Sunday morning Sunshine Cindy and I went to brunch at Harry T’s. We got there about 10 am and the place was packed. We had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. I don’t know where everyone came from.
Then the excitement started…Sunday afternoon, Sunshine Cindy left to go shopping and she got hit by a lady that ran a red light. She was fine and the car is still drivable but the passenger side headlights are all busted up and the door won’t open. Luckily a couple in a car behind Cindy stopped and waited for the cops to collaborate Sunshine Cindy’s story. I was in the pool, got changed and went up there. It happened at the corner of Airport Road and Commons. Sunshine Cindy had a left turn arrow and the lady ran the light.
When I got there a cop was there and starting his investigation. The lady that hit her was a 61 year old rich bitch from Mississippi. She was driving a brand new two week old Benz. Her husband is an attorney and she was going to the Destin airport to pick him up. Sunshine Cindy and the other couple told the cop they thought she might have been drunk. He agreed. He got some back-up and they put her through the roadside test. By this time her husband showed up but he didn’t say a word. She told the cop she takes a lot of medicines like Zanax. To make matters worse for her the car and plate was called in four days ago as a suspected drunk driver. Of course she had no idea why that would be. She failed the test, was put under arrest and got a free trip to Crestview. Now we get the hassle of dealing with insurance. At least no one was hurt.
Saturday turned out to be another one of those surprise fun days. We ran a bunch of errands and headed to Tailfins about 2:30. I knew BT was going to be playing later so I texted him I was sure we won’t be still around for his show. Lo and behold five minutes later he shows up. He was on the harbor having got there early because of Cinco de Mayo. Anyway, we did see most of his show. He did a great show. At one point I looked down the harbor and the entire front of the lower bar area was wall to wall people singing and dancing. Johnny loves him too. BT has bounced back just fine.
On Wednesday we had a Parrot Head club board meeting. We met at Hogs Breath. They had a hostess who looked like she was about 12 out front. She told us we couldn’t move any tables and pull them together outside. Ok, we would sit in the bar area and pull some tables together. Nope, you can’t do that. So I asked the bartender if he minded us pulling some tables together and he sure, go for it. LOL And Hogs did honor our locals card so I guess that is still good.
Friday was spent cleaning up our pool area. I then got in the water. I only made it in about half way but at least I got in! The water temp is in the mid-70’s but climbing fast.
Around town Carlito’s Deli down in Harborwalk Village is now open. The What-a-Burger in Destin across from Harborwalk is being completely remodeled. It looks like a total gut job. And the new Autozone is now open. It seems like just a week ago they were putting walls up.
The next blog will be in a couple weeks. Sunshine Cindy and I will be traveling to Costa Rica to party with some good friends. See ya when we get back!
