Last week Richard saw an ad for a meeting of the Gulf Shores Snowbirds Club at The Wharf. It was advertised in the free community paper, The Mullet Wrapper which is published every two weeks and includes tons of information for snowbirds.
We were especially excited to attend as the ad said it has members from three Canadian provinces. There are lots of state snowbird clubs here in Gulf Shores but no Canadian ones so this club really interested us.
So today off we went.
Off to see the Wizard.
Oops. Nope.
Off to see The Wharf.
First we went to breakfast at The Southern Grind Coffee House.

It was ok. My veggie quiche was barely warm. I like my food HOT. But my Chai Latte was tasty. Richard’s oatmeal was good but his coffee awful. Can’t win ‘em all.
Ooo. Excited to now try out the club.
While walking there a gentleman stopped and asked us a question about how to get to the second level. During our conversation it came up that we were from Canada. His response? “I love Canadians. Do you know…?” OMG. We sure had a laugh afterwards. I’m sure this has happened to many of you. Comment and tell me your stories.
The G.S. Snowbird club was meeting at Ginny Lane Bar and Grill .
Inside the entrance two men were sitting at a table and asked us to pay $2.00 for coffee. I gave them two dollars and mentioned I don’t drink coffee. He quickly countered “Women aren’t allowed.” Hahaha. I laughed. I thought he was joking. Again he said, “Women aren’t allowed.” Whoa. What? He was serious. I couldn’t believe it. Threw me for such a loop I couldn’t even think of a come back. Probably good I didn’t.
After we left we discussed the ad and neither one of us remembered it stating Women not allowed.
Here’s the ad. Can you find that qualifier?
Unbelievable. But ladies remember this.
The rest of the day was much better. Gym. Yoga. Starbucks.
And shopping at Tanger Outlet Mall.
I had such fun shopping for baby clothes. Spent an hour in OshKosh/Carters. Loved it.
Late lunch or early supper what ever you want to call it at Baumhowers

Food was delicious although there was quite a mixup in getting it. The waitress brought one burger and fries to the table and obviously our faces showed surprise. She though we had ordered one between us. Nope. Doesn’t know us, does she? Like we’d be sharing a burger. Not in this lifetime. So I ate mine while Richard ate my fries. Then 30 minutes later his arrived and he got to eat his burger and me his fries. It worked.
Home again home again jiggety jig.
