Actually it was even more serrendipidous than that. His mom and dad were vacationing last winter in Mexico and met a nice woman who owns 40 acres of prime orchard beach from property in Hawaii...her dillemma...to fine someone to watch the place while she's a way for a few months this fall. Sis couldn't go, but managed to "sell" her on my Nephew and his best friend.
They really ARE very responsible trustworthy kids...oh, man was he apologetic when he called here this morning. Lesson learned..it was the first time for him.
So they're staying in the main house from sept to Nov and then using a massive tree house on the property as a base from which to explore the islands....I'm happy for him, but i'm gonna miss him too! He's one of those special ones.
AS for me, woke up late again (same old same old...gonna have to rely on "shock therapy" in the form of my alarm clock a week from tommorow! ), headed over to CJ's sis's for a BBQ. Had fun talking to his niece (13) and her cousin (also 13). I'm SUCH a big juvenile at heart that I was siding with them on issues, much to their mothers' annoyance at times, no doubt.
Of course I HAD to defend their desires to sleep in late!! Come on it's their holidays and teens DO need more sleep than younger kids or adults.
Ended up with quite a womping headache on the drive home...maybe the 7 cups of black coffee weren't such a great idea???
Oh, yeah, did I meniton we picked up travel brochures for a trip to Mexico during my spring break in February???
Happly Labour Day all! (Is it labour day tomorrow everywhere???)
