Island Style Coffee Break and my Favorite Stuff Swap Finds

tacogirl April 10, 2012

Yesterday around 9:00 am I was all set to take an island style coffee break, by the time I actually got away from my desk it was closer to noon. Before you start giving me the gears Dr Al, I decided as I was peacefully floating that I would do better at following your advice and make my coffee break an extended one.

I got lucky and tacoboy turned up with lunch from Average Joes, thankfully he was smart and got just cheese so I could eat it in the pool without spillage. Spent about 2 h in my tranquility tank listening to music and thinking about life.

I love my new blow up airplane and so glad I got a couple more crocodiles on sale at wings. As I watched my floaty toys gliding around the pool I remembered when Dick and I used to race the crocodile and tiger across the pool and see whose would get to the other side first. We had so much fun and Paul would laugh at us being silly while he was out for a smoke break on the veranda.

I floated for a good few hours and then decided it was time to go for a walk and take myself down to the beach. Will finish adding details and those pictures later have to go to town and get some blood work done.

Sending some San Pedro sunshine to Brent and Lisa from Helena, they definitely need it right now. Brent sent me the following picture and Helena Montana Weather report of what their Easter weekend is looking like. We definitely have better swimming weather than you do.

Finally made it back to adding pics and finishing my write up for this post after town and a 2 hour float in our pool.

I got to one of our favorite hang out docks and saw that Easter Monday was in full swing and there were tons of people enjoying dock time. I opted for a quiet lounge chair in the shade. After a while I saw that some kids had the same inflatable airplane that I do and decided I needed to go take a few pictures.

Easter Sunday Stuff swap was at Pedro’s was great, everyone walked away with something good. Those of us that had set limits managed to stick to them and not walk away with as much as we brought.

I totally scored big time, 3 new dresses, a really cute tennis skirt. Best of all a sleep mask and new pool floats, very timely because I had just misplaced my crazy eyeball sleep mask that afternoon and was wishing I remembered where I put it for my cat nap.
