to…
• wake up and not need to immediately take the dog out because one of the Fabulous Lilly Boys (FLB) already has done the job
• make extra coffee and enjoy it on the back deck in the morning sunshine
• find the newspaper on the dining room table without having to actually leave the house
• sample an array of baked goods, thoughtfully selected by one of the FLB, from the Delso’s Bake for You
• take a walk along the Normanskill with the FLB and Jeter, too.
• not have to referee a single spat or argument between the FLB
• a brief nap and a long run, order of said events unimportant
• walk to the Capital City Gastropub without a single complaint from the FLB about how far it is (<1 mile)
• two (3?) glasses of wine at aforementioned dinner destination
• climb into a freshly made bed with a good book
It’s really that easy. I don’t want or need flowers, chocolate or jewelry. A card, preferably handmade, is always appreciated and saved forever. Could someone please get this list to the FLB?

Hint, hint, wink, wink…I hope someone does get this to your boys…
It’s disconcerting to see the FLB refer to your progeny. I keep thinking you are expecting more of my participation in your life. It all sounds perfectly reasonable, but I’m afraid I can only let down one mother per year… and mine has dibs.
