how about drinking?

Gail.....congrats on getting your PC back intact. Even better that it is working great. Know all about catch-up, and you probably have to retrieve passwords, etc. In my case, I got rid of a lot of stuff that I had transfered over with my upgrade a year earlier.
NM......know all about wet and stromy weather. We are about 30% above normal rainfall for the year. That means endless clouds, but was really nice yesterday.
I stopped by the wine bar last night. Got chatted up by an OK looking guy who assumed I was roughly his age (even though I mentioned being "older"). I don't think he had any idea. Then talked wine with a couple in their early 30s who have just moved back to Seattle.
Good local veggies are finally coming back in. YAY!!!!
I am laughing at Marisa Weiss' quote about "fertilizing lawns" at the bottom of the screen. One I never got. Why would anyone want their grass to grow FASTER????? My take was always green and no poison ivy. Flowers were welcome. Clover in the mix helps with nitrogen and also keeps moisture in.
Today, this approach is called "ecology".
Speaking of "growing like a weed", my hair is finally there. So off to my 4 week trim later today. One thing breast cancer has done for me is teach me all about that whole world of hair care. So now look much better that way than prior to diagnosis.
Now to figure out my ride for today. Haven't cycled since Sunday, so need to get on my bicycle. Thinking about a wine trip across the Sound, but may do Fremont instead. Either one would be fun. Rose gardens are starting to come into bloom, so that may be the deciding factor. Plus the 3 Ferries group ride planned for tomorrow.
Anyway, hope everyone has the greatest weekend. - Claire

Chrissy, thank you for the Memorial Day wishes, hope you are well.
NM, thanks for sending two pink leopard chairs, one for Kymn and another for me, it has been awhiile since I had a drink with my favorate Canadian chicka. I am sorry you are not having beautiful weather. It has been perfect here since Wednesday and will continue through the holiday.
Claire, happy trails, what's for dinner? I won't be there tonight, having dogs n burgers n salads here.
Let's all have one for our soldiers and the brave men and woman, future, past and present! Cheers!
I am having a cook out today and friends will arrive in an hour. Just made my first drink, gonna be a long parTay! Yippie cay aye! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend. Cheers and titty up!
♥DorK
ps considering changing my name to this....should anyone I meet in the future ask me if I like to be called Dot or Dotty, I will say no, I like to be called DorK and see how that goes.....I thought of that while taking a capnap earlier and actually chuckled in bed over it....

Careful, DorK--giggle in bed can be misconstrued by those with less than pristine minds (like every here in the lounge)! Can you imagine explaining why the "K" at the end of DorK is capitalized? Could be fun way to mess with people's minds!
Claire--how nice to have choices in bike ride routes! Lilacs are just blooming here, roses won't be for another month or so, assuming we don't all float away in the rain/fog/drizzle. It is funny how what was once "not taking care of your yard" is now "ecologically responsible lawn care"! Gotta love the way the world changes without ever really changing. Hooray for fast growing hair and learning about hair care--nice to get something good out of all this bc crap.
Even Sadie is just lying around snoozing today. I really hope the sun comes out tomorrow. Or Monday, or better yet, both!

Last night at dinner we were talking about DD going to Toronto by herself and wondered about her flying along and going through customs alone since she is only 13....so I may end up going to Toronto after all, then go to my parents on Sunday from Toronto...it would mess up the day for the kids, but I would have time with my parents.....so there is a reason, 4 weeks before the trip that I haven't bought my ticket.......
My arms are still sore from all the lifting and schlepping...knees too when I walk up stairs..
Stanzie...DD#2 said that "piggy-sha" means reception or meeting
Got to go be social with my kids...will check in later or tomorrow. Sweet dreams, karen

Karen, thanks so much - now I know what he is talking about.
NM- I know how terribly upsetting things like these procedures are for you and especially anything with needles but even though there were lots and lots of people having colonoscopies done at the same time as I was, I did feel like they gave me special attention. And the Dr. I had when she read I had BC she was so nice. Afterwards when they found the polyp she had me meet her in a special conference room just so she would reassure me that it wasn't cancer. I was very happy with the way I was treated by the doctor. Anyway, hope you can find someone who will give you some special TLC. I've heard if patients really have a problem with the whole drinking of icky stuff they can take some kind of pill.
Went to hear Pattie Lapone tonight.... was disappointed. Now I know she had a bad cold but some of her choices were very dated and well frankly she sounded old. However she can still belt out some sounds loud as anyone... just had some weird modulations which sort of made her sound like she was trying to sing country? Hmmm. Of course built it up too much for my kids... Poor DS was in rehearsal for the play from 9:00am till 6:45 madly ate dinner and we were off by 7:15 for the show. He got out early from rehearsl apparently the director said they would go till at least 8:00pm! Now they barely have a break and no food other than what they brought with them at 9:00am. And she wonders (the director) why so many kids never try out for a play again! Grrrrr.
OK off to sleep my only morning in for a while.....

