Living and Playing in Destin

Sunshine Cindy drove up to Atlanta for a few days to visit her daughter so I was a bachelor for a while. Thursday was an odd day. One of my employees in the morning saw a truck with a pole in the bed of the truck hit some power lines on the island. Sparks flew and power went out. Then in the afternoon someone must have hit a pole near my plant and we lost power. Lines were down and a transformer blew. We sent everyone home early instead of having them sit in the dark. Finally as I was heading home the fire department had a hydrant open on the island. It was spewing water and add in a strong wind and all the cars going by were getting drenched.

Mike from KC's

After all that I decided to stop at Landshark Pizza for some wings. As I was finishing Ken walked in. He was going to Beach Liquor. They have about a dozen craft beers on tap and they do a two for one for happy hour. He asked I wanted to join him. Sue was also going. We had a good time having beer in a liquor store!

Friday night I went to the Parrot Head meeting at Harry T’s. It was chilly but we had a good crowd show up of almost 100 people. I stayed for a while then headed home to work on the Crab Island Mambo Mullet Wrapper.

Sunshine Cindy got back home on Saturday. We stayed in after she got home. She was tired and I was still working on the Mullet Wrapper. We decided to head out on Sunday instead.

Dolphins in the harbor

Sunday morning we went to the harbor and Crab Island Cantina for brunch and to watch some football. They have the package so all the games are available. The Cantina has a special football menu but we opted for the brunch. The food at the Cantina is fantastic. We filled up and then watched the Browns game. I am sorry to say the game was ugly for the Browns. We watched the first half and then walked down to Harry T’s. There was a big crowd at Harry T’s watching the games.

As the early games were ending our friends Alan and Jackie came in. They were going upstairs so we joined them. It was a nice afternoon. Jackie said they were there a few days earlier and they saw some dolphins putting on a show in the pass. They were jumping out of the water and a couple times there were two that jumped together. That had to be so cool to see.

Harborwalk Village

When it got dark they headed home and so did Sunshine Cindy and I. When we got home we decided to take a walk. Well, we walked all the way to Chip’s! We had a bite to eat as it was now dinner time. JD and Tami came in. JD had been playing at the Legion. We did not realize it at first but the bartender was their daughter Summer. We have not seen her in over a year. She looked like she was doing well. We finished up and walked back home.

I did publish the Crab Island Mambo Mullet Wrapper on Sunday. You can read all about our trip to Key West in this issue. http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Mullet-Wrapper-November-2014-edition.html
