Daydreamin'

Sometimes it's fun to daydream of life in another place and time.   
Not that I'm not happy with my life the way it is ... but sometimes daydreamin' is fun!
Here goes.
By the way, all the pics are from my recent travel in Portugal in the Douro Valley.

 I'll be watching for you as you come by train


waiting here in the coolness of the one room station


We'll stroll down the town's small main street


 And you'll chuckle at the thought of me in this small village
far removed from my once
comfortable life


We'll grab my car, the one you said was not my style


And begin our short journey to my home


 You will be surprised at its modesty


You always figured me for a girl in something like this,
but you had me figured wrong


I'll make us some coffee and we'll walk among my 
young vineyard


And I will tell you of my dreams of how my young grapes
will someday turn into a strong vineyard


and folks will come from around the world
to taste my fine port wine


and from this fine business that I have created


I will expand my small home
so family and friends will come and visit 

like you


And we'll stroll among the olive trees or
 cruise in my boat



But that is all to come
and the day will be drawing late, my friend,
so we will sit and have dinner
 talk and laugh
and sit in wonder 
of the 
beauty that surrounds us


In the morning, I will drive you back to the train station


and bid you goodbye
until the next time

Wasn't that fun!

What's your daydream?

PS.  No Portuguese grapes were injured in this daydream.
