Off To Dreamland

Have any of you experienced one of those days
When you just want to stare at the sky on your chaise
Let the world pass you by
Sing a sweet lullaby
Till you're off to dreamland in the afternoon haze

Hubby says I can be awake one moment and snoozing the next... or was his word snoring? He says that's when Dragon gets bored, sneaks off, & gets into trouble. Yesterday I woke up to find him teaching the pase doble to his pigeon friends. They like 'Dancing with the Stars', too. They've so enthralled by what Dragon did that they've each asked to sit on his trophy, one at a time, and said that they'd be good. Actually he's carrying the trophy every where. The Sheriff of Crazyland is sooo jealous!

Hi Jack, Just beautiful, something you can do when you're retired. I've been retired 4 years now. When the cricket comes on early at 10:00 am sometimes I have to set the alarm to get up. And would you believe it the other day my remote control finger got sprained. Oh well, I guess someone has to do it. Kind regards---John
