ESTHER AND EUNICE AT VIRGINIA BEACH

Eunice and I set off for Virgina Beach where we first had a spa treatment at Flowering Almond Spa. After too much sun we were developing people skin. We then checked into the Hampton Inn Virginia Beach Oceanfront South. Eunice wanted to take a quick nap while I checked out the television to see if Golden Hens was scheduled. Then it was off to Edgar Cayce's Association for Research and Enlightenment for a tour and reading before heading for Croc's 19th Street Bistro. We couldn't believe what was being served! Some sort of fancy chicken dish! Merle popped in and had us pose with the chefs.

ESTHER'S TIME IN WILLIAMSBURG

Although I didn't get to see Colonial Williamsburg, I did go to a part of Williamsburg. There was this shopping area called Merchant Square where the Blue Talon Bistro is located. There's me with Merle and the chef and also trying to be part of the decor. Afterward I went to this place called The Peanut Shop of Williamsburg. I couldn't believe who I spotted. Merle, Nancy and Barb had met up with these animal crackers a few years ago. I heard that they were trying to decide whether to commit suicide knowing that they would probably be eaten. Well, here they were! I really just wanted to taste them and figure out what animals they were.

EUNICE TAKES ON COLONIAL WILLIAMSBURG

Esther decided to take hang around the timeshare saying that it was just too darn hot for her. Besides, she had done a lot more than I. So, I'm off to Williamsburg with Merle, Nancy and Barb. I took a tour of the Governor's Mansion and must have done something wrong as I landed at the stockades. Merle was nervous about it. I wasn't. In fact you can see me posing as if I'm telling everyone to kiss my ass! Oh, yeah, comfortable tree but the same attitude.

ESTHER AND EUNICE AT THE TIMESHARE

This was such a fabulous trip and the first time that Eunice and I were on a trip together. Merle was kind enough to bring us with her to Williamsburg. We stayed at a timeshare with Nancy and Barb, too. They were celebrating Merle's birthday week as they have done for the past three years. That was so nice of them. We just couldn't sleep the first night as we were talking about the itinerary. There were some days that Eunice and I were together, some that I traveled without her and some that she traveled without me. I think we got Merle, Nancy and Barb a bit nervous with what it looked like we did. Hey, we can joke as much as they can!

For instance, there was one night that they saw Eunice trying to smother me with a pillow and another when Eunice pretended to be upset because I went somewhere without her.
