Time with Stori Must Mean Lobster

I have had two fabulous days with my friend Stori. As we were going to bed so I could write my blog she said, “Make sure you put in there that I love you.” Well I love her too! This trip has been a wonderful way to reconnect to my dear friends of years gone by, while at the same time I have completely ignored the current world. Not my family, but the rest of the world that makes me crazy.
As for my escapism trip, today was no different. Stori and I got up early and went to someplace called something like the grasslands to walk. It is a protected forest, and fields with lots of trails and hills. We got in more than half of the needed steps for the day before we had to call it quits thanks to the bugs attacking Stori. It is no surprise they went for her and not me since she is much sweeter. Stupid bugs, I am much fatter and had more to offer them.

After cleaning up Stori took me to the singing beach club where we sat in the shade of the lawn and had a perfectly civilized ladies who lunch afternoon. It was the first of my many lobsters for the day. I had been doing so well eating only healthy food on the trip until today.
After lunch it was time to needlepoint and discuss what we are going to do with our houses when our only children both leave for college next month. I think escapism travel is the answer.
By this time more lobster is needed. Stori and I go off to Gloucester to Lobsta Land to eat two different kinds of lobster with all the locals. Since Stori had taken me to two, not one, but two clubs for previous meals I told her that this one was on me. Then I went to the ladies room and she secretly paid the bill! This has created a hostess war. She must come to my house and quickly so I can treat her everywhere. This has been a lovely trend in visiting my friends, but I am beginning to feel like such a free loader.
After dinner tonight we dealt out bridge hands and practiced bidding since Stori is a budding player. The bridge playing is getting to be a theme on this trip too. What could be better, a great friend, lobsters, needlepoint and games. Who needs the real world?
