Didn...Glub, glub, Lyn, help, she tried to drown me! Didn't anyone see her. She's a darn menace.<br />Mary, who always sleeps through breakfast, takes a shower and heads down the stairs. But not before she does some mischief to Sharon's, oh she'll find out. Mary bounces into the room where there are some new guests and Lyn and Sharon are sitting out by the pool. All clean and sparkly the water is beautiful now. Mary walks up to Lyn and Sharon. Hey, there's a phone call for you Sharon. Sharon picks her bubble butt off the chair and starts to sashay into the villa. Mary offers her a glass of tea, which Mary trips and drops on her, accidentally on purpose. Lyn laughs so Sharon dumps her tea on Lyn. <br />Mary laughs now and thankfully sits down to a table with nothing to drink or throw at her on it. Ahhh. Life is good! Here's a towel stop whining Sharon, Look at Lyn she's not whining. <br />Oh my, look at Lyn she just walked off with that dark handsome guy who gave her his handkerchief.

It's that bad seed Mary Ricksen. Sharon douses the remainder of the flat champagne on her head and trots off to the kitchen to have some of the wonderful food Oliver is cooking up. She finds Lyn and Sandra, already up and about, sipping on tea and still giggling. Some party, huh, girls? Sandra, kudos and hope you sell tons!<br />Happy Valentines Day!Sharon Donovanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14648684299903722373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-91990513452221368562010-02-13T04:54:13.868-04:002010-02-13T04:54:13.868-04:00Dawn breaks over the villa.

The sun turns the lake a delicate. rosy pink, it sparkles, the crystal water crystal clear again after the mad antics of the previous evening.<br /><br />The guests who remain are either asleep in the guest rooms or curled up in front of the huge log fire. Cuddles and Junior, as usual, have the best place, and snore gently, dreaming their enchanted animal dreams.<br /><br />Lyn stirs, and sits, then stands, brushing sweetly scented rose petals from her gown. (How many changes did she have to make last night?) The last thing she remembers before drifting off to sleep was Sandra and Oliver, forsaking the limbo bar to dance the waltz to the strains fo 'My Funny Valentine'.<br /><br />Hearing the clink of dishes in the kitchen. she decides to go and help Oliver, who is obviously preparing breakfast for the remaining guests.<br /><br />Oh - and there are three new faces she doesn't remember seeing the night before. "Hello Alena Laura and Amy, welcome to the party, I hope you'll stay for breakfast and that Oliver has been looking after you."<br /><br />Sandra, we had such fun and I hope your books sell trillions. What wonderful Valentine's gifts they's make for a wife or girlfriend *hint*.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4418615068820902521.post-45807148095996365752010-02-13T00:47:17.873-04:002010-02-13T00:47:17.873-04:00Very nice party!
