My Perfect Day (in real life)


Watching my guys fishing in the rain

Quietly reading on the dock under the rainfall

The perfect rainbow

Weather doesn’t matter

Making something simple for dinner

Everybody Happy

Deciding to go to bed early (midnight that is)

Getting in our pyjamas and walking through the cedar path with flashlights

Smelling the sweet scent of pine

Covering the little bed in the tent with our three favorite blankets; one from when I was a child and two from the old cottage

Lighting candles beside our “bed”

Chatting about our day (the same day as the last 17 days really of doing a whole lot of nothing)

Falling into each other’s arms in the moonlight

Feeling in love

Going for a little swim under the stars

Falling asleep with the gentle wind on our faces and our bodies warm and cozy

Waking up to a family of 8 ducks in the sunlight

Swimming as we wake up for a long time even before his morning coffee

Him snorkeling and me floating both together

Wishing it could last forever

Trekking upstairs to the house in our PJ’s to fetch milk, coffee and  warm cinnamon buns

Being able to have this time together even with three kids

Realizing life is sweet on some days

Both feeling like it was the perfect day

(if I had not lost my temper and called my husband an idiot for leaving the keys in the car ignition and burning the battery of the car and preventing me from being able to go do my errands before my gang of 15 arrived the next day-it would have been absolutely perfect.

(We settled for almost.)
