Tuesday Ten – Page 15 – Lemon Drop Pie

Perfect days don’t happen very often, if at all. What would it take to make a perfect day?

10. My perfect day would start by waking up with my husband next to me. On a normal morning, he leaves the house by 6 and I’m usually still in bed. Most mornings I don’t even see Ed! We’d start the day with a bottomless pot of coffee. Strong, black, wakes me up and yet doesn’t give me the jitters. The sun would be streaming into our kitchen and we could enjoy our coffee and the newspaper on the patio.

9. The kids would sleep in really late and not get up at 6:00 like they do now.

8. I would NOT get breakfast in bed. If you ever saw my breakfast in bed on my birthday and Mother’s Day, you would understand why. Breakfast in bed is such a sweet gesture by my children, but it’s so impractical and usually involves dry toast.

7. I would NOT have to pack school lunches. This is important. I’m sick of packing lunches!

6. I would have time to read a book. All. by. myself.

5. My perfect day would be filled creating wonderful things; I would be able to finish my quilt; write my book; paint my bathroom…and all my projects would get finished!

4. I would have my favorite lunch (I’m not sure what that would be, but it would be really fabulous and made by someone else) and the someone that made my lunch would also wash the dishes.

3. Have you noticed that my perfect day seems to be at my own house doing my own things? Of course, the perfect day would also be a fun-filled day with my family, having an outdoor adventure similar to our Grand Canyon adventure or our Alaskan adventure.

2. A perfect day also includes 3 square meals, so a steak dinner like the one my husband and I had at Fleming’s would not be out of order.

1. I’d end the perfect day the way I began it; with my husband next to me.

What would make your day perfect?

This perfect day may also fit the description of a Tall Tale! We’re spinning Tall Tales on the Spin Cycle this week; write a tall tale of your own and link it up any day this week to the Spin Cycle, co-hosted by Gretchen and myself! Click here for details.

Today is National “Don’t Cry Over Spilled Milk” Day, so Lisa and Rabia decided to have Tuesday Ten be all about things that make us cry.

10. Onions. It’s true. Whenever I chop onions, I cry like crazy. It’s not just an old wives tale but a real problem.

9. People complaining about the weather. I know, I’m going to get in trouble for this one. Let me give you a little preschool lesson. What month is it? That’s right, it’s February. What season is it? Winter. Where do we live? Northern Illinois. We always have cold and snowy weather in February, and the last time it was unseasonably warm in March, the apple orchards got confused and we had a terrible local crop of apples. That made me cry, too.

8. Country music: See the following.

7. Kip Moore – “Hey Pretty Girl”

Hey pretty girl, when I see the light
And it’s my time to go,
I’m gonna thank the Lord for a real good life
A Pretty little girl and a beautiful wife.

6. Tim McGraw – “Don’t Take the Girl”

Take the very breath you gave me,
Take the heart from my chest.
I’ll gladly take her place if you’ll let me,
Make this my last request,
Take me out of this world,
God, please don’t take the girl.

5. Faith Hill – “My Wild Frontier”

Then one Calgary morning
Still as glass
While my baby lay sleeping, an angel slipped past
And with one breath said I’m taking him back
To his Father in Heaven.

4. Hymns my mother sang. When we sing them in church, I can still hear my mother’s voice, singing as clear as a bell. And that makes me cry.

3. Watership Down, by Richard Adams. That last sentence kills me every time I read it.

2. Baptisms. Every time a baby is baptized at church, I tear up, and think about when my own two babies became children of God.

1. The Easter Story. The promise of eternal life and meeting God in heaven, along with my loved ones, makes me cry with joy.
