February 27--Soul-Nourishing Laughter

Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.  --Ursula K. Le Guin

    I must share with you some comical quotes from vacation. This one was spoken by our host's niece, Katie: "I'd like to agree with you, but then we would both be wrong." We all agreed that one would prove useful in our futures! 
    The next quote was by our host during our usual goofy chatter in the pool: "I said the other day... (long pause) I forgot what I said the other day." That one produced hysterical laughter.
    The whole theme of this vacation was "over the top." Our final adventure exploring in the Florida wilderness (that's right, it is not shore-to-shore old people in FL) was unexpected and so much fun. When we were driving to the tree farm, someone asked for tissues. You know, a plain old white tissue would do. But no. Our host produced a packet of animal print tissues... see below. This quickly became designated "Cougar tissues." 
    Our last day in paradise included pool time, then a lovely lunch on the deck in glorious sunshine. We picked out dates for this same adventure next February. Then we packed, and used our remaining time together for a few games of Rummikub. The trip home was tiring but uneventful.
    I'm thinking this particular vacation time, location and girlfriend-foursome is becoming an annual event. WOOHOO!!!
    I am safely back home in Wichita, let the re-entry begin.