Huggsss to ALL--happy holiday, and happy extra day off!!!
NM--DH has talked me down from the being a temp pet parent--just 'cuz he knows he would get as attached as would I. So....taking your advice and will see if I can find which shelters have those darling pets and make a donation of $ or supplies! Your thought is more sane than mine!
My last post went "poof' and don't remembr what all I was jabbering about......so.....
Dot??? Dottie???? (or was that Dotty, like in feeble-minded/crazy????) LOL--don't care what anyone else calls you--to me, you will forever be, DorK........
Wahine should be checking in soon--how long do cruises last anyway? Hope she had a great time! Hope Lori is getting a little break over the week end--sometimes, me thinks she works too hard!
and, BUMMER! Had DH come out on deck this evening without the dog to make his noise--and asked "do you hear that strange noise?" And, as I suspected, it is the shrill hum of the cicadas on their march to the north. Right now, they are just an unusual, annoying buzz/shrill sound off in the distance--like someone using an electric drill......have only experienced them once about the last cycle (13 years ago???) and thought I'd go deaf during the week they were moving through......the next week will be interesting.....
taking my dog beers out to the pool--but first--gonna fix me a wee little drinkie poo of...of....WHITE RUSSIAN!!! bottomsup and tiddys wherever you want them to point!!!!

DorK-sorry you didn't find the pot o' gold, that's disappointing, for sure.
Karen-amazing how things work out for the best, isn't it? Have fun with the kids!
Stanzie-I wonder if I can find someone who will treat me like that. I found a freestanding clinic that does nothing but endoscopies. I've got to find out if they do upper endoscopies since I need that, too, and find out if the doc meets with the patient after the procedure. The gastro docs I've had so far just left a note "you did fine" and that was it, had to make an appointment with my PCP to get the full results after a copy of the report was sent over. The other thing I've got to get over is not wanting to tell my whole life story in a big room full of other patients and their families. I hate feeling like I'm on stage like that. I know I need to have this done, my mother has polyps and has to have this done every 3 years. I suppose I can try it after I find a doc that provides good care. Hope you had a good sleep in!
Junie-I only said what I did because I am the same way-if I go to "look" at the dogs in the shelter I will come home with one. So I support in other ways that do not require my physical presence, avoiding temptation! Sounds like you may need to stock up on earplugs for the next couple weeks! Maybe it won't be so bad this time? That's probably wishful thinking.
I'm going to go graze at the Sunday Buffet, and keep and eye out for Loungettes, there don't seem to be too many here this morning. I start my weekend job next weekend, and am so looking forward to that, it's going to be a sweet gig for me!. It is going to be so nice to have time to keep the housework up and play in the garden and go kayaking, and go swimming, and so on and so on, and so on! Hey, the sun is coming out!

Hey MN, nice buffet! My appetite is a little on off side so it looks like some real tempting food to choose from. Glad to see you are excited about the new job starting next weekend but you will be missed at the buffet!
Hope all you girls are enjoying your weekend!
I think after feeding my face with yummy things I might just make my way out to the pool and check out the DOTD at the swim up bar........it sounds really good!
TITZ UP!!!!

I may or may not be able to get on the boards Sat and Sun, depending on the visit schedule, but I'll be on every weekday! Hmm, maybe I'll talk to the tenders about moving the Sunday Buffet to Wednesday, and make it a "Hump Day" Buffet. . .

Now that's a good idea!

Hello chickies,
Just popping in for a drink. NM, the lounge is quiet. I loved the outdoor breakfast buffet, yummm, thanks.
The party is is still going on here, two of my friends stayed over night and are at the grocery store gettting more food. I fell down last night on the concrete and scraped my knee, it is ouchy. I am lucky to not be more hurt. Me tinks me drank too much -I tripped over the fire poker stick.
I hope everyone is having fab weather and an awesome drinken day. Tiddy up!

