.

 

3. If you are up the exercise, consider taking golf lessons together.  If you prefer something more sedate and shorter sessions, sign up for a gourmet cooking class. 

 

You’ll have a great time cooking up a storm and feeding your love special bites of the foods you’ve cooked. 

 

AND you can try your hand at cooking these meals at home together to keep the fire burning.

 

4. Go to an auction and have a ball bidding on items for charity.  Pick something you both like in advance if you get there early and keep an eye on that. 

 

If you can’t afford it, you can at least enjoy watching the bidding process.

 

OR go to a Sunday flea market or an art show in the park on a weekend.  Walk around and visit the vendors, sit on a bench to take a break and share a cup of tea or an ice cream cone. 

 

5. Another great place to spend an early Sunday morning is a local Farmer’s Market, if you have one. 

 

Shop for fresh vegetables and interesting items and then go out for brunch or go home and use your fresh items to make a nice meal.

 

6. Join a monthly book club together and attend the meetings as a couple.  While you are reading the book during the month, you can meet to read to each other.

 

Or talk on the phone, or over dinner, about the book, and share your thoughts about the characters and the plot.
