I had a dream the other night that I was on a desert island and believe it or not, I had a laptop. I was writing away while the breezes gentley stirred around me. It was heaven. Hey, maybe it was???

It got me to thinking...who else would I want there with me. Or what else?

Food, water, and no, not Sam Elliott. I'm sure Tarzan would come swinging through at some point. He'll do...as long as he just visiting.

What I would really like to have there, since its my fantasy, is a state-of-thea-art office. THEN...I'd be happy...oh, one more thing...an Oreo Tree.

What about you?

Fess up...

Yes, many times I've dreamed of running away...and a desert isle sounds good, I think. The thing is I would want the option of coming back in a heartbeat (guess this is the purpose of dreams). I'd still want a laptop, too...sorry. A sunset before me, warm breezes and sand, a tall tropical drink...ahhhh, seems sooooo good because all I can see is the white, cold stuff outside my window! I think I'd want to be alone with some good music.

Ladyjane, I think you got hit with the same snow system we got. It's almost two feet deep in our backyard today. And my brother-in-law phoned from Quebec last night to say it was half way up their front door. But if I recall from the weather report, you (and New Brunswick) got hit even worse than we did.

So a warm desert island does sound appealing right about now. I'm going to be a wimp, though, and say that I wouldn't want to be there without my hubby. He's so strong and resourceful, a real live McGyver, so he'd be very handy to have around.

I'd hate to have to go without my afternoon cup of tea. Can I bring tea bags? And chocolate.

Well...I hope I'd be like the Gilligan's Island folks and just mysteriously have everything that I needed...exactly when I needed it...and it would all fit nicely in one suitcase...

Oh, and don't forget about waking up from a long night (in the jungle) with hair, mascara and makeup intact.

I don't think I'd want my lap top.

I'd like my husband, suntan lotion, a frozen drink, a good book, and great food. Sounds like I need a beach vacation.

Georgia, your Oreo tree made me laugh. Ross is next to me on the sofa here so he got a laugh out of it too.
