Veronica at Owl Wonder nominated me for The Daydreamer Award. “My paternal grandmother would be so proud,” I think, as I smirk and snort.
The rules for The Daydreamer Award:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award.
2. Complete the challenge they set you.
3. Select a blog or blogs that you want to give the award to. (The amount of blogs you select is unlimited!)
4. Tell them about it and set them a challenge.
(Please include the rules in your post)
Thank you, Veronica! I’m always pleased to be nominated for awards.
My common daydream lacks imagination, really, since it’s based in memory.
For several years, The Mister and I had a pattern of visiting my parents and escaping childless to a cottage on Sanibel Island.
Freedom from responsibilities.
Long days, uninterrupted by children or schedules.
Playing in the surf, walking miles of empty shore.
Raw oysters and cold beer.
Playing rummy.
Laughing and smiling until my cheeks hurt.
Long passionate nights.
Sleeping to the sound of the ocean.
Cheese and olives and wine.
My head in his lap while we read.
*sigh*
I suppose if I had a better imagination, I’d place my parents seaside, but much further north, and then I wouldn’t be dreadfully hot and sunburnt at the end of it. If I were a better daydreamer, I suppose it could be anywhere…
I nominate:

Thank you! Tomorrow you will discover how ironic this nomination is, but since I have been accused of daydreaming since ever, I’m going to reply/comply.

Love your daydream!!! I have yet to visit Sanibel Island but heard such wonderful things like you have stated here. I could use a cold beer right about now. 👍

I do love it, despite the heat. I mean, we’ve always gone in the summer, and it’s practically deserted — who doesn’t want their own beach 50 ft from the door?

I often daydream about having a citrus tree in my backyard someday. It’s a small dream, but it makes me think of sunshine, leisure, and sweetness. Probably won’t happen in NE Ohio though…

Likely not. My mother has a Meyer Lemon tree now and she adores it. It’s bearing fruit now. (In south Florida)
