After spending all day Monday, running around Upcountry we were tired when we woke up on Tuesday. We partook in the hotel's early riser breakfast but afterward instead of rushing out to see something we decided to hang out at the beach and get some R & R. Penny was excited to return to the water and it wasn't long before she made friends with two little boys, Christian and Frank from Toronto. Their nanny was with them and she got the 3 children building elaborate sand houses. Christian took one look at me and asked where our nanny was. It was really funny that he knew I was the mommy. I told him our nanny was taking her own vacation away from us. He looked at me weird and walked away. It was nice getting to know those two boys but the relationship with Penny didn't last too long as they were quite particular about how things were to be done and I think Penny pissed them off. After the glory of meeting people her own age wore off she was back to grabbing Daddy and Goofy for a swim. Penny sure has a knack of meeting people. That first day on the beach she met an older woman who she started calling "Grandma." It really was quit cute. After the boys, a dog came by and sat by us as we sat eating a snack. He look dot be really hungry and wanted to grab everything out of my hands but he had manners and waited until I gave him handfuls of Cheerios which he gobbled up at each offering. He didn't stay too long and then Penny met this stranger woman and her daughter. This lady's daughter was Penny's age and the lady had her in a life vest. The girl just bobbed up and down in the ocean and the mother didn't appear to be watching her. Luckily that vest really floated. We made our way up to them and then Penny discovered she wanted a vest. I took that as the perfect opportunity to introduce her to the vest I bought her. She liked it only because she now matched the little girl in the water. She refused to wear it the rest of the trip.
Have you ever watched those TV Game shows where they have a couple of doors and behind one is a grand prize? Well, this weekend the hub and I found out what was behind our Door #1. The hubby and I are starting the beginning phases of landscaping our backyard. Our first step, was to clean out the area behind our garage. When we moved in, there was about 2 feet of walking space behind our garage the rest of the area was covered in vines. Vines were growing on the roof and generally it was a mess. Not wanting the vines to take over the roof, we I started to clear out the vines last fall. But after we cut a million vines with only a pair of clippers we gave up and decided to clean out the rest in the spring. Spring came around and we didn't do much until one day when I was sick a few weeks ago, I ran into our gardener. I showed him the mess and asked if he knew of anyone who could come clean it out. I could tell he was actually, quite happy for me to broach the subject of ...
