It was a busy week for Sunshine Cindy and I. Tuesday and Wednesday the new kitchen granite was installed. It looks awesome. We are just waiting for a new cabinet/bar to come in and get installed then all we have left for now is to pick out some new backsplash. We are getting close to having friends over to check it all out.
We didn’t get the water and gas back on in the kitchen until Thursday. We had to let all the glue and granite stuff set up. So Wednesday on my way home from work I stopped in at The Crust to pick up some pasta to take home. There was a strange occurrence while I was there. When I walked in there was only 4 people sitting at a table. After I placed my to-go order, a couple of other families came in. About this time the first 4 people left. Then one of the guys come storming back into the restaurant waving a piece of paper around hollering who was the tough guy who put this note on her car (who ever “her” was). No one knew what he was talking about. He even “invited” everyone outside to talk about it.
A guy from the back said no one knows what you are talking about. Someone else asked what the note said. I heard him mumble “asshole.” Then he left. The poor waitress didn’t know what to say or do. About this time the guys storms back in waiving the paper saying it was written on a ticket from the restaurant. He looked at the waitress saying did you do this? She looked at him and said, “Like I had time to run out while I was taking care of everyone.” Then she told him the ticket was not even from the Crust. He stormed out again and finally left. I’m sure he is an asshole and that’s why the note was put there from a previous stop I bet. I joked that I wanted to follow him around town and put more notes on his window! LOL
This weekend our friends Buz and Brenda were getting married on the beach on Saturday. Thursday night the guys got together for a bachelor party for Buz. They started out at Harry T’s. I got there a little early and went to Crab Island Cantina as the bar at Harry T’s was packed. Monica was working the bar. It was not busy so we had a chance to catch up as I had not seen her in a while. When I got back to Harry T’s I found out the party was upstairs. I stayed for this part of the party. They were moving on to the Island but I headed home after chatting with Dan for a while.
Friday was a low key day for us. Sunshine Cindy’s parents came by for a visit but otherwise we took it easy.
Saturday was the wedding on the beach by the Crab Trap. Wayne came by our house to see all the work we have had done. He then rode with us to the beach. It was a day for weddings as three other weddings were going on too. Buz and Brenda looked great. Mike was a perfect “flower girl” as he dispensed miniature bottles of booze to the crowd. Yep, a typical Parrot Head wedding.
After the wedding Steve and Becky invited us to their condo that was just a short drive away. Several folks ended up there as we had a few drinks before the reception that was being held at the American Legion. Steve and Becky have done a lot of work to their place recently and it looks great. They live in Oklahoma but visit Destin often. They are great folks and a lot of fun to hang around with.
Sunshine Cindy and I stayed at the reception for a while then decided we wanted to get away to someplace a little more quiet. We went to the new Italian restaurant, Ciao Italian Bistro. We had a great meal. They get their Italian sausage from Chicago. It was out of this world. The entire meal was perfect. Gugliamo is the owner. He has had several different places in Destin over the years. He was there and we got to talk with him too. He has a hit on his hands. They just got a new pizza oven installed and are ready to start serving pies. I’m sure they will be just as good as the rest of their food. We will be back!
On Sunday I was back at Landshark Pizza for the Browns game. It was a close game but they lost again. This is getting depressing. Oh well, it was fun hanging out with our friends.
It was a dangerous week on the waters around Destin. Earlier in the week a charter boat captain was 21 miles out when he saw a couple of guys in the water. They were diving for Lionfish and their boat had engine problems and broke free. They were two very lucky guys. Then over the weekend a boat overturned in East Pass. 6 people were in the water when good Samaritans pulled them to safety. And finally a small fawn deer was rescued from the Gulf. I’m glad to say all were okay.
My next blog will be Tuesday November 7th. Sunshine Cindy and I will be taking our yearly trip to the Keys and Key West for the Parrot Head “Meeting of the Minds.” This convention, musical festival and family reunion all rolled into one is a fun time. We are glad to be able to help get some tourist money back into the Keys after Irma. See ya when we get back!
