As a lot of you may have seen already I've been away from my duties on fb now since Thursday. Then again maybe not so much! Either way, I was able to escape my encampment at my Apartment complex, thanks to my friend Don, and with him a lady that makes all entrapment, just seem like another good day. Well this wasn't going to be just another day, or days, or weekend! This was the real deal to a Memorial weekend Celebration. So it was the next week, this is after all the end of the month & the beginning of a new one. That new one, being June....ALL READY....!!
Don had already made plans to cook Breakfast & lunch on the beach for Saturday. Sounds good to me, but we still had Friday. That was soon solved when I decided to go to Caddy's on Sunset beach...you can refer to my oh so powerful pose in the surf that greatly resembles The Hulkster...! I really like this Beach, & rate it right up there with the finest to be found in Florida. No I haven't been to them ALL, but determined to do so as long as my Physic can hold up. We sat on the upper level with it's own Bar & view of the whole beach, and what ever may pass by, no matter how distracting. We were soon joined by a lovely couple that wanted to get out of the Rain, which had come about rather abruptly, as most Summer storms do. He worked on a gambling boat, at John's Pass, & she was a waitress...go figure. and with one like her's there was no second guessing. After the rain had stopped, they headed to the beach, and we headed to the next bar.
The next place we stopped at was just up the beach, and was called 'Screwie Louies' South Beach Bar. This too was another favorite, having access to both inside & out, but no view of the Beach. Although it made up for it by having some of the best Sea food meals close by. We didn't stay long, and was soon on our way back, so that Don could drop me off, and we all could start fresh the next day.
The Weather was a mix all Friday, but didn't think too much of it by the time Saturday rolled around.
So much for timing, Don & Shiela picked me up promptly at 8:00 a.m. so that Don could start cooking breakfast in time for none of us would go be hungry. No sooner than we started out, first to go back & pick up something left at Shiela's , we seemed to be heading straight into a Hell-of-va storm. No worries, down here all yo have to do is change directions, and go for the 'bright-spot'. Which in our case was toward the beach we were going to. We like to go to the Gandy Beach for sun & fun, since you can back right up close to the water, & have at it. Sure enough, by the time we reached the beach the Sun was out. You can refer to this one to the pic. of me hangin' in the tree. I took Otis here, oh yeah the pic of Otis in the water was where I always parked. This is on the Bay side, so you'll notice that the water isn't that 'nice blue' but it makes up for it when you can pull right on the beach & party along with your dog.
We set up & before you knew it, the eggs, sausage, & toast were just about ready. The Sun was moving in & out all morning, so you really didn't know how much Sun you were getting. I found out as we were leaving. I did have Don take some shots to prove it. Will try to transfer to fb.
Leaving the beach, there is another good Sea food place called the Crab Shack, where a friend works but didn't stop, maybe tomorrow. We headed home but before we got to close, thought we may as well stop at the bar that Shiela works, Sneaky 'D's. Caught up on the crew, always good to see who's still Kickin'.
Sunday started out a little later, since we were going for the lunch, that we didn't have on Saturday. This time the Sun was out & it stayed out the whole, time making it an early stay & left shortly after having some very nice Steaks on the Grill. We...I for one..couldn't sit facing the Sun any more, so we departed and soon was on our way to The Corner Bar, where we were to meet some friends, & visit with Julie the Bartender that we all knew from the first bar I started going to when I first came here.
Was good timing, we met the couple as we drove in, also the Rays were playing, so we got to see them kick some ass. & win another. So that was enough, headed back, so that Monday couldn't have come sooner.
Don picked me up early Monday morning, so that I could get some errands done. Then he wanted to split & get back. Couldn't blame him there...I was right there with him. So we still needed a little time to kill until Sam's open, so after K-Mart we stopped at the 'Office'..that's Sneaky's...since when Joe & the rest of us would be there for quite a few business meeting after 'work'. Finished up by getting my Sams done & Don made it out in time to be on the road by Noon. Myself, I took the short road to a long nap.
It was a most enjoyable weekend, that like I said, had more resemblence to a real Holiday. Was also nice to have this Cyber thingy shut down for a few days, but now feeling good about being back....speaking of being back from a weekend of Feasting & Flocking , it seems that we have some hope for two terrible diseases. Both may become popular while eating out. One was that Coconut Oil may have some benefits for defusing Alzheimer's at an early stage. The other is that Michael Douglas suggests Oral Sex most likely caused his throat Cancer.
Well here we are in June already, so you know what that means, August will be upon us soon, so get ready for more Fun & Frolicking at the next Re-union/ tribute party at Charlie's, along with music & a meal of Roasted Pig. 'Til then......8/17...peace-out....