NM - cute dogs! And that buffet is darling... wish my yard looked like that.
Dorthy - we had a quick storm here too... I was driving in heavy "beach"traffic when all of a sudden it drizzled on my car. By the time I got to my destination it stopped but then rain a little more last night. We had wind too! That's a lot of weather for us.
Stanzie - we had friends over for dinner and then went to hear their friends' band in a dive bar. They played covers but they were pretty good and everyone at the bar was so happy and nice. I have been disappointed quite a few times at live shows. Sometimes I think it's better to have no expectations.
Well I had my last martini for awhile... last night at the dive bar. I hardly ever drink anything but wine so DH forgot that I always order Bombay Sapphire. Not sure what was in my drink but I have felt like crap for the past 12 hours. When gin is bad it is very, very bad. Had to remind myself to choke down some toast this morning and am just starting to feel better. Never again... just not worth it! I'm even passing on the DOTD today. There was this large woman at the bar with HUGE boobs. I thought maybe it was just my fixation but my friend noticed too and she asked me if they were real! We made a game of watching how all the men in the place couldn't keep their eyes off her... she was strategically parked so that men had to walk past her to get to the bathroom. DH is not the most observant person so he missed her on the way in but when he saw her on the way back he immediately looked straight at me and made a beeline back to the table... where he asked me if they were real. I guess I've become the booby expert.
Just realized that my entire journey of reconstruction was graphically documented on my pc.. hope the geeks didn't open that folder! It also contained my advance directive and bc research docs.

Oh my gosh, Gail!!!! I have the same thing on my computer and when the last guy came over to help me I had this picture package and for a screen saver it cycled through my photos!!! I was terrified the whole time that one of those pictures would come up! I since then have cancelled that picture package!
NM- Gosh I think everyone wants their parties to look as lovely and as inviting as that one! But what on earth are those things in the picture above....am I missing something ??
I'm thinking Kathy liked the cruise so much either she has signed up as head bartender or she is passed out under some table and will take a while to find her....
When I was in college my friends and I all decided to get together when we were 65 and have a huge pig out drinking party as we figured we wouldn't care about our figures and wouldn't be dieting. About 10 years after college we lowered the age to 55 I believe.... gosh it sounded so old and so far away then.... The big thing we didn't count on was not being able to party and handle the drinks and such like we did at 19!

Ewwwww.....can only imagine what that evil martini tasted like. A lot of cheap gin tastes like paint thinner. I personally keep Boodles in the house as sometimes like a G&T or gimlet.
I can still do OK in the "wine tasting" department.
Just got back from a fun group ride. Will be doing some more events with them later in the summer. But the most fun time riding along the shore, both in Seattle and on the other side of the Puget Sound. Took the Bremerton Ferry back.
I need to go to the market as have tons of veggies, but lack basics like dinner fixings and milk. Also want to take advantage of whatever special is on offer.
We had lunch at the wrong festival so had a hot dog and then mango ice cream. Wonderful BBQ etc on the other side. But will make amends with dinner.
Pictures are something all of us need to be careful with. I remember someone who worked for me showing me pictures of his "rocker" days. Told me a lot about him, and I don't think things he wanted me to know.
Thus, the best place for those pictures is on a device that isn't connected to anything. Can't go anywhere that way.
Have the most wonderful PAR-TAY ladies. Hoping Beans joins us soon. Getting a bit worried about her, but do remember how the creeping crud made me want to creep into my bed and stay there. - Claire

