Yesterday I went to the beach with my Granddaughter-to-be, my “twin” (we share a birthday) and her daughter, Vika. It was very much spur of the moment. The girls had never met but they got along as if they were best friends forever. It was a joy to watch two ten year old little girls, still very much in the innocence of life laughing and splashing in the ocean. They found a tiny hermit crab and a sea snail which fascinated them. Jazz was slightly stung by a jellyfish but we managed to avoid hysterical screaming. Pizza for dinner and an awesome cocktail of lemon gelato with raspberry vodka poured over it capped off a perfect day in the sun.
Of course, while I was gone, the world came to a screeching halt.
The oven repairman stopped in to check something out and left again. Babygirl was home alone and didn’t know what to do. She called Boyfriend to stay with her while the ‘strange men’ were in the house. The repairman returned with the verdict that a ‘simple repair job’ was going to cost more than the landlord was willing to put into an old range. What should he do? She tried to reach me, but I got no signal on the beach. She called Hubs who was busy at work. She called Twin who also had no signal and then she called landlord who said…….wait for it…..
I’M GETTING A NEW RANGE!!
Yes, a peek of my boobies apparently worked well for the bribe! Tomorrow, Hubs and I will go pick one out. I can hardly wait.
As for Babygirl, I think that the next time, she’ll want to go to the beach with us!!

(What? You are sending some, right? Why else would you possibly need a new oven?)
Chocolate peanut butter chip is good too.
