| SUN LAKES LIFESTYLES | APRIL 2026 | 65 Only tempting oer is the free box of Lucky Charms but 5K? I think I'll go on a trip to Ireland with the 5K and dance my jig there. I will be a sensation! Ruth R. Looking forward to some warm beer, and lucky charms! Jamie T. Ooh who wants warm beer! Sitting & sipping warm beer on a Rick O' Shea sofa … Hang on for dear life… On the Sunny Side is the Pot Of Gold…. I could never do a jig for 45 minutes. Guess a Clover Table isn't in my future. Shirley D. at was creative! Rob T. Corned beef, please! Mel O. Top o' the Morn to Paddy and Rick O'Shea! I've always tried to wear the Green but never tried sitting on it. Victor G. is month's joke was a bit easier than last month's. I thought the previous month's joke was that there WAS no joke. I looked through the magazine 2-3 times, searching for it. Ya got me! Sallie F. Before I commit to a large purchase, I'd like to know if the free box of Lucky Charms is family size or just regular. Gregg Krekeler "Exclusive line of Ric O'Shea living room sets" is very clever. You deserve a "cold" beer. L.K. J. your comments: GET THE JOKE!

From Courtney Taylor, Publisher: When our son Benjamin was six, Tim and I took him on a four-day Mexican Riviera cruise. We got the inside janitor-closet room — no windows and approximately 16 square feet. You walked in and immediately were in bed. Needless to say, we didn't spend a lot of time lounging in our closet. There was a kid's area where they had activities for different age groups while parents relaxed at the pool. At our first dock, we got off and explored. We ate and drank and shopped. Ben found a wrestler mask he wanted but we told him it was too expensive and we'd find one cheaper. After that, it was the only thing he thought about. In Ensenada, we went to La Bufadora (the blow hole). We had to get on a bus that dated back to the Aztecs. The roads were narrow and our right side wheels were half on, half over the cliff. And the driver was going fast. I clutched Ben and wrote my final goodbyes on the back of a CVS receipt. There were a lot of people I said goodbye to. We survived and walked around the vendor tents at the blow hole. "Hey little boy!" they called to Ben. He was very polite and went when he was called. I kept having to say, "You can ignore them." Tim and I walked ahead of him and the vendors all called out. He finally screamed, "IT'S HAPPENING AGAIN!" The sad part for him, none of them had wrestling masks. We boarded the bus and now were on the inside part of the road, hugging a mountain as we returned. As we walked to port, there was a blind woman begging for money while she held a baby on her lap. Ben saw her and stopped. He leaned down and quietly asked, "Excuse me, do you know where I can get a wrestling mask?" I tipped her and dragged him away. We did end up finding one before boarding the ship and his mind was set free to have other thoughts. Back in our closet, we saw that the crew had cleverly folded our towels into various animal shapes. We were tickled. When we went to dinner, they knew the drinks we liked and took Ben around the room to meet pretty girls. It was a fantastic trip and we still have the mask. Now Ben's grown and we no longer stay in a closet. On our last trip, we had windows and a butler. As rubes, we had no idea to do with a butler. I brought wind- up butterflies hid them under things he'd move to surprise him. I'm sure he was annoyed. He never folded our towels like elephants. It made me miss the closet … a little. I just need to figure out what to do with a butler. I found the joke!
