Hugh Heffner & His Woman
Hey, Hugh......its us: Cory & Sandy! Hey! You just never know who you are going to see in this area....besides Mickey Mouse. Cory and I were doing one of our marathon shopping trips. One stop was the Prime Outlet Mall.....every expensive store you can imagine is here with some reasonable priced ones also. All the foreign tourists come here. It sounds the United Nations when you stop and listen to the chatter. My two years of French and five years of Latin does nothing to help me eves drop. We were going into the Food Court to get a root beer when a couple was exiting through the same door. I did a double take and I said to Cory....."It's Hugh Heffner and his gal ( wife?)." AND me without my iPad....rats! What shall I do? Help! Thrashing! Fortunately, my Prince Charming jumped on his white horse and charged after them, snapping photos of them with his camera phone. Whew! Thank you, thank you, Prince Cory. I'm sure if they had recognized us, we would be on our way to the Playboy Mansion right now. That's okay.....Hugh probably had his mind on shopping or his lady or both. Note the Playboy emblem on his blazer.....he doesn't travel incognito,
Enchantment of the Seas
Cruising time tomorrow......whoopee for sure.
Hugh's sailor hat reminds me to tell you what adventure is going on next with us. I know you are chopping at the bit to find out. Tomorrow morning, we (plus 46 other Tropical Palms residents) board a bus here at the park and travel to Cape Canaveral. No, we are not going up in a space ship...try, again. Happy Days Are Here Again. Sailing, Sailing, Sailing.....those are my hints for you. Got it? You are right.....we are boarding the cruise ship: Royal Caribbean's Enchantment of the Seas. Yahooooo. We are taking a 4-day cruise to the Bahamas. Yippee. Life is Good. It should be a time of pure enjoyment and festivities. Cory is warming up his crap shooting hand because one day we are going to The Atlantis Casino/ Hotel. Remember to bet the hard six everyone.....he's always a winner on that. Winner! Go, Bucky. After last year's cruise, we are always ready and willing to board the next ship that leaves a port. It was such a marvelous time. What terrific memories and now we can add more great memories to our cruising diary. Lulu is joining the crew but remember, I told you she has
Appreciation Dinner
A Full Room of Friends to transform herself into a real Little Lulu. The transformed Lulu is a small, cloth doll that weighs nothing. Old, familiar Lulu (even though she is just a big head) is bulky and heavy. So some sensible exchange has to be done. "Don't cry for me" is what I hear Big Head Lulu softly singing in the background.....we won't, Lulu, but we will miss you a lot.
Friday evening, the owners at Tropical Palms, put on an appreciation dinner for the cottage owners and renters and long-term RV'ers. There are a lot of us! The room was packed. It was great seeing all the familiar faces we have seen over the years. A true home-coming. The meal was very good. The drinks (free bar) was even better. There was a comedy show for entertainment. Good for a laugh. A small crisis occurred just before the party started. Sam & Sandy got locked out of their RV and car. Sandy called Triple A. In the meantime, Sam & Cory pushed with all their might (King Kong & The Hulk working together) against the RV door while Sandy programmed in their code on their RV handle. Viola! It worked! Thank, God.
Friends
Happy People A miracle. We were back in business. The drinks tasted extra good after this little bump in the road. Smooth sailing through the rest of the night.
Yesterday, the four of us went to the movies. We saw "Taken 3". It was good...just like the other two. Great acting....a lot of fighting and violence and crazy car driving.....(kind of like me when I get nervous with Cory driving down here in the horrid traffic). Theater was as comfy as we remembered. Rock, rock, rock in the big, comfy chairs. We will be doing that pleasure many times in the future. Zip-A-Dee-Dooh-Dah......
This evening, the CornHole people are having an indoor tournament and pizza party. We are going to cheer them on and indulge in the Italian treat. It's kind of like a Bon Voyage party. Ahoy, Matey....Lift your anchor for a fun time ahead.
I won't be able to post my blabby blogs while we are riding the high seas because of the Internet connection. I will still be able to write them, though. A relief, huh? I will be doing a lot of posting when we get back home so get your eyes well rested. Enjoy
More Friends
More Happy People your respite from me.....but I will be thinking of all of you...as will Lulu and Cory. If you have a water bed....you can pretend you are right along with us. Sailing, Sailing, Over the Bounding Main.⚓️?⚓️? Happy Days to You Until We Meet Again. .....
