Yesterday was a very full one and thoroughly enjoyable, starting with a park-wide garage sale. While shopping at a place on the main drag, I had several inquiries about the Vespa. No sale yet, but it was heartening just to see and hear all the interest.
Then Lynn and I scooted down to St. Armand's Key, which was crammed full of nice, expensive sports cars. We didn't stop, as we had to meet sister Barbara for a movie.
We saw the movie "The Descendants" and it is excellent! A very good story, very well written and well acted. George Clooney moved up a step or two with his performance. It's a tear jerker, so be prepared.
We dodged a rain shower on the way home, did a quick change of clothes, then headed to the bay for the Christmas lights boat parade. Wow! It was very cool! We didn't stay until the end so I don't know how many there were. Also, it took me a while to figure out how to take decent pics of the event. Next year I'll know better.
The bay side park was crowded with cheering people, making the atmosphere very festive. It was an enjoyable event and one I hope to repeat.
Finally, I'm enjoying a novel more than I have any in a while. It is titled "No Safe Place" by Richard North Patterson and published in 1998. It is about the presidential campaign of a man whose older brother was assassinated while campaigning for president. It is well written and the speeches on the issues are thoughtful and thought provoking. It is one of those books that is so good, I'm pacing myself to make it last longer. And the timing is good, with the current politicking that's going on.
It's off to the Sierra's for dinner this afternoon and we sure are looking forward to it. It'll be Lynn's first dining experience there and chef Luis' fine reputation precedes him, as always.
Thanks for stopping by!
