Nadiya...Loving Every Moment: One Of A Kind...

One Of A Kind...

Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter

and those who matter don't mind...

Before leaving for Mexico I noticed that Arvid was wearing a watch. This is

not unusual for most people, but being Arvid I found it very strange so I asked

him how come he was even taking a watch. Usually when he has a watch I

end up keeping it in my handbag. Like Arvid, I do not use much jewelery or even

a watch anymore. Too hot where we live and I do not like the tan lines they leave.

Back to why he was even taking a watch. This is what Arvid said to me,

"this watch is to protect you against bad people." Of course I look at him and

not having a clue as to where this was going or what he was saying I had to ask.

Answer, "should we get mugged or attacked, I can just give them the watch."

I looked at him again and first thing I said was,"but it's safe where we go, and

who the heck is going to attack us." His answer, "you always have to plan

for the worse." And with that he packed his watch in his backpack for use

in Mexico. Once in Mexico he wore the watch in the evenings. I asked why

not during the daytime as well? Answer, "nothing will happen during the day."

For two evenings he was good with the watch. Wore it with out complaining,

but always halfway through the evenings it ends up in my handbag because,

"I really think the watch is too heavy and it aches my entire arm."

So much for protection. Guess if we get attacked I just have to pull the watch

out of my handbag and show it to the supposed mugger and hope it will

save our lives as Arvid seems to believe.

In the meantime, we are enjoying my sister and nephew's visit.
Though it rained quite a bit yesterday, Arvid still managed to watch the soccer
game with JC while my sister and I enjoyed Pina Coladas and Margaritas on the
beach... in the middle of the rain. It was just a lot of fun.
