I countered by pointing out that I am a boy. She cut in,telling me "a pretty boy though, who gets mistaken for a pretty girl" Iwas having to agree wit... what she said. Then she suggested I get Aliceto give me a mixed blonde colouring when we went. And as usual, I didnot take long to agree to the idea and actually thought it would lookgood.I was not mentally ready for the transformation that blonde hair givesyou. I was stunned when Alice finished. Not only blonde, but she hadtightened the curls. Steele came down the circular staircase and said, "Good, all here. OK ladies. This is Mario Topez. He's the cook here, so be nice to him. He makes the best ribs on the face of the earth, and he also does a wicked full breakfast."April smiled at his usage of the word "wicked"."Ok, so lets take the tour."The girls and April were shown what was behind some of the doors on the "help level" as Steele called it. There were six rooms for the help, two with bunk bed arrangements in them, so it could. I was excited and went there to see Manasa. I looked around and she was nowhere to be found. Then there was a hard grasp on my shoulder from behind and I turned around. “Who are you?” asked a short bald man in his late fifties.I introduced myself and he said his name was Sundar Lal and that he was the new owner of this house. I greeted him and we exchanged pleasantries. He seemed like a good soft-spoken man. I wondered if he knew about Manasa’s affairs.He then started to unload a trunk from his. ....ready!!! Come see!!!"I step into the backyard and can't suppress the giggle."What's so funny, Miss Smartypants?" he demands.What is so funny is our brand spanking new hot tub. Not the tub itself, but the setup surrounding it. Our plan is to install a low barrier surrounding it with lattice work that we'll grow ivy on so it's pretty private. However, the install came a full two weeks earlier than expected and hubby wasn't ready. However, a number of garden stakes and the leftover thatching.