Went to IKEA with DD and SIL to look for kitchen tables....the spot for the table is small, need something no wider than 35"....not a lot of options...think SIL was a little disappointed...his priority is to get a kitchen table first so they don't have to eat at the dining room table all the time....then some things for living room etc....We had BBQ at his parents and now home...DD is going to start putting together the microwave cart, but first she is at a CPR refresher class for work....My flight is at 7:40, SIL's father is taking me to the airport...picking me up at 5:45, so need to go to bed at a decent time.....Need to keep putting off buying my tickets for this summer...finally have an itinary...Toronto for 5 days to my kids again with DD#2, then to FL for 3 days and then Israel for 26 days....I will be gone just shy of 5 weeks....buying tickets is a little complicated....going to use United miles for Toronto, buy ticket to FL to my parents, the use my credit card miles plus pay for ticket to Israel, so 3 different purchases....So guess what I'm going to do now....yup, stop procrastinating and do the tickets...also need to remember to buy DD#2 ticket home from camp!!!! OMG....how much money will I be putting on my credit card???? Staying with friends for part of the time in Israel, just need to confirm the dates, then find housing for the rest of the time.....So sweet dreams to one and all and have a good Memorial Day....I have a busy day when I get home.....buy will be sure to check in at some point in time. Hugs, Karen
It took me an hour to book my flights for this summer as well as DD#2 flight home from camp....I leave in just over 3 weeks and then I'm gone for almost 5 weeks!!! I've never travelled for that long of a period of time......it will creep up fast....SIL is excited that I'll be back in 3 weeks...he told me that I shouldn't stay up too late tonight...need to get up at 5am if I want to shower.....so have a glass or two of merlot with me at the bar by the pool....need to relax this sore old body....see you tomorrow night....Hugs, Karen

Kymn-good morning! I wish you could take time off, too. It does make it a lot easier to get through treatment and it's side effects. Hope you're having a good weekend, too!
Claire-I'll have to remember Boodles next time I go booze shopping. I'm more of a rum girl, myself. Love Capt'n Morgan! The farm stands and farmer's markets will be opening up now, I am so happy that I will be able to start getting some fresh, local veggies. Mango ice cream sound yummy! Even if you were at the wrong festival at least you got something good out of it.
Karen-All the ticketing stuff sounds complicated! But it sounds like you've got it figured out, good for you! Hope you have a great time in Israel, make sure to take lots of pics to show us.
Beanie-hope you're feeling better soon!
Good Morning to DorK, Junie, and everyone else who hangs out here. The tenders have a great BBQ started-whole entire pigs and huge haunches of beasts and lots of veggie stuff, too! I'm
hungry already! 
DOTD: Thank You to our Vets
2 oz Dark Rum
1/2 oz Cherry BrandyDirections
Pour rum and cherry brandy into an old-fashioned glass almost filled with ice cubes. Stir well, and serve.

