If I Was a Millionaire

If I was a millionaire I would own a lake in the middle of a bunch of rolling hills. It would be stocked with fish and have a path around it for jogging. I would set my modest cabin up on the side of one of the hills with a fantastic view of my land and have various buildings where I pay people to keep them ready for my use at any moment. In one of these fabulous buildings would be a big theater with bouncy chairs to sit in and candelabrum sconces along the walls. When I arrived to watch a movie, the staff would open the door to the banquet kitchen so that I could pop my popcorn and the movie would be ready when I was.

Oh... wait... that is exactly what my day was like today. Ok... so I have to share this resort with other people, but all those other people obviously don't know what a fantastic holiday Thanksgiving is to spend here, because we have this entire place to ourselves!!

So, the movie was AWESOME and so was the popcorn. The indoor pool was warm and ours and now we're sitting in another one of those perfect-for-parties buildings where Ben is playing the Wii on one side and Jet and the Daddy-O are curled up on a couch, watching a movie on the other side. We will soon be having hot cocoa with marshmallows and I might go through the supply of puzzles to see if any fit my fancy.

And to all those millionaires out there, your money doesn't by you anything the majority of us can't have too except for power over the government and ulcers in your belly. ENJOY!


That's the lake, frozen, last January. It was our own private lake then too. Who couldn't love this?

  1. Christy and I completed the 250-piece puzzle with the little cottages while Amy slept on the couch. That was after a few rounds of pool. Everyone else was up at the condo taking a nap.
