> DH treated me to some S.E.X too. I had planned or course to buy a bit

> needed a bit more of this and that.
> I bought mostly flannels to compliment those I have been collecting

> DH got me some to die for oriental prints (another grouping in the > making).
> He was most surprised to find one of the owners was a man! So the two

> message he came in here and I read what I had already written to him.
> His comment back to me just now is "What am I becoming??!!"

> We were there about 2 hours all together between touching and feeling
