CROTCHES (SORRY TO THE DELICATE MINDED)

Before I get to the 'crotches' part of this post I must mention this week's challenge…a little late.  The whole chapter is about making healthy connections and developing awesome relationships and ending toxic ones.  Which, whilst being an amazing good idea, isn't so easy to do.  But at least one can think about your relationships and at least being aware of which ones are lacking and which ones are jolly good.  I guess.

I think I left off the day the kids went golfing, and when they came back they were so excited and on top of the world…they had golfed extraordinarily well.  And they came home carrying big brown grocery bags full of awesome things to make us dinner.

But….while they were gone I immediately headed over to the pool.  And an incident there reminded me of something that happened a couple of weeks ago.

There is a really large man, about fifty years old, that goes over to the pool and 'walks' the middle part and swims the longer section.  Ever since we moved here we see him over there.

He was there one day when I was over there.  It was a weekend and the pool was BUSY!!  Almost all the chairs had women of all sorts lying on them and there were a few of us in the pool.  All the chairs form a semi circle around one side of the pool…there are 18 of them.  The foot of the chairs face the pool in a neat and tidy semi circle.  

This fellow and I happened to stand up at the same time in the same spot, facing all those chairs.  We both kind of looked along that row of chairs, at a whole lot of crotches….staring us right in the face.  Obviously we both had the same thought run through our heads.  After a few seconds he kind of laconically commented, "Holy Hoo Haw Alley"  I almost choked then started to laugh.  It was so funny!  And so many of those 'ladies' wear such inappropriate bathing suits…you know the thong type.  Honestly it was such a funny moment!  He then looked at me, kind of raised his eyebrow and went back to ploughing through the water.

Aryn and Bradley made us the most delicious dinner.  They make a paste of Dijon, garlic and brown sugar, coat the steak, then bbq it on a very hot barbie.  The rub caramelizes  kind of like a creme brule.  They also made twice baked potatoes,  tomato and buffalo salad with a balsamic reduction.  And a caesar salad.  Delicious.

Yesterday we were heading out to the edge of the earth for a bbq.  We hauled out all the stuff and whilst we were on a run to safeway to get the food, I got sick.  I actually had to have them stop at McD's on the way home.  Holy Hannah!  I don't know what hit me.  But they very very kindly offered to forgo the bbq trip and went golfing instead.  I lay down and went sound asleep and felt a whole lot better when I woke up.  I don't know what the heck that was.

Last night we bbq'ed the stuff we bought and had a nice little dinner on the  lanai and last night we watched some darn good favourite tv!!  I love these two…they watch all the same shows I do with no apologies…reality shows, cooking shows, pawning shows etc…..Then Bradley did a stand up job of giving me ideas for redoing my kitchen at home!

Now its morning and the kids are going to go and spend the day and night at the Marriott in Wailea.  Its Aryn's birthday tomorrow…and its a doozy, her 40th!!!.  So they are going to beach it today at that magnificent place, have a lovely dinner and tomorrow they are golfing the blue course (whatever that means)  We will be picking them up later and we go to Mamma's fish House for dinner!  So on that note I shall report back here after!  With pics.
