go to the beach in all this heat?

Toasted Yoli here, will someone please butter me?

We returned from our trip to the coastal cabin last night and I'm convinced we were totally wacked for ever exiting it during daylight hours! All of us smell like sunscreen and cooking flesh.

There was a bright note, though.

As we were sitting on the veranda an older gentleman, in really buff shape, strolled by and offered a friendly greeting. Naturally, we invited him "aboard" for a cocktail...Martini, dry.

So soon as he spoke we realized he was an Englishman, and he looked the part of one of the Queen's finest. Tall, tanned, lean, ramrod straight, and the neat mustache. It turns out he WAS a retired British Army "Leftenant" Colonel.

Anyway, we were complaining of the heat and he burst into an old English music hall (see: Vaudeville) song. It cracked us up.

Here it is...scroll down to play.

Hope you liked it.

Barry left for Lubbock this morning, but should be back in late August.

In the meanwhile, I believe you'd find both Ash(leigh) and me quite "a-peeling"!

Hugs, kisses, and discreet gropes.

Yolanda I always enjoy your posts and they never fail to make me smile.

Thanks Yol, I too enjoyed the update. You gals just have to much fun. Tell Barry he has my sympathy having spent 2 years in beautiful flat, hot, dusty, uneventful, boring, slow, mundane Lubbock Tx. Only there are only a couple places that are worse but nobody lives there.

Tio Rio,

So, (she said, interrupting her paid work,) I take it you've never seen Roma TX or Rio Grande City?

Barry was pretty much raised in Lubbock so he's either accustomed to it, or just numb.

When we visit there, we DO enjoy some nice sunsets. Haven't seen a sunrise yet.

Surprisingly, my silky hide is intact. Maybe I didn't get all that much sun after all. I guess I like to whimper and whine in the hope that Uncle River will hold me in his (safe?) lap and sing me to sleep.

I swear, if I feel the slightest bulge under my tiny hiney, I'm going to tell (after further inspection, of course. Call it evidence collection)!

Back to the grind!
