September 16, 2007 or the Day of the Rainbow Butterfly Tamer
So my personal discovery of the day yesterday was my new tag line.
Darlinda Just Darlinda “Butterfly Tamer!” I don’t train them, I just tame them into connection!! All I can say is that there were thousands of monarch butterflies on the beach yesterday and I danced with them in the waves! I didn’t get a picture from this weekend but this was taken in October last year! Me and Glenn and this beutiful butterfly named Fabulous Fancy Divine (Glenn’s favorite name for a child, still?)

Yes in the City it was International Pickle Day, but we called it Tammany Hall Debauchery Day, this is meaningful to me, because I’m reading a book called “Low Life” that is dedicated to the era when Tammany Hall was poppin.
Tammany Hall Debauchery Day started with another delicious(different flavor) frittata made by Danielle and bacon and donuts and cinnamon rolls . I had coffee, I wasn’t suppose to(gives me intense cramps) but it was TASTY and made me delightfully hyper!
Simcha, Danielle and Mateas went swimming with me, or rather I went swimming and they dipped in their feet. We came back to lay around. Allison, Susannah and Annemarie went for a bike ride.
Then more colorful folks arrived at Tammany Hall. Bambi, Bunny, Pinkie, and Jenny . . .minutes before they arrived I said out loud, “I’ll have a cocktail when the other ladies arrive.”
Well they had arrived, and prepared some delicious food for dinner(an awesome Pork Roast, go Bunny!!) Then we hit the beach, and all in the name of leisure. Yes Clams inspired us and we decided (or at least me) that we were the Ladies of Leisure of Tammany Hall!
So we took the umbrella’s out to the beach, lay down the beach blanket and had ourselves a day at the beach. Then of course we got hungry, but let me tell you our rental was just steps away from the beach and where we had parked so, it was a hop-skip-and-a-jump to the kitchen where (as inspired by Danielle) I created a cheese and fruit plate! And as I mentioned before the booze followed the food!

This is the crown jewel of the weekend, except a couple more that will stay off this blog. . . .Back to “The Rainbow shot”, yes everyone is wearing rainbow. Bambi in her beautiful bikini, Susannah wearing the chair, Bunny wearing my . .. ahem . . rainbow diaper(who called it that?), Clams in my rainbow tank top, and me in my rainbow bottomless smock!

Well, the Bachelorette joined us and we went on an expedition t. . .where we saw a giant light house . . .HUGE! It was so big it hit Red Hook!
Then we went back to the house for a mellow evening taking cat naps and eating. Here’s Allison with the Baby Mateas.
I don’t know if you can see it, but there was lovely light coming in through the window.

Then we ate, a lot
Here’s proof in the Otter Pops

Here’s a list of what we ate for the weekend(what I can remember). Ah, delicious, delightful, de-lovely!
Apples,Grapes, Pork,Chicken,Bacon,Pita,Crackers, Cheese(lots of it),Donuts, Hamburgers, Hot dogs,Salome,Frittata,Otter Pops,Corn(yum!), Cinnamon rolls, Garlic,Potatoes(covered in pork love and lemon!),See’s chocolate and Organic licorice and more . .much more!
Oh, and my toe feels much better, it actually felt better to walk in the sand, who knew?One last thing I did before I went to bed was choreograph a little dance of the butterflies . . .

This is the post I left for the day . . .so true
Did you know that the French get roughly eight weeks off for vacation a year?
Here is me and Glenn Marla on the boardwalk with some French Tourists!
