I hopped a plane from Cleveland Oh, to West Palm Beach Fl. After taking a Xanax to calm my nerves, I arrived safe and sound. Malloc told Sarah not to pick me up, but Malo made her. Thanks Malo !!! Waiting what seemed to be an eternity, luggage finally arrived. 30 seconds later, this young man claimed I had his luggage. Indignant, I showed him the name on the ticket. OMG I cant believe it had his name! We had the exact same luggage. I blame that mistake on the Xanax. Due to the fact that I had been up since 3am, we had to stop for coffee. Sarah said I kept falling asleep and snoring, but I swear I wasn't.
Finally arrived at Sarah's and Malo's beautiful home, where Sarah whipped me up some cheesy scrambled eggs and cheesy grits, bacon and toast. No matter what Sarah says, I only ate my own toast.
Later on we went to the pool, where I got us invited to this swinging St Patty's day party. My date for this party was an 84 yr old, VERY hard of hearing man. Did i say VERY hard of hearing? My dollar for the raffle somehow got lost in the pool which was found later. Notice all the beads Sarah and I collected at party. Not sure who conked out first, but notice one of the sectors didn't get done. :) More to follow tomorrow.
"We had the exact same luggage"
ok...now just to let you know...her luggage was pink and the guys was orange...can you say xanax. Hehe
hmmmm...where did my toast go?
The dollar, started out ..umm...tucked in a secret place in Char's suit. After a few laps...that is when it ended up in the pool. Or well..Char found it somewhere later. Hehe
We were exahusted after collecting all those beads...
Day 2...
The morning hunt. I banged on Char's door, get up...get up! After trying to log on UOA somehow Char had it going around and around...in a loop. She messed up Malo's UOA, matter of fact,I heard Char messed up everyone's UOA this morning. ::) So she had to play without it. We had a great time anyway.
Following the hunt and after playing a while, I whipped up bacon, grits, cheese eggs and yep toast. I hid mine. ;D
Then we got ready and hit all the stores we could stand. We had success and got a few bargains each.
Lunchtime! We decided to eat at Pelican Cafe where you can kick off your shoes and sit at a picnic table in the sand to have a fine fried shrimp dinner or fish and chips or such. Believe it or not, Char does not like fish...WHAT???
L..LL...L..Loaded nachos was her choice. We both tried the key lime pie and made a pack then and there to try key lime pie from every where we eat this week so we can decide which establishment makes the best key lime pie...I am sure someone wants to know.
Next we went to Chastain Beach which is the beach where Malo and I got married. The water was cold but Char decided to try it out or did I say fall in...after being knocked over by a big wave...Hehe...we had a great time...headed home and almost went to bed.
But well...those strawberries were calling...yep...we almost made the best Strawberry daiquiri's around. I say almost cause we had to try a second time to get them just right. ;)
And why is sarah posting under my name? Hmmmmm
Cause you stole my toast! ;D
You girls seems to have a great time. Keep it up!
;D
I love this! I wish I could try your Daiquiris, by the way ;-)
Sorry the pics are so large, we are not sure how to make them smaller.
*Sigh* Everywhere you go, you end up causing some sort of trouble...
Wonder if Sarah is going to have trouble getting her back on the airplane to get home?
Just throw some flaming gingerbread men cookies at her, that usually gets her to running ;D
Day 3 - After having pizza for breakfast, we decided that due to having such busy couple of days, we would just stay at the house and lounge by the pool for the day and relax. As usual, I was doing my laps and when I got out, an elderly gentleman said to me, "I swear I just saw a mermaid". I think I'm in love. lol *Sighs* Why can't someone my own age say that? hahaha
...having Pizza for breakfast...
*puzzled*
You're on the wrong coast; but, that's okay. Nice over there, too. ;)
Hope those were some proper Plant City strawberries!
Day 4. Had a fantastic time at the casino today. Didnt win anything, but only took what I could afford to lose. Played the.ponies also!. When we got back we had dinner at the country club and took pics of the sunset. If ya hear anything else a out today, Sarah lies.
OMG!!! A day with Char is never dull! Day 4 began with the morning hunt. We then got ready for our trip. Even though we were busy getting ready, I threw together some bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits. You will notice the fine china I always use in the pics. ;D
Unbelievable, we got to the bus to start on our trip and Char and I had to sit very close to the back. I am not sure if it was the wind or our driver but the bus swayed side to side almost bad enough to make a person sick. No, Char was not sick but yes, she had to use the restroom on the bus. You can tell this is leading somewhere. Char went to the restroom and a little later, the bus driver came over the intercom..."will someone help the person in the restroom, the emergency button has gone off several times and she has been in there for a while." I raised my hand and said "I will". But before I could get up the door opened, out staggered Char. The whole bus applauded! How many people do you know that gets an applause for coming out of the restroom? *shakes head*
As we got near the casino and dog racing park, Char wanted a picture of the Pegasus outside the casino. She stands to lean toward the window and "help Sarah, I am stuck!" She had gotten her purse strap tangled in the arm of the chair. Only Char.....
When we got there we had to show our licence to get a members card made. We did that and started walking around to the slot machines listening to which was calling our name. Well we sat at a machine that had a large spinner at the top. We each had one. If you know Char and I, we do get excited! When we hit the spin button a large spinner dropped and you got to spin the wheel! we were shouting "BIG MONEY, BIG MONEY!" A large group started forming around us. We were the place to be, the girls to watch! I hit the correct spin to have koi fish all over my screen and I had to hit the fish to rack up money! We were raking in the money! Char had already turned her $20 into $96.
After a bit we went to the window to place a bet on the ponies. We got a guy that was extremely nervous. He probably heard rumors of Char! We made our bets after quite a few questions, got lunch and they were off....We shouted and carried on only to have our pony end up 4th. We saw a pony with a colorful mane and thought about Bo and his rainbow pony. By the 4th race we were getting pretty good at picking those ponies and our pony won! You can imagine our screaming and carrying on! Char won $27 on it, I won $8.60. ;D
Anyway, did I mention we used our licence to get that card earlier? It was getting close to time to go and Char said "OMG! Where is my licence? Sarah, where did we use our licence?" Yes, yes, yes...she had left her licence at the booth. Did I say a day with Char is eventful!
On the way home, on the bus, Char wanted to try that bathroom again, but I was on the aisle side so I talked her out of it and trapped her in. Hehe
Traffic was terrible but we made it back to the club house and Malo was waiting for us and we all had dinner there. Char and I took pictures of the sunset behind the clubhouse.
Malo took us home and we almost passed out from exhaustion.
We will add the pictures tomorrow. ;)
No explanation needed.
You see those people? First Char had to go up to 4 strangers at our pool and tell them she is my friend. :o Then she had the nerve to ask them to spell out OHIO. They responded that they are from New York but she said that was alright, she would help them spell it. Hehe
No one called her a mermaid while I was there...just saying!
Our last day was very relaxing. We put some of my puzzle together and just visited.
Got up at 3am to take Char to the airport. We had a wonderful time!!! :)
They did NOT spell out ohio. They spelled out O-H-I-O!!!! 😁😁😁
OK Mermaid Girl! ::)
