"we eat lots of vietnamese food and buy jewelry that 'gives back'"
ReplyDeleteawesome. I want to live in that future.
Chris says he wants to be old because all old people do is travel and vote, as far as he can tell. But we'll do more. Much more.
This all sounds well and good, except I'll still be chasing after kids and cleaning the house and worrying about my mortgage.
ReplyDelete"and vivian stays up late, and sarah sleeps in"
ReplyDeleteThat IS a perfect world.
I request hammocks as well. For reading we'll all have time for. Close enough together to be companionable but not too close.
ReplyDeleteAnd I second the part about Vivian staying up late.
rachel- we'll have darcy or sydney come stay with your kids so you can come visit.
ReplyDeleteCould I really sleep in that would be awesome. Could we go to Maine as well and stay in a B&B?
ReplyDeleteand amen about the hammocks.
ReplyDeletehammocks. absolutely.
