wednesday...

we ate irish oatmeal for breakfast.  it was different.  i had a big bowl with 
brown sugar and cream, and even though it was really good, i was full before i 
finished.  emily had a much smaller serving, and joyce had a 'mother-bear 
portion.  it is necessary to chew this kind of oatmeal!  

we went out to visit the pools before the sun shone upon them, and we stayed 
about 45 minutes with joyce and emily in the hot tub and frances first in the 
upper warm pool for exercises and then in the hot tub.  when the sun was upon us 
we went in for showers and shampoos and rolled hair. we are to go out this 
evening  with  the mcswains.(they are Lauren's in-laws)  aha! i found a capital l!

Emily has had her fingernails polished, and Joyce her toenails.  Frances came 
already seen to.  We are sufficiently presentable with an invitation to eat at 
the Bone Fish restaurant. (where Frances will select something from the menu 
that does not spend a lot of time in water.)
 

The beauty of our vacation abode is like a picture of Eden! However, we have not 
encountered any animals other than humankind.  We met a very nice gentleman who 
introduced himself as Kim and said he is a proprietor here.  (That's not the 
word he used).  He helped us find our way to the showers and spa in building 
one, and he told us about a good place to have lunch 'on site'.  Perhaps we can 
do that one day. Today we had simple fare within our own lovely walls.
 

Emily has been sewing. Joyce has been at computer and kitchen. Frances has been 
reading. We are all laughing at least once every half hour. We did two loads of 
laundry, and we will go out again tomorrow with Tina,..lunch and shopping for 
shoes.
