- - - - - Timing Is Everything - - - - -
We had a sleep-over last night. One of Eldest Daughter's friends on the softball team (9 and 10 year-olds) came over. Many giggles, watched Freaky Friday, Ooo and Aaaah at a big-time thunderstorm. Finally got 'em all in bed at about midnight. At midnight-plus-ten-minutes, was absolute silence.
Today we went to the Fernandina Beach Shrimp Festival. Mrs. OWW had a shrimp pie with all kinds of Stuff in it, and OWW had a sausage (I don't do seafood. I just don't like the stuff.) We also had a "blooming onion" - chock full of cholesterol and all the other stuff that's bad for you. The girls had hot dogs, and got their faces painted, and got a couple of blow-up toys.
The Shrimp Fest was enormous - downtown Fernandina Beach, FL, was closed down. Vendors of all kinds, including a few folks who were selling old junk. I almost got a boxed, gimbaled marine compass in a brass binnacle from the 1930's. If he'd wanted less than $200 (a LOT less), I would have mounted it on the back deck, with lighting.
Now, for the steaks I'm going to burn on the Weber....
