It Only Hurts When I Blog

Yo-Ho, Yo-Ho, a Pirates Bloggy life for me!

I can't wait to see the next 'Pirates of the Caribbean' with Johnny Depp and Orlando Bloom-age.

Maybe they'll cut down on Johnny's eye makeup this time.

It's already nearing 10am and Charlie and I just finished breakfast and breakfast-cleanup. I just put in a wash, and I'm going to post a quick blog entry and try to post more later.

I've got errands to run this morning like; go to the dump, go to a flea market, go buy my annual TN fishing license, stop at the store, etc. That means I'd better get the show on the road!

I actually went to the same flea market yesterday - when I bought some jelly jars from a lady and started chatting with her, she ended up asking for some of my strawberry jam, so I'm headed back there today. She's going to trade me for more jars.

Anyhow, I think I'll post a few more pictures of our Florida trip and bail out for now.

The photo at the top is the 'tiki hut' at our resort where you could buy drinks and popsicles and suntan stuff, etc. It made for a good photo background.

Another 'tiki hut' kind of place we went to was a restaurant named 'Sharkys'.

We sat at a table facing the ocean, saw dolphins and parasailors going by, and ate up a STORM.

Here is a photo of the restaurant.

Our waitress took OUR photo with my camera and cut off both of our heads.

Sorry, about that, folks.


Here is a photo of the parasailing.

There were 2 different parasailing groups going out at the same time, but this one was closest to our table where I took the photo from.

Nice view, eh?

This was also where dolphins were swimming by - we weren't close enough to take a photo but it was pretty cool to see them out there.

Below is a photo of our FOOD - we each ordered a dozen oysters - Rockefeller for me (spinach and parmesan) and Casino for Charlie (breadcrumbs and bacon). They were the best oysters I've had in a long time.

We also ordered an appetizer platter of crab, shrimp and shark bites that was awesome.

The waitress could not believe how much food we ate, and remarked she didn't think we could do it when we ordered all that food.

By the way - our lunch including drinks and tip was $55. ;-)

Guess I'll hit the road and run my errands.

By the way, since today is the 20th, today marks my 3 month anniversary of unemployment!

Cheers and applause, please. Have a nice Saturday, everyone!
