The nice thing about the warm temps was I could still use our pool. Friday when I got home from work I went swimming and it felt so good. Speaking of the new house…we are checking tasks off the remodel list. The gas line was approved by the city and we hooked up the gas grill. All painting inside the house is done. The recessed spot for the TV is done. The granite folks came out to measure the kitchen counter. The rest of the trimming of the trees is done. Yep, the place is shaping up.
We invited Sunshine Cindy’s parents over on Saturday to break in the new grill. I cooked up some burgers and we had a fun visit. The grill worked like a champ. I think I will really like it. They weren’t gone 5 minutes when the skies opened up. That was a surprise rain shower for sure.
Sunday Funday we went to Landshark Pizza to watch the Browns. They still suck. But we had a good time with our friends Ken, Cheryl and Bobby. Paige took good care of us. It was a good atmosphere with a lot of hooting and hollering.
Earlier in the week the Emerald Coast Parrot Head club had a fund raising dinner at Landshark. 10% of the food sales went to our Alzheimer’s charity fund. We had a small but fun group there. Ron and a friend of his, Ken who is a true Cajun were there. We were the last ones from our group there and we had a blast. Ken was a fun guy. While there a Parrot Head friend, Mike came in. We had not seen Mike in months as he is fighting colon cancer. He looked pretty good all things considered. He said he has 4 more chemo treatments but so far so good. Keep up the fight Mike!
We get asked all the time how Chaos is taking to her new house. She loves it. She runs after squirrels all day long if we let her. She actually almost got one last week but I’m not sure what she would do if she caught it. She also loves to play ball in the house. It’s funny but she takes her ball up the stairs and then she rolls the ball back down the steps and she waits till Sunshine Cindy or I throw the ball back up to her. Yep, Chaos loves her new house!
Around town we heard Golden Corral has closed down. I don’t know for sure but I think it had something to do with their rent being raised too high.
This coming weekend is the Destin Seafood Festival. Tens of thousands will descend on the harbor for food, drinking and music. Our friends the Southern Drawl Band will be headlining Saturday night for the third year in a row. They play starting at 8 pm. Come out and have a good time. These guys are awesome!
Have a great week. See ya next Monday.
Destin Steve
