Hello, Strangers! Long time, no blog.
Anyhoo, my husband Mike, my daughter Cassie, and I decided to take a vacation together. Those that know us know that we are warm weather lovers. Now Cassie, of course, lives in Florida and the weather wasn't such a big deal for her. She just wanted a little rest and relaxation in the sun. We chose to go to Cancun.
Every day we did our favorite things that we do on vacation. Our daily schedule was
1. Get up
2. Put swim suit on
3. Go to swimming pool or beach and stake our claim to our chairs
4. Got have breakfast at the buffet. It was required that if you had swimwear on that you also wear a cover-up. I think that was to make sure no one lost their appetite.
5. Went back to pool or beach and baked, laid and read til lunch. Oh, and drank virgin Pina Coladas until you went into a sugar coma.
6. Went back to buffet wearing the afore-mentioned cover up.
7. Returned to chair and baked, laid and read and drank virgin Pina Coladas til supper.
8. Relinquished our chairs for the day, cleaned up and went to dinner.
9. Partied for about 10 minutes or so, then went to bed between 9 and 10.
10. Next 6 days repeated the same schedule.
Ok. One day Mike was restless and was doing who- knows- what while Cass and I laid down under a cabana by the beach. We laid out there all afternoon among about 15 other people doing the same thing. I heard a lady saying, "hey lady". I paid no attention cause I didn't know her. Finally Cassie said "Mom, she's talking to you". I turned over and the lady was looking my way and yelled, "There it goes!" Apparently there had been a 2 foot long iguana under my lounge chair and I was obliviously napping, face-down. Cassie yelled and it ran across the sand.
I grabbed my phone (for use of the camera) and ran after it trying to get a decent picture of the critter. Since he (or she) had a head start and could run faster, I was unable to get close enough for a good one. Cass couldn't believe I was running after it. Anyway, I got back to my seat and sat down, trying to get comfy once again. When I picked up my Kindle to start reading again I realized that in getting up to chase the lizard I must have put weight on it and cracked the screen. Grrrrrr. This of course means that I couldn't finish my book, at least on vacation. Well, as a back-up I had brought a regular book. Reading it taught me much more about President James Garfield that I ever wanted to know.
