We ended up on our patio nursing a beer for a few hours until almost dinner and then it happened...our new tutti-frutti addiction kicked in and really if you have it more than once on consecutive weekends, isn't it tradition by then?? We walked down to Max Brenner again, but had dark chocolate drizzled on top this time. Much better......
Sunday rolled around and Dale twisted Dave's arm to go golfing with him. I was going to stay home and study, however Colette called and said that her, Bill, Sierra and Kyle were going to the Gold Coast to the beach and did I want to come? Yes... I packed up my bag just like Aunt Betty would do with food enough for 40 and hopped in the car. The undertow was incredibly strong and the lifeguards kept busy with their megaphones telling people to move between the flags. All of a sudden I felt like I was on the show "Bondi Rescue"... A lifeguard came tearing out of the truck he was in, grabbed the surfboard that stands on the beach and seriously with in what felt like 45 seconds was dragging this girl up onto the surfboard. They had been yelling at her, and who I presume was her dad to stay on their boogie board but to PADDLE and not go too far out and to STAY within the flags. Well next thing you know, the girl is tossed off the board and the man with her is likewise tossed and that's when the lifeguard shot into action. It could have also been the half hearted strokes they were both doing to get to shore. Such a scary thing that ended well, thank goodness.
After the beach we went to Waxy's for the Sunday special..$2 steak, $2 steak sauce, $2 salad, $2 mashed potatoes (Dad they were great!), $2 Coronas. My meal cost $10 and was better than bar food usually is. Then the drive home......
Weekend update is done! Whew! Sorry no pis were loaded yet so I'll probably edit this later and add a few.
Cheers! David and Lovey