Ok, I am 3 pages behind, so not sure if I will get caught up!
Gail, love your idea of teaching the kiddies how to make cocktails, that was a hoot!
Junie, they had that story on our news as well. Glad you and your family are all ok!
LOL@ DorK...........AGAIN! AA hanging up on you! HOLY COW, I am looking at the time stamps of yours and Junie's posts, you goils pull an all nighter?
And who is that GORGEOUS blonde? Oh that's Mitch! Nice avatar Stanzie. I am almost certain that is you, and you look stunning. So cute how you are trying to tell Karen what your son was trying to explain to you.
Karen, you sure are busy at your daughters, what a great mom you are to go and help with her move. And I am sure you were so glad to see her as well.
Kymn, glad you are back and feeling better. Just keep telling yourself you are almost done!
Gail, glad you got your puter back and all is well!
NM, I hope you will get some nice weather this holiday weekend.
Well, I haven't been on as DH woke me 5am Friday morning, said to pack an overnight bag and be in the FJ at 6:30! I'm like WTF? Why are you waking me up? Anyways, we went to Albuquerque to a Nursery and then to some antique stores, spent almost $150 on some perinials, 28 plants in all. Then hit a flea market on Saturday on the way home. Found a few oddities! Ok, I only made it half way through page 503, and that took almost an hour! Need to get outside and get to planting. Happy Memorial Day..........especially to our Wahine. Thank you Kathy for serving our Country!0 -
I'm baaaaaack! Morning Ladies!!! Got home late last night. Was upgraded to 1st class frm ATL-Orlando both ways, so really took advantage of it yesterday. One hour flt and I had FIVE dwinks...3 Jack 'n Diets and a double Baileys on Rocks....yummmmmmmm! Next short flt was so HOT, thot it was cause I dwank so much on earlier flt, but parents said it was really hot too. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I did come home with a headache (hangover? nah!)! Nice to be home though. Cruise was very nice...we had balcony rooms next to each other, 9th flr, so great views. Food was excellent, esp desserts...had to change to early dindin for parents (6pm!), so was still full from lunch...LOL. THought I gained 10 lbs, but just 2 extra pounds showed up....yay! NOW to try to lose a gazilllion pounds this summer, as I wouldn't even put my swimsuit on, so really need to make some changes. St. Thomas and St. Maarten were waaay hot and humid. Coco Cay was nice and breezy, and we walked around the island and lounged in hammocks attached to palm trees. Funny thing was when DH tried to get out of his, as it was very low to ground...took him forever and was soooooo funny....I know he was in pain but I couldn't help but giggle anyway. Our tablemate at dinner (his wife was there too) got tooooo close to me....his goodbye hug was toooo much and he told me how awesome he thought I was....also he thought I was beautiful....HUH???? With his wife right there....and they have only been married 2 yrs....I think I see some twouble in pawadise there!! I ALMOST got on the flowrider....stand-up surfing...younger guys keep trying to get me to try it but I chickened out. It was fun to watch though. Also had the climbing wall and a skating rink on board. Used to be the largest ship, but I think a new larger one just was built. Too big for us though....4400 passengers, and then add crew, etc. The promendade area w/ shops and rooms overlooking it was cool and they had parades, shows, etc right there.
OK......on the teeeny netbook, so only read back a couple of pages so far. I gleaned that NM is not wanting to have a colonoscopy? My DH had the endoscopy and colonoscopy at the same time....does your dr do both? Then you only have to be put under once. Glad the other gals mentioned that the procedire is MUCH better than getting colon cancer...and they take out any polyps at the same time, which are pre-cancerous and could keep you from ever getting it. So now I will nag you till kingdom come till you get it scheduled!!!!! And someone said beans is under the weather??? Haven't read back enuf yet....what is going on Beans???? Hope you are ok now!!! And Junie sounds like you and DorK had some dwunken fun too....sounded like a blast. And Karen, glad you were able to help the kids move in! Such a nice mommy!!!! As far as your big 5 wk trip coming up that you arranged with diff tickets, I hope there is enuf time between tix so you won't miss any flights. When they are booked separately, the airlines aren't as responsible for delays. Only when the flights are all on the same res. I met some newlyweds whose flt was delayed 5 hrs and so they missed the cruise. Was surprised the airline put them up, then FLEW THEM to St. Thomas, so they could get on the cruise there. They did have to pay for 2 nights on St. Thomas, but hey that was much cheaper than a last minute flt there, would have cost. Glad they didn't miss all of it. It is always so funny, that when you meet newlyweds, you NEVER see them again till the end of cruise! LOL. Duh! Oh, my DH met a good friend of his on the cruise, they used to play racquetball and had worked together, but hadn't seen each other for a few yrs....this was that guys first cruise....so was so neat to see him there!! What a small world.
OK girls, not to bore you toooo much, so I had better stop typing now. Came home to mid-90 degree temps....for all this wk....yikes! Everyone have a FANTASTIC MEMORIAL DAY!!!!
Hugs, Kathy (aka Raquel Risque Wisque)
P.S. Just saw your post, Lori! (Took me so long to type!). Sounds like you had a nice fun, surprise weekend!!!! And so sweet of you remembering I was in the Army (National Guard). DH always tells the g'kids that "Grandma wore Army Boots"! He was in the Air Force National Guard too. Love that the stewardess had us all clap for a soldier returning from Afganistan....really thankful for all the active duty soldiers that give up so much!!!! OH, yesterday DL had a plane have smoke in the cockpit, landing in ATL, and the night before DL had a plane arrive in ATL w hard landing and caught fire. That is where we landed yesterday too, on DL, so were thankful our flight and landing were okay!!!!

