Swim Suit humour......

Yesterday, I guess I was feeling a bit blue.....and I think my hubby sensed that.....so while I was in the doctor's office....he went off to do a few errands....by the time he came back I still hadn't been seen by the doctor....anyhow....after my appointment we go out to my car....and there on the steering wheel is this envelope......"what's this" I say......." I don't know" says hubby with a smirk on his face.......I open the envelope and this is what I find.......

I then opened the card and it goes on to say......Just a little card to "crack" you up......signed....Happy Friday.......I laughed and I laughed.....even looking at it now I am laughing.....I mean I was next to tears......remember my post about humour....well this to me is humour......a good ol belly laugh.......

Do you remember when thong swim suits came out.....I do.....it was back in the 80's when I first experienced seeing one. I was in Hawaii......lounging on the beach taking in the sun the sand and the surf.....when I rolled over onto my tummy and looked over.....and there not more than a 100 yards in front of me was this woman...in this suit....I thought what in god's name is that......now never having seen one...I was shocked...I thought I was on a public beach...why is this woman wearing this.....or not wearing......this woman had to have been in her sixties....yes sixties...either that or she had spent way to much time in the sun.....now don't get me wrong.....if that woman felt confident enough to go out there wearing that...then all the power to her....but me..who was 19 at the time....fit, wouldn't have dreamed of wearing anything like that.....and I certainly wouldn't wear one today......Then when we were in Mexico this past September with my girls......we are sitting at our cabana...when the gentleman at the next cabana prepares to strip down to his swim suit......well where was it?.....just this little piece of cloth covering the front of him......oh my goodness....my girls and I just looked at each and looked away.....again we had never seen anything like that before.....we are not prudes.....it's just again....it's a public beach.....if I wanted to see somebodies naked bits I would go to a nude beach......

I bet we all have a swimsuit story....I will share another one with you.....when I was a child we used to go camping....in preparation for the trip we all had chores or things we had to do to help prepare for the trip. Well my sister Kathleen was in charge of collecting all of the swim suits....now that would have been about 10 suits.....anyhow.....I remember her gathering them up...and I remember her putting them on the counter. It was always mayhem getting us all organized and into the station wagon, and load up the trailer and the car top....oh my gosh. Anyhow, we all piled into the car and headed out for our holiday. I think I was only 7 at the time....and I don't even remember where we stopped to make camp first....but what I do remember was when it came time that we were all allowed to go for a swim. Mom went looking for the suits......"Kathleen" mom shouts out...."where are the swim suits"....I can still see the look on Kathleen's face.....she realized she had left them on the kitchen counter....her chin dropped her eyes filled with tears....both from the fear of the scolding she was about to get and for the simple fact that she had forgotten them. Now coming from a family of 12 children you can appreciate that finances were a little tight. Mom and dad didn't have the finances to go out and by new suits...so what my mom did....was go buy some material, she cut and hand sewed material to my older sisters bra's and panties....and well us younger ones just wore our underpants...and the boys wore their shorts......oh how we laugh when we talk about this story now...but at the time....there they were my older sisters 12, 15, 17, 18 all in these hand sewn suits......can you imagine......they will never forget it......
