The girls and I just got back last night from our own version of
Survivor: Key West.
Main challenge: Internet Access denied.
We started with five players. Two men (that would be ours) were added, but had to go--since work did not give them immunity.
Next to arrive was Helen Lykes.
Helen, a Harley driving, tongue pierced, inked sweetheart of a mother, was invited on the island for some R&R after serious surgery and treatment.
Her positive outlook in life is truly inspiring. In my constant quest to surround myself with non-toxic people, I am glad I met Helen.
She was accompanied by her beautiful and kind 13 year old daughter, Samantha.
Here, meet Sam.
Then there was the MD woman named Laurian,MD. She volunteered that since she was an MD, she knew how to remove a splinter.
The couple last to arrive for the week was very private. They wanted minimum disturbance.
Jill and Sarah pretty much kept to themselves, but were nice enough to leave us their floats.
Which was nice.
Except for Helen who has lifetime immunity due to her connections, the rest had to go.
Carole and I, chest puffing (okay euphemism for me) over the fact that we had outwitted, outsmarted and outlasted the next group...researched the new people coming in, supposedly the Hemingways and the Donaldsons.
They were coming in for Lobster days.
