Home Sweet Home


                 I'm back...... I know, It's been too-too... looooong... but I'm back and getting down to business in my rightful place as seen above! It always is, especially when I have been away for awhile, coming back home is always the best feeling... The usual coziness that is quite hard to explain ... makes me appreciate my home-sweet-home even more! Not to say I didn't enjoy my vacation. Oh no, I enjoyed my first get-away very much indeed............. in my favorite beach town resort of Rehoboth Beach.......



In the beginning there was quite a bit of cold weather and rain, but the beach sand and waves will still carry on.......
 





 
 But before Memorial Day, and the couples days after, the warmer temps set in and bought the boys out ....finally like a ray of sunshine up on Poodle Beach......
 


The boys and I were able to catch some rays on the beach for a couple days at least and we did have some very comfy accommodations. The Mistress could be seen most mornings serenading from the widows peak balcony in ostrich feathers slippers! If you believe the Mistress was up that early in the am ....I'll tell you another one!
 
 
 
 The ever handsome Preston's friend's were hospitable hosts.... and had us as their guest, and with a house full of boys there is bound to be a house full of antics and hijinks's, and lines for the bathroom!  There is nothing more quintessential then the smell of vinegar fries, the sand and sea,  and some candy floss while at the beach....and the sound of some good old Skee ball! The Mistress could spend hours playing with the balls and trying to get a hole in one! And I did spend a good hour this day! 

 
And then nothing like the tradition of happy hour at the legendary Blue Moon........
 

 Alas....this is where  a gentleman thought it funny to bust on the Mistress for still having a slide cell phone, upon where he handed it,  back dropped it, ending the life of said phone and prompting the Mistress to get one of those fancy new smartphones, filled with apps galore. My clan thought it entertaining to watch me drunkenly masterfully use my new phone! The gentleman even offered to get me a new phone with my choice of package! And my favorite morning brunch was at a place called Mariachi , where we had a yummy platter of eggs Benedict with potato cakes and all the sides!


One sight to be seen was the hunk being interviewed on the beach, but not sure what it was about. All I noticed was those arms!

 
And one last treat was on the way back home the Lad and I did a day stay over in DC to visit with one of his friend, where we were whisked off to Town Dance Boutique where the Lad and I indulged in too many cock-a-tails.....which led the Lad to enter a best underwear contest.......... hosted by Shaquia Lee!
 

 
And eat your hearts out! The Lad was a gymnastics kid in high school and his college team....just one of his talents......blushing..... He came in second, the split not getting him the win. Oh well.....I always enjoy his split.  Anyho, after a long and productive and fun trip, it's always nice to be back at the Casa du Borghese, and to my daily routines and getting these lax houseboys back in form. I would also like to thank you all for your funny comments and such sweet lovely emails while away. I love a good love fest....... And forgive me.... for I am just now getting caught up on blogs and will visit soon. Upon getting back, work has began with a update in the kitchen , and a long work week that brought a huge store visit, which went well.
 
 I do sincerely THANK you all... a BIG 'mwahhh' kiss! I float like a puffy giant juicy lime, and slice of cumcumber in my gin and tonic!

  3. You're back!!! I'm glad that you enjoyed yourself!
    I do know what you mean...even a few days away from home makes me want to come home right away, because there's family waiting for you, and that warm, comfy, familiar bed. Looks like you and the Lad had some scandal times there!!!!!

  24. Hoorah, your back!!! I'm glad your time away was amazing...

    For us, We've always been devote sky dancers... adoring the travel, leisure, and string of mishaps that inevitably follow. But in the end, were always ready to be home again. And when we met the Lad we had no idea he could do splits!

  25. Honey. if I had that bathtub...I may never leave the house!

  32. You know, I think the Lad would do anything to just be seen in his underwear!!!! Sounds like a great time away, just jealous I couldn't make it. And you with a smartphone!?! oh no.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Fabulous time sounds to me! I so need a get away to the beach, if only for a couple hours....so relaxing! And the boys...who could complain.

    ReplyDelete
  34. What a great time it looks and Im excited to be seeing you soon! Do you think the Lad would mind re-acting that split here?
