MORE FROM THE CAPE

We're still having a great time down here. MA and Chun arrived about 5:00 on Saturday afternoon after an uneventful trip down. (Except in Dothan they got stuck in the Peanut Festival traffic.) I keep thinking I'll take a picture of the three of us and post it, but so far I've been too lazy.

We've had some good home cooked meals (by MA and BJ; I'm not into cooking on vacation). We've sunned and read books and talked a lot about old times. We have some good memories, I will say that.

Last night we went to our old favorite, Papa Joe's Oyster Bar in Appalachacola and it did not disappoint us. Their fried oysters were as good as ever. I even bought myself another one of their T shirts to sleep in. They are very soft and comfortable for wearing anytime.

Then we came back here and drove out to see some of the damage to the cape from the water surge from Ike. Even though Ike hit in Texas, the surge from it damaged both the road and some of the houses (including the condos where we were to stay). We could also look down the beach and see how close they are to said condos to pumping in more sand for the beach in front of them. We then bought some ice cream cones to finish off our meal.

This morning we went to Port St. Joe for breakfast at Sisters so MA and Chun could have that great experience. One of the owners is a Tennessee fan and one is a Florida State supporter, so I made sure to wear one of my many Gator shirts. I told Chun beforehand that the proprietor was for Tennessee and he said, "Don't tell her I am; I'm too embarassed this year."

We had a good breakfast and were back here in time for some good sunning on the deck. The wind was a little cool, but it felt good to me.

We're all getting brown as berries and soooo healthy looking!!
