Up early...again. Shooter and Sadie are my morning companions. :love: I can't tell y'all how much I love these dogs.
It's my son's 30th birthday!! Wow, do I feel old.
Red Bar for breakfast. Do you detect a pattern developing here?
I think I had a hangover. Go figure.
Went to the beach. Water was great! Had lunch on the beach with Mr. DD. Just enjoyed the day.
Made plans to meet BeachSi02 for the dog off at Jambones. (See Hot Dog! thread). He was so darling.
I think I had drinks.

Aren't they precious?

Met Franny and Ralph:love: for lunch at Seagrove Market. Mr. DD and I split the grouper sandwich. Last time I'll do that. He can get his own from now on. YUM!
Then, we looked at houses with F&R. I saw a couple I could definitely do, but I the purpose of the trip was to get Mr. DD as in love with SoWal as I am. I think it might be working. :dunno:
Stopped at Publix :love:....bought stuff for dinner.
Cooked dinner for jfunn, R&F, etc. Over indulged.


Wednesday, August 12

Up early with S&S.
Mr. DD played golf with Ralph.
Went on a funn field trip with jfunn to some of the galleries. Saw lots of funn and gorgeous stuff. Inspiring for sure. Then, we lunched at Shorty's. I had the shrimp po-boy. DELISH!! Saw Allifunn & Redd.
Kinda rainy/thundery.
Talked to Tootsie. Made plans for dinner at Allifunn's. Went to Publix:love:
Made mac & cheese. Took that and some banana pudding from the night before.
Had funn with some funn people!!:love:

Hey DD- way to plan a vacay- you left just in time to avoid Claudette (and me- got home last night:sosad:).

:sosad: I know. Can you please be home the weekend of Oct. 24? I'd stay through a Claudette to see you. :wave:

:clap: This is the bestest trip report. It sounds like you had a blast. I am laughing that "you think you had drinks". I can't wait for the next installment.

:popcorn:

Well, it's comin' up! :wave:

DD - I'm laughing out loud, and I'm loving your trip report complete with pix. wonderful!

my absolute fave so far...
We pass Don's--Mr. DD's favorite boudin place in the world. He loves it so much that we have a case of the crap in our freezer as I speak. I think he wanted me to genuflect when we passed.

crack me UP. I'm a boudin lover too. I love the genuflect statement, I can just see it, add the sign of the cross.

Up early with S&S.
Reading the book Julie & Julia.
Mr. DD discovers nail in tire. Not flat. Call jfunn to find out where to get it fixed. PCB. We're off!
Get tire fixed in record time. Mr. DD announces he just HAS to go to Ron Jon's Surf shop for a sticker. We pass the teeny tiny little sign in front of Pier Park for RJ Surf Shop. We then wander around for about 15 minutes looking for RJ SS. He buys a sticker and a wooden sign. I stay in the car and talk to DL. We make plans for us to stop by her place on the way back. I buy bread at Panera for lunch. We arrive at DL's wonderful home and are totally facinated with all her stories, pics and her fabulous view!! She offered to take us in the boat, but after her wonderful lunch, I know I wasn't up to rowing! LOL!
If y'all haven't met her, make it a point to do so. She is so gracious and wonderful that I can't stop talking about her! :love: I think I drank wine.
We bid a sad farewell to DL and head to the Watercolor store to buy stuff. 30AFunn stuff. Jfunn exhibits her patience with a rather annoying lady.
We talk about going to dinner.
Stop at SGM for their wonderful iced tea. Chill for a while and play what seems to be endless ball/fetch with Sadie. :love:
Jfunn comes home. We decide on left overs. :clap:
Off to bed early. Last day tomorrow. :sosad:

All I know is, I thought I was going to have to get the decibel meter out, with all that partying going on. Guess my invite got lost in the mail.
