~~MONDAY MORNING MISCHIEF~~

Here is an example of how I am wasting perfectly good sunshine these days. When we check into a resort the first question asked is about how we plan to spend our time, what we plan to do. And of course, we don't really plan to do anything but relax and loaf around.
-------
Q:
What are your plans while you are away? 
What will you see and do?
Where will you go and walk each day?
What does your agenda show?

A:
[with echoes of last week's Le Mis tunes still dancing in my head!]

RETIREE'S VACATION AGENDA

Soak a little sunshine daily

Sitting on our balcony
See a lotta skin
Watch the people swim
Hear the children's laughter splashing down below me

Palms are waving all around us
Music playing off and on
Books and papers still surround us
Though we're staying far from home

Talking up a storm
Writing is the norm
Words are our companions as we sit together

Some are newly born
Phrases rattle round to tumble into pieces
Forming a review soon due
Weaving smaller essays too

Cook a little food
Perk a fresher pot
Chuckle at another memory long forgotten
Settle in to watch the news hour
Hope to stay awake all through

Dance a little dance
Play a little game
Numbers man is best at scrabble
Rummikub is still my win
Happy that we have each other
Even fifty five years in

-----
John takes walks while I take flights of fancy.
While others do Disney or hike wooded trails,
This year we're content to watch the world go by from our perch
And are thankful for this luxury to loaf together.
