The Number Five - A Trip Report

[JandMinJA]

Yesterday was another day in paradise. Started the day with an omelet and a few cups of coffee then off we went on a mission to find a watch battery. Knowing the adundance of watch dealers in Time Square, we headed there, it seeming the logical place. No luck but two of them recommend a watch and jewelry repairman across from Burger King. Sounds good. I've always enjoyed browsing at Time Square so we wander aimlessly and soak up some air conditioning. We grab some patties and head back to home away from home. A few Stripes and a patty lunch did us in. We were tired. Exciting right? Nap time it was, especially since it was raining at this point. Woke up as the skies cleared and went to visit Mama again. We didn't feel like walking far and sunset was approaching. Chicken on the menu tonight. And was it delicious! As we were eating, the power went out. Finished dinner by candlelight and headed home. Mama and SharkHunter's dance postponed. Back home and a visit with K Man, another fun night on the patio as we all waited for the current to be restored. Mosquitos finally started up. We hadn't really had a problem before but had the coils on standby already. Lit one up and enjoyed some relief. A while later we wrapped up the visit with K Man, told him good night, and then had ourselves a night cap. Cherry juice and coconut rum over ice. When writing it all down, it doesn't seem like much of a day but it was really quite perfect. Just what the doctor ordered.
