Going away to a cabin, waking up to a lovely breakfast followed by a swim, then perhaps a boat ride to go fishing.

Come home to have supper, enjoy the smell of the fresh air and being in the middle of the woods.

Have a relaxing hour or so in the hot tub then go inside to enjoy the fire and drift off to sleep later on, feeling great after all that fresh air and sunshine!

Waking up before everyone else (even the dogs) and getting a pot of coffee all to myself. That's a good start. Not having to cook at all - not even make a sandwich for anyone, that would make it even better. A foot massage. A good book that I can start and have time to finish all in one day. And of course the bubble bath, with a beer.

It's hard to think of a perfect day, just because I'm always thinking of what I need to do, or what else I could be doing, or who else should be with me. But....

Grandma and I went up to a ski resort once in the summer, no skiing, obviously, and it was good rates. We got a sorta-condo at one of the lodges. We went out horseback riding, took the ski lift to the top of the mountain and walked back down, lovely crisp sunny weather the whole time, ate out at a nice local restaurant, used the fireplace that night as it got chilly, and talked and, from a big cushy couch, watched the fire burn down to a perfect bed of coals before retiring to the bed in the loft. In the morning, I made some omelets that came out just right, and we were in robes that came with the room, sitting on barstools at the counter, eating the eggs, sipping at champagne, and looked at each other with the same thought that I voiced: "This is perfect."

So I guess that was a perfect day, because we said so.
