The weather has finally turned (for the good) here on the Panhandle, and we have been enjoying balmy temps and sunshine. Just in time for the big parade celebrating veterans in Carrabelle on Saturday.
Below, some photos of what we have been up to.
 |
| The RVers work on a structure that will transform the park's golf cart into a mini RV, to be part of the Carrabelle parade. A separate trailer is our "float" (to be pulled by a truck) and is decked out in patriotic colors and palm trees -- photos of that to come after the parade. |
 |
| Our terrific activities coordinator, Ruth. She does a GREAT job providing things for us all to do here in the land of nothing to do. |
 |
| Kay and Ruth working on the golf cart enclosure. |
 |
| Beau painted the stars and red swirlies. I helped with the lettering on the back and painted the ladder and palm tree. What artists, yes? Hmmm, it does look a bit like a Wonder Bread truck.... |
 |
| Beau adds some finishing touches to the stars on the back. |
 |
| Dan will be driving the cart in the parade. Here he practices getting in -- rather an awkward entry. |
 |
| Almost finished! |
On Wednesday, we went to St. George Island with Ruth and her husband Carl, to get oysters at Eddy Teach's, a local joint that sells a dozen on the half shell for $4.99 from 3:30-4:30 -- Oyster "Happy Hour." Beau thoroughly enjoyed his two dozen. I watched him eat and stole his saltines.
Exciting, huh?
 |
| Enjoying the wonderful weather and oysters at Eddy Teach's bar with Ruth and Carl, a great couple we met at the RV resort. |
A very good singer provided entertainment at Eddy Teach's outdoor bandstand, which sports a sign saying: "Keeping the Locals Drunk Since 2006." (The place looks like it's been around since 1896, but whatever.)
 |
| A bad photo of the two-man band. The sun shone right into the camera, so the pic is tough to make out. |
 |
| Beau, Buddy, and Carl with buxom "Doreen" at Eddy Teach's. |
 |
| Beau shown on another sunny day, on the spectacular beach of St.George Island. |
As I noted, I will post photos of the parade later in the week. OH GREAT JOY! I am sure you will be on pins and needles till then.
Ah yes, the excitement never stops here at the old RV park.
Tanks, Panky
