I keep 'thinking' about this....

for both Before and After.

Before, to think about the 'fun' that is soon to start.
After, to reflect on the 'fun' that just happened.
Even better, if it's not JUST me and Her in the room, around the house.

She has never mentioned this type of protocol (not that I remember) so ...maybe it's just not ...Her thing?

Also, we don't always have ...a LOT ...   of time.
