Living and Playing in Destin

Sunshine Cindy and I did a lot of playing this past week. Thursday was her birthday. She is 29…again! We went to McGuire’s for dinner. The food and drinks were fabulous as always. The business McGuire’s does is amazing. The place stays packed.

When we left McGuire’s we stopped in at Landshark Pizza to watch the first few selections in the NFL draft. My Browns were picking first and fourth. The reward for a terrible season. I wanted them to take Baker Mayfield with the first pick and they did. I let out a big yell of approval. They then made another good pick with the fourth selection in an Ohio State cornerback. Hopefully this is the start of something good. Landshark’s had a big crowd for the draft. I guess everyone is ready for some football.

Friday evening was our Parrot Head Phlocking at Crab Island Cantina. We had over 100 folks show up on a beautiful night. The Dizzy Juke’s Band entertained everyone and the staff took great care of us. We once again raised a bunch of money for our current charity.

Saturday was spent at home as Sunshine Cindy’s parents came to visit for her birthday. It was a perfect day for us to celebrate.

Sunday we got a lot of stuff done around the house as we prepare for an upcoming trip to Costa Rica. I snuck off for a while to Landshark to get a pizza but that was it. Sue was working the bar and it was a relatively quiet day there. The weather was so nice most folks were probably on the water or at the beach. There was one couple in there with their kids. Sue said they come down once a month from Birmingham for the day and always end up at Landshark before they head home. It’s about a three hour drive but when you love the beach you do what you have to do!

Actually on Sunday it finally felt like spring. The temp got up to 86 degrees. It was awesome!

The old Helen Back on the island reopened this past weekend. The new owners have renamed it The FUBAR Pizza bar and grill. Their advertising is making a point to say the entire place is remodeled and the “smell” is gone! LOL

Our friend BT is back at Crab Island Cantina’s on Sunday’s now. And he will be playing at Tailfins each Friday and Saturday evenings for the season. With Ronnie leaving this left an opening and I am glad BT was able to fill that slot. He will do awesome there.

Have a great week. See ya next Monday.
