Ah. What a great nights sleep. Well, at least for some of us. This morning we find out that Randy went out the wrong door looking for the bathroom in the middle of the night. Kitty said she found him outside looking at the pool with a ‘what the hell’ look on his face. Thank goodness he didn’t mistake one p word for the other. But, this morning all is well. Well, except for a few heads. We keep saying we’re going to have the board meeting when we don’t have hangovers. This could turn out to be a problem. After a wonderful breakfast of eggs, bacon, hash browns and toast, (that’s right! We’re texans!) we start the day. We’ve arranged for all of us to have massages today and Peggy and Mark lead the way. The rest of us climb into our kayaks and row out for some sun and exercise. (Not really for the exercise, but it sounded good, right?) It did feel good though, and after a while we head back to keep from getting fried out on this sunny day. Everyone here has heard the stories of my sunburned lips. And while they may secretly want to see it for themselves, they don’t let me indulge too much. We seek the coolness of the grotto and have a little hair of the dog to ease the pain and patiently wait our turn for the massages. And, wow! Was it worth the wait!
We all slip into that post-massage oblivion. NAP for all of you newbies. We wake in time for the ritual cocktail party they have for all of the villas. I actually wasn’t looking forward to this. I’m not the social butterfly the rest of the family is. But, it was fun. We learned that Nicholas, our driver/jack of all trades was married, but not. He actually blushed! We learned a few salacious details about the owners, but we’re instructed we couldn’t repeat any of it. Honest. Let’s just say they are very liberal. In a good way. There are 6 villas and each one was occupied and asked to attend this get together. Well, actually only three of us showed up and we had a blast. We thought about crashing the other villas but, decided against it. What snobs. Right? Afterwards, we toured one of the larger properties. Beautiful! Even more damn steps, though! What the hell is with all the steps? My poor knees can take only so much! I’m going to have to go for the bionic thing sooner than I thought I guess. Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah. Oh well, I always did think the bionic woman was hot. Well, we make it back to Providence house. It’s cocktail hour, after all. For dinner our first course was pepper pot soup. Now, I don’t know much about this, but after eating it, I realize that this could be the hottest soup I’ve ever eaten! Coming and going. If you get my drift. Then we have pork chops, potatoes and sautéed vegetables. Now, I’m Just guessing these were pork chops. It was a hide and seek kind of thing to find the meat on these things. But, once you found it, it was good. Then chocolate pie. Need I say more? Chocolate pie!
