Seafood Festival and Car Show

Uncategorized 2 Minutes

A very quiet day today so I’ll tell you all about yesterday.

Yesterday morning we got up early and had breakfast at Another Broken Egg.

I had a lovely omelette and Richard had waffles. What really made it special were the beignets they brought to enjoy while waiting for our meals. They were delicious. Better than the ones we had last year in New Orleans. Imagine that.

Then off to the Seafood Festival and Car Show.

Now neither Richard nor I are seafood lovers or into cars but we do love looking at the arts and crafts vendors. We arrived shortly after nine which was before it officially opened but made for easy parking. Plus all the vendors were ready so we got to stroll through the sites with very few people there.

Score one for us. It’s always so interesting to see all the creative creations.

This welcomed us upon arrival.

Bushwhackers are an extremely popular drink here. I tried one last year. Whoa. Way to strong for me. I couldn’t drink it.

Here’s one a recipe, although most places put their own spin on them and don’t like to share their recipes.

Alabama Bushwacker

  1. In a blender, combine vanilla ice cream, light rum, coconut rum, and coffee liqueur. Blend thoroughly until smooth.
  2. Drizzle caramel syrup in a glass and pour the mix in.
  3. Top with whipped cream, a cherry, and ground nutmeg.

At the festival there were two stages with various musicians performing all day. While we were there this singer/trumpeter was performing.

We had a lovely supper at our wonderful neighbours and Joanne helped Richard interpret his DNA results that he received. Besides having English, Irish, and Scottish he had some Norwegian. He was ecstatic! He’s always joked that he has Viking blood. Now he can say that for a fact. This made his day.

Only two weeks left but I can’t complain. It’s not freezing and there’s no snow.

Nite y’all

With retirement comes the opportunity for new experiences. Debi has a passion for music, singing, theatre, and travel. With her BMEd and MEd she had an extensive career which included elementary music education, performing, vocal instruction, choral conducting, musical theatre directing, and clinician work. She has, for the most part, retired from this very successful music career. But really, does one ever retire from music? I think not. So now the stage is set for the next act: interweaving her love for music, travel, and whatever else comes her way. Wherever her travels take her Debi shares her exploits: musical adventures, local interests, historical sites, local cuisine, the journey there and back, plus whatever life sends her. She'll share the hits and the misses, the successes and the failures, as well as any helpful hints she discovers along the way.