OK, hope this won't be another toooooo long post, but finally got caught up on all the posts I missed, and although I can't respond to ALL the kewl posts, will get to what I can. First off, Lori, that gardener pic was AWESOME....can I borrow him, huh, can I, can I??? LOL. Gail, I didn't get to see your pic of your new hairdo...can you post it? Pwetty Pwease???? You must have changed your avatar back to Gail Storm, so I totally missed it. Would love to see it though! NM...fiddleheads? Never tried them...looks so strange though, but must be yummy. YAY to DorK for "finally" guessing Stanzie's name! That was such fun though! And Stanzie, I didn't know that Margaret Mitchell got run over in Atlanta. So sad. Is your friend doing better with his shingles? My uncle in AR has it so bad right now, that it went into his eye and he may lose that eye. He is married to my aunt (dad's sis) who is now 96, and active. So nice you have a new friend.....and she must adore you as you are such fun to be around. Neat that her dad used to work for Johnny Carson....I got to kiss him once...after asking his wife first! Just quick peck...not like the french-kissing with Ricky Nelson! Oh, those were the days!!! Oh, and did you get that real snake out? How scary, and funny thought that you thought they meant the fake snake. Hope it wasn't a copperhead or water moccasin (sp). Chrissy, Hope you are feeling better and not having those horrid coughing fits and sneezes that are so painful!!!! Karen, I think it was you who likes the Bailey's Choc Mint? Well, our ABC store here stopped carrying it right when I went in to look for it. SO, we bought 2 bottles on the ship.....DH liked it too, so I may have to hide the bottles....j/k. But thanks so much for introducing me to it. He also bought the really $$$ bottle of Patron....the highest one they make. Thought their regular one was good, but now he is spoiled. So paid big bucks for likker we bought on ship, then got the cheap $3.89 bottles of Virgin Islands Rum! Guess we're fixed for awhile.
OK......now to tackle mounds of laundry. OH we had put Mav on a diet right before we left, but DD had to give him more food, as he started growling at Molly and taking HER food. So will have to start it again this week.....too bad Mav can't put ME on a diet!! LOL. Take care...signing off for awhile. OH Beans, are you well now???/ Hope so!!!! Luv you all....

LOL!!!!!! Kathy - Welcome Back - we missed you. Is it just me or when I ready kathy's posts I tend to read them at warp speed like she is talking a mile a minute! So glad you had fun - doesn't really sound like you relaxed much unless you count the pass out time in the hammocks. Funny about your hubby - I'm thinking he probably wasn't quite as amused. Wow, I live here and I haven't heard about all the Delta misshaps but then I must not be keeping up with the news enough.
NM- Love the guy with the boarding pass.... Looks so much like my on again off again I'm afraid to say! What is it with you all Esp, first the cat hat and now this? Ha Ha.
Thanks to all the Military today - Kathy you and your Hubby!!! wow, Outstanding. If I can figure it out will change my avatar to my Dad in his Coast Guard uniform....
0 -
Whew took a bit but I got the avatar changed.
Karen - Your trip/trips will be wonderful! I know you must feel better to have the tickets all done even if your credit card will be a fright when it come in. What an amazing trip that will be.Know you must feel good to have... your daughter? moved in and settled.
Kathy - Ok we need the story of when you attacked oh, whoops I mean Kissed Ricky Nelson. Did I tell you my cousin's wife's MIL played the neighbor on the Donna Reed show. Oh wait Ricky Nelson is a Nelson not a Reed.... sorry spent about 2 hours trying to get my NEW printer to connect and scan. It took me 3 days with my old printer which I only recently figured out and then the back hinge snapped so had to buy a whole new printer.. Hate how everything is so cheap these days.! Grrree

Oh such a nice picture of your Dad, Stanzie!! I was the ONLY one in my family (till I married), in the military. So, of course I BELIEVED the recruiter...was a single (divorced) mom and he said I would get to see my baby & toddler....NOT....only saw them 2x in 3.5 months. Was such torture, but I joined up to have add'l income to support them with (never got the court-ordered child support). But thru the NG is how I met my late DH (he was a Green Beret in the Guard), so was definately worth all that I went thru. As far as Ricky Nelson, my friend in HI knew his keyboard player (Stone Canyon Band), so after the show in HI we went backstage...guess he liked my slinky long dress! LOL. Anyway, HE was the one kissing me...we talked about his late dad....and he invited to their Garden Party (70's)....but when I saw "wifey" arrive, I just stayed home! Didn't realize he was still married, but didn't "do" anything but kiss. God, he was a hunk...I always had a crush on him...sadly he died a short drive from where I live.now...small plane crash on New Years Eve....he came to play at a small club his friend owned. I also got to meet a lot of stars when I worked at Hertz in HI. Neat you met Stephen King though...I like his books too, esp the childrens one about the princess, but I always forget the title!

Kathy, I will try to swim up and float next to you and have a few for Pau Hana. The pool is glorious and i am just minutes away from the water.
My house is soooo hot, the AC is set at 75 and has run all day and stuck at 80. I wished for warmth so will not complain. The humidity is low but over 90 degrees. I had a perfect weekend and hope you all did too.
CheerS! and gitty up, titty up!
