Evening delight
Just another day in paradise, another manic sunday, and I do not wish that it was monday, days are the same here in the land of OZ. Sometimes i wonder that this working seven days a week might put permanent damage on me, but eh, when you start damaged, there is so far they can take you. as they say: I have seen it much bigger than this.
Well marjan called me in the afternoon, I had been sitting in the store all day, watching the walls, and TV. Amin had taken over the computer( no that was Saturday, I get my days confused uhoh), and there was no way for me to purge, only one customer showed up all day. Well normal people, usually go away on three days weekend. or spend the day outside, playing Golf, going down the beach, swimming.
Marjan said, that Julia and Amir have invited us fo0r Dinner at their boat. They bought a 40 feet Boat last year, and went to special school to learn how to navigate it. That was good news, since Julia always serves all kind of goodies, with home made red wine, with large pieces of peaches soking inside.
I went home by five o'clock, Marjan and the kids were ready, I was in such a foul mood, nobody could talk to me, Micheal, and Steven also came with us. Once b y the water, i felt much better, there is something about water that relaxes me. We were not supposed to go anywhere with the boat, just relax in the boat as it was ducked. Once in the boat I went on the deck, and layed there for a few minutes, relaxing, then Julia brought the appetizers, and the wine, I was in hog heaven after eating some, and drinking my first glass of wine. The wether was great but there was a possibility of passing showers, and thunder strom and that was the reason they had decided not to go to the sound, and just stay put.
There was great Music, mostly Jazz, and plenty of wine, they picked up Pizza for every one, and we had great dinner, I do not get the chance to eat Pizza and this was quite right by me. Kids played down under, where they have a stiing area, a TV, and some beds, and we sat and talked. After dinner Julia made Italian coffee with Samboca, and uh the taste of the coffee and the tinge of the liqoure was out of this world. Then Amir, Marjan, and the kids went for a walk to get some Ice Cream, Julia, David, and me stayed put, just relaxing and talking. By then the Black clouds and Thunder had come and the guys were caught in the rain. When they came back, Kiana was wet and a bit shaken, since she is scared of thunders. The boat was covered so we sat trough the rain and the thunder, and left by around Ten thirty. Amir, Julia and the kids were staying in the boat over night.
This morning I got up feeling reffreshed, and full of energy, It was the magic of the evening we had spent with our hosts on the water that had made feel so good. i went to the Gym, did my excersise, and came back to the store. I guess this proves to me, that I do need some R&R after all. Hopefully I get to take a few days off this swummer, spend a little bit more time on the water, and give myself a break. I hope you all have a wondefull Memorial weekend.

It was our pleasure having you and I'm so glad it did you some good. Just like I told you that night, "People who eat alone choke". Have a great day!
