January 28, 2015. Nuevo Vallarta, Mex. The Lost Top.

Every day, Rita and Ian go into the ocean. Rita is short so does not get into deep water but yesterday she ventured out further with Ian. Suddenly, a wave broke right over her and she was tumbled. When she came up, sputtering and full of sand and water, she discovered that her top was missing. Both of them giggled. Finally, Rita realized that her top was around her waist. Over the years, the straps had stretched and the waves lifted them right off her shoulders. Her top was now useless. The tops at our mall were expensive so this morning they took the bus to Wall Mart. Unfortunately, none were available but the lovely shopping center right next to Wall Mart were able to provide what she wanted, which was just one top. And it was cheaper than our mall too. Tomorrow will be the test as to whether or not the top will stay up. Rita hopes it will.
