We sat at the outside bar. Stephanie was working. She told us she was moving to Colorado in October. Her husband was transferred there. We will miss her. She is a good bartender. There were a few folks sitting at the bar. We talked to a couple from Louisiana who were in town for a few days. They were nice. Sunshine Cindy and I watched some of the game then headed home.

Friday night we went to the harbor. We had a bite to eat at The Crust Pizzeria. Charlie was not there but we did talk to him on the phone. They will get their pasta dishes back on the menu soon. In the summer they just do pizza due to the crowds wanting to get in and out quickly. They have great pasta so we can’t wait for that to come back. From there we walked to Harry T’s. We went upstairs to watch the sunset. As we sat there a couple sat next to us and asked if we were Cindy and Steve. Turns out they are friends with Jim and Betty. They are on the Mambo mailing list so they know all about us. Steve and Becky are from Oklahoma and we enjoyed talking to them.
We then walked down to the Boathouse. As we walked in Kenny and some friends were there ordering. I also ordered some drinks. We looked over and Wayne, Therese and Tommy were at a table. We joined them. A little later Steve and Becky also came and joined us. It was a fun night at the Boathouse as usual. Jason was singing and he even had his little son sing some songs. He might be 5 or 6 and was cute singing with his dad. As we left we saw Rob was playing at Coach’s. We thought about stopping but it was late and I was tired. I talked to Rob the next day and he was out till 3 am. I am glad we went home.

Saturday was a boating day. We loaded up BadAss and drove to Sunshine Cindy’s parents. Tiffany and her friend Sara were with us. All six of us loaded into the boat. We planned to cruise for a while then stop for lunch somewhere. Of course it takes forever to get everyone loaded. We backed out into the bayou and started to motor up towards the state park. Jim noticed the temp gauge was climbing. About the same time I could smell something hot coming from the engine compartment. We headed back to the house as the temp gauge was redlining.
Back into the boat house we unloaded everyone and all the stuff. We then checked to see if we were getting water through the engine. We were not. Something is wrong with the impeller. Oh well, that was one of the shortest boat rides ever. We did drive over to The Boathouse in Val-P for lunch. It was really good. Prices over there are much less than Destin. So that part of the day was nice. When we got back home Sunshine Cindy and I went to our pool and hung out for a few hours. It was nice and relaxing.

Sunday was a football day. We went back to Chip’s to watch the Browns game. Most of the place was filled up with Saints fans watching New Orleans and Atlanta play. Julie and Loujean also joined us. We had a nice time watching the games and enjoying each other’s company. The Browns got way behind early, came back to tie the game but lost it on a last second field goal. At least they fought back. Meanwhile the Falcons won a nail bitter. It was a great back and forth game. The Falcons are my second team since I lived there for 20 years. It was a good game and I was glad to see them win.
Tonight (Monday) Sunshine Cindy and I will be interviewed on Island Time Radio out of Cleveland, Ohio. We will be talking with DK and Amo about next year’s Phlocking of the Phaithful Trop Rock party. Here is the info on the Phlocking including a link to the Island Time show. http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Crab-Island-Mambo-presents-Phlocking-of-the-Phaithful.html We will be on about 11:15 pm EST. We hope everyone tunes in tonight and also gets registered for Phlocking.
