We’ve had a brilliant three days on vacation. The weather has been phenomenal. Warm enough but not hot. The breeze on the beach has kept flies at bay and provided us with some great body surfing opportunities. The only downer is the Thai place is closed for a few days. I had been looking forward to getting take-out from there but we’ve already decided we’ll stop by a Thai place in town when we get home. Not the same, but it will have to do.
We’ve eaten well: shrimp, hush puppies, bluefish with Vietnamese veggies for me (my mom is probably going to flip when she reads that I ordered bluefish), grouper with tomatoes and capers for the better-half, tuna and steak for the better-half and baked parmesan flounder for me. We’ve indulged in several Black Forest Strudels from the bakery as well as some muffins. The food, as always, has been outstanding.
The cats that normally infest this cottage are significantly less in numbers than in previous years. I don’t know if they’ve found a better crop of suckers or what. We feed them from the huge bag of food someone left in the cottage. Perhaps they are sick of the same old feed.
