Destin Life

This has been a busy and hectic week for Sunshine Cindy and I. Monday morning we had her daughter fly in from Atlanta. Tiffany came into town to rent a U-haul and get her stuff up to Atlanta where she just got an apartment. They spent all day Monday getting the truck loaded. (They had movers lined up to do that.) Monday afternoon Sunshine Cindy and I had a Crab Island Mambo meeting with Jeff. He is with a local printing company. We talked to him about a logo for our Put in Bay music festival.

We met Jeff at Friday’s in Destin. When the meeting was done Jeff left and Tiffany joined us. We had dinner and relaxed. I went home but Sunshine Cindy and Tiffany did some shopping. Typical mother/daughter stuff.

Ed and Barb are ready for the beach

Tuesday I left for work and Sunshine Cindy and Tiffany got ready to drive to Atlanta. Sunshine Cindy rode with Tiffany. They made it fine and had movers ready to unload the truck. All went well. Back in Destin I stopped at The Crust on the way home from work. I wanted to get a pizza and talk to Charlie the owner. Charlie was not there but I did get the pizza. A few table were filled with snowbirds and some tourist. The town is actually pretty busy this week.

Wednesday saw Sunshine Cindy’s parents drive up to Atlanta. They will bring Sunshine Cindy back Thursday. I decided to stop at Landshark Pizza on the way home for some wings. The place was crowded for their Wednesday wing night. It’s only $.59 each for wings. A good deal. Alan and Jackie were there. I joined them. Steve, Bruce, Glen, Brian, B, James, Jonelle…a cast of thousands were there enjoying some good food. I had my wings and headed home to watch some hockey for the night.

There are a few changes taking place with local restaurants. The Pepito’s Mexican restaurant in Miramar Beach is closing and they will reopen at the old La Rumba’s next to City Market. The old Malibu Jack’s which was a Puerto Rican restaurant this past year is closed and some new folks are taking it over. I am not sure what their theme will be yet. A major remodeling job is taking place at The Back Porch. It has been a while since they updated. Still no word on who is taking over the Fisherman’s Wharf building but a lot of remodeling work is going on there too.

A big weekend is planned with a house concert party on Saturday with Brent Burns then of course Sunday is the Super Bowl. We plan to be at Landshark Pizza for the game. Here is my Crab Island Mambo Weekly Update: http://www.crabislandmambo.com/Weekend-Update.html

Have a great weekend. A full report on our “Chaos” on Monday. See ya then!
