Football weekend

It has been a cold and damp few days in Destin but that does not slow us down from having some fun. Thursday night when I got home from work I wanted to stop someplace for a while. Sunshine Cindy decided to stay home so I went off to Landshark. Matt and Paige were working and a good crowd of locals was there including Kirby, Blake, Brian and several others whose names escape me. It was fun with jokes flying, old stories being told, beer flowing and a lot of laughs by everyone. Sunshine Cindy missed a good time.

Bobby got up and sang a song with Mindy and Harley

Friday I spent most of the day working on the Crab Island Mambo web site updating it for 2013. In the evening we went to Lucky’s Rotten Apple to hear Matt and Mindy play. Julie, Russ, Suzanne, Capt. John, Kenny, LeAnn, Bobby and Darla all came in. We had a blast. Mindy was her usual funny self. I was happy as the Rotten Apple has Yuengling Light beer. When the music ended several of us ended up at…where else but the Waffle House for a late night snack! Eat your heart out Flipper!

Sue lost a bet and had to wear a Vikings jersey but she had her cheesehead

Saturday was the start of the NFL playoffs. We decided to head to Landshark as we knew they would have a big crowd of Packer fans in there for the second game. Owners Brian and Sue are originally from Wisconsin and they are big Packer fans. We got there right as the first game started. As we were eating some Wisconsin Cheese Curds (yes, they have them there) Sunshine Cindy got a text from Stephanie and Mark wondering where we were. She told them and they were on the way to join us. It turned out to be great time in there. Packer Backers filled the place. They went home happy as the Pack won easily. Haven, Renee and a different Stephanie were kept running but managed to take care of everyone and keep the good times going. We got home late but it was fun.

We went out for brunch on Sunday to McGuire’s Irish Pub. This is a neat local place with great food that come in large quantities. You don’t go away hungry. We went with Jim, Pam and Tiffany. It was a nice relaxing time there. We all came back to our house afterwards. I spent the afternoon and evening watching football games. I was surprised the games were not closer this weekend.

The weather is supposed to warm up this week in Destin into the 70’s. I am ready for it! The college football BCS championship game is tonight. I have good friends who are fans of both schools. I am not pulling for either but hope for a close game. We might get over to Sago Sports bar to watch it. Enjoy your week. See ya Thursday!
