And we know we have a perfect day awaiting us We drink coffee and we eat a lovely breakfast on the veranda looking over the ocean We go for a walk on the beach where volcanic rock makes hundreds of little tide pools - and we talk about how much the boys would love to explore on this beach Then we hang out in the pool ... and have a drink, or two, or three... And maybe some shots too...   And we listened to really great music... from morning 'til night. Tanya, Lori Morgan, Charlie Rich, George Jones, Conway Twitty... songs that I fell in love with growing up with my aunts and uncles in Knoxville... songs that make you sing And then we might start getting silly... or happy... or just plain stupid But, without a doubt, it was pure joy And then everything would start glowing orange... because the sun would start making its way below the horizon... And then it was Tuesday... and Wednesday... and the day of week or time of day did
