Roche' says he thinks he looks "hawt" in this photo.  What do you think?  He's quite the little pistol these days.

Someone (Wendy) asked me about MahJong.  I do still play sometimes.  I still love it too.  I am trying to form a regular game again.

Today's lesson for you is the word "spumescent" which means 1) foamy, 2) foamlike, and 3) frothy.  Here is the sentence they gave: 

The usually gentle waterfall, clearly visible in the moonlight and icily shimmering, had been transformed into a phenomenal spumescent cascade that was magnificent yet uncanny in its magnitude.

-- Barbara Taylor Bradford, A Woman of Substance

And here is my sentence:  As she sat at the small round table daydreaming about her upcoming cruise the handsome waiter brought her a large piece of yellow cake without frosting and a cup of spumescent lightly sweetened cappuccino in a beautiful china cup which she completely enjoyed while people watching and trying not to think about the fact that she had to pee really really bad and didn't want to go into the public restroom because she had this huge fear of germs and that they might just spumescent-ly jump onto her and give her spumescent rashes whereby she would have to go into Publix and buy that cream Sarge always teased her about.  Y'all.

Personally I like mine better.  Plus I should get extra credit for using it three times.  (That Barbara Taylor Bradford ain't got nuttin' on me honeychild!)

It is officially summertime in my world now, the pool is warm and crystal clear and the sun shines down on me and I just love every day of my life.  

Today will find me at the dentist getting my implants opened and the screws installed and then I have to wait two more weeks (approximately) until that heals before I get the final permanent teeth installed.  I sure will be happy when it's all done.  Save every tooth you can at all costs because the alternative is not fun.  Or cheap.

Guess that's it from paradise today.  Have a totally wonderful Monday.  I will too!
