Learning new things and having fun


Two ships passing in the "light".  Sorry, couldn't resist when I saw these two shrimper boats passing.  I had to take the picture just for that statement "two ships passing in the night".

We walk about 5 miles a day six days a week and take Sunday off.  Usually, we don't see another soul on the beach except maybe Norris who goes out every day on his tractor and rakes the beach and makes it look really nice.  We've talked to him a few times and he's a very nice man with that great Louisiana Cajun accent.

Last night about 14 of us had a shrimp boil.  It was so much fun.  Mike and I learned a lot.  We could do it ourselves now.  The food was delicious and we helped.  I learned to de-vein shrimp and Mike was in charge of the boiling pot and getting the food stuffs added in.  We had karaoke afterwards which was lots of fun.  We were still able to get back home before 9:00.  Of course, we only had to walk a few steps. 
 
We have met some great people here:  Nancy and Rob, Brenda and Jerry, Susan and Paul, Lanny and Tonya, Carol and her husband (can't remember his name), Delight and the owner LannyThis is Delight doing karaoke.  You can see our motorhome beside our jeep in the far right of picture.  So you see, we weren't far away at all. 
 

 
Melanna de-veining shrimp.  Delight showed me how to do it right.  Weird, it's the first time, I've ever ripped the head off anything.  I enjoyed learning how to do it right. 
 
Anyway, a good night was had by all.
