THE KEY TO MY HEART

7

We took a lot of photos in our two weeks in Spain.  Cindy's crew was polite as usual. When we all were going through customs of items we purchased, they said they went to new places in Spain as a group they had never been before . We left customs. Jaime had her truck. We loaded everything we had purchased for ourselves and others.   It was early, so we started dropping off the gifts to friends and coworkers who didn't live by us. We had lunch in Jaime's truck as she drove to my parents' home to drop their gifts off to them. We each still had our keys when we lived with them, and they kept the same alarm code. We  left their gifts on the kitchen table. We used the bathroom before we took the gifts to my parents, who were still at work. We left there to drop off our purchases and luggage, which included our golf equipment.  We changed our clothes and took two bottles of orange juice with us. Jaime drove across the street. Jaime handed the two guards each a bottle of wine.  They were appreciative. We dropped a few bottles of wine at each ones home on the Ruiz property. We finally pulled up to the Ruiz home. They had just returned from riding their bikes in the neighborhood.

"We are glad you two showed up, or Jaime and I would have left your two cases of wine on your front porch. Thanks for allowing us to have your crew fly us to and from Spain.  The four of them said they traveled as a group to places they had never been. We went to places we had never been to either.  We better get going. We have a lot of thank you cards to write too. We are done with our Christmas shopping.  We both return to work next week. We have a lot of gifts to wrap."

We hugged them, thanked them, and then they left.  We opened the cases of wine and placed them in our first story cooler. Cindy removed one bottle to open for lunch. We had picked up some Mexican food from Azteca restaurant that was in our neighborhood now. We washed up. Cindy opens the wine and poured us a glass of red rośe. We both sit down to enjoy our lunch. We enjoyed our meal. We cleaned  up and ran the dishwasher.  We went skinny, dipping in our indoor pool, and swam for a bit before we got our and dried ourselves off. We tossed all the dirty clothes and towels in the downstairs laundry room. We knew the cleaning crew would be here soon.  We barely made it to our bedroom when we heard them talking. Cindy locked our bedroom door. I used the intercom system asking them to clean our bedroom and ensuite last. Cindy had the water hot already when I entered the bathroom with our clean clothes. I entered the shower. We made love before we actually took a comd shower.  We rinsed our entire body and dried our bodies.  We blow dried our own hair and put the blow dryers away in the drawer. We applied deodorant on and for dressed in adidas slides after we had uv shorts and tank tops on over our underwear. We exited the bathroom and our bedroom.   We went to our office to do some work. One of the cleaning crew asked if she could dust and clean our office. We left our office after we logged out of our desk tops. We already had packed to fly to Arizona, Los Angelos, San Francisco, and Sacramento to check on our clinics. We would be gone for a few days. Lisa, Taylor,  Peter,  Julian, and Liz were coming with us.  We had everything in the helicopter already. We weren't golfing this time.  We left a few hours in the helicopter. Julia was flying us while I was the co-pilot.  We eventually landed on the roof of our Arizona clinic. We all got out and went down the elevator. We all ran out of the elevator to the restrooms. Everyone was waiting in the lounge area as we met with the director.  Our meeting didn't last long. We informed them we wouldn't be attending any of our businesses parties this year but to have fun at local hotels.  We all left for the roof again. Julia was now flying us to Los Angeles.  We would stay the night in Los Angeles.  We would leave tomorrow for San Francisco.  We plan on staying there for a few days. My brother and our friends wanted to shop their for Christmas.  This was the reason why we didn't bring our golf equipment. Julia had to land twice to get gas for the helicopter and have our engine looked at.  We finally were back in the air and en route to Los Angeles.  We arrived a few hours later.   Julian and I  rented jeep Cherokees.They were to be in the employee parking lot.  The receptionist had the keys. They got the keys.  We carried our luggage to them.  Lisa  stayed back while the three of them left in Julian's rental to the hotel.  We went upstairs for our meeting.   We were there for two hours. We had Lisa  come and join us mid meeting for lunch. We finished eating and she said she would wait downstairs for us which she did. The meeting was finished and we left. Lisa drove us to the hotel.  The traffic was bad. Lisa stopped at a truck stop so we could all use the bathroom before we made our way to the hyatt.  Julia had a room for the three of us.  We unpacked and took a shower. We took a nap and none of us heard the landline nor our cellphones ring.  We went downstairs in the restaurant and had dinner with the others.

"Sis, the three of you must of been tired.  I tried a few times calling you on the landlines and your cellphones. "  " Peter, we left our cellphones in the lounge area to charge. We took a nap. Yes, the three of us are still tired.  Once we are done eating, we are going back to our rooms to sleep.  We will be leaving by ten. We will meet everyone here at nine."

We finished and paid the bill. Lisa left the tip since Julia paid the bill for us three. Most of this time would be written off on our taxes. We left to use the restroom.  Peter,  Julian and Liz left to go to the movies.  We went to the fourth floor to our suite. Lisa used her key card and her door gadget to lock the main door. We used ours for the two balcony doors.  We  changed for bed and took our evening medicine and vitamins with colloidal silver. We fell asleep fairly quickly.  We woke up hearing  Lisa cussing. We got up out of bed to see why she was screaming.  She was screaming in her sleep. We got into bed with her and whispered in her ears she was safe.  It seemed she was having a nightmare when she was in the war.
