The Shrimp Festival was great
with a parade (still not as good as Canada Day's in Bobcaygeon but good), vendors/artists
set up with their wares, great eats and terrific people watching. Lots of people come here for the season and
they seem to have the Happy Hours routine down pat—you sort of follow the
crowds about 3-4pm and find the deals.
But you have to ask—at the recommended TiKi Hut the
beers were $3 a piece which made us look at each other like: this is not a good
deal, but on further research we found out the tokens they handed you with the
beer were good for another. We still won’t go back unless we have cash—they
want to keep your credit card and ring you up when you leave—we don’t go for
that. This week brought fog on the bay
in the mornings and mid-80’s –we don’t complain. Monday we sent off LiLa Blue—Larry and Linda
are headed for the Keys then over to the Berry Islands near Bimini—may have to
do that in the next couple of years. Fitz and I are a little bored and fight for
projects—I don’t care a thing about his mechanical projects (just that they
work, then he is a happy camper) but when I start something he would like to
micro-manage—we are having to work that out. While out provisioning at
Walmart on March 15th, the phone started ringing. First we get
a text that our buddy Terry O’Donnell is headed to the CCU in Franklin—seems he
had an aneurism waiting to happen and they went in and did a little patchwork
on his artery. Doing OK now but scared
us for the day. Then the rental agent on
the “dirt” house called and said he had someone interested in renting for the next
6 months with the ability to rent for the next year. We have been toying with moving back in in
May or even selling. Decisions,
Decisions. Then we get a serious call
about Next Chapter –our houseboat we have had for sell for 3 years. If that works out then there will be more decisions. Happy
St. Paddy’s Day everyone—2 years ago we were in Ft. Myers (the city) and
enjoyed their celebration—now we are just down the road …full circle?
