Actual: Last night I took my ipad and rocked in one of the rocking
chairs out on the porch for about 30 minutes before it got dark. It
was so nice out there! A few other people were out but nobody was
loud, and the pool trivia had long since ended. During Dec/Jan it’s
too cold to be out there much, so this was nice. SB was pretty much
asleep by then – I stayed up until around 9:30.
Chris & Amanda started cooking the eggs benedict, and I texted Pete &
Judy to come on over. Breakfast was excellent – and we all enjoyed
sitting around talking after we ate. I helped clean up the dishes,
along with Chris. Pete asked what time breakfast would be tomorrow,
lol!
Housekeeping showed up to do our trash & towel, but since we
are in the villa she could only take our towels (that we had to bring
to her) and drop off the big trash bag full of new towels & supplies.
It’s a covid thing.
Pete drove us to Poseidon, and
we were disappointed to see the Nauti Bar totally full. They sat on
a bench while I went inside to confirm the Rooftop Bar would be open
for happy hour. They confirmed, so we waited outside until 4 and
then went inside & went upstairs when they opened up.
It's much nicer up here – it’s not on the roof, but it’s the 2nd
story. The view from the outside tables is prettier. We really
liked it! We ordered drinks then perused the menus. I stuck with
the pimento cheese since that’s why I come here. It was outstanding.
Pete got some type of oyster appetizer and Judy got the appetizer
beef sliders. I’ve had those before and they’re excellent! SB went
with a big meal – stuffed shrimp, shrimp, scallops and ritz cracker
crusted cod, along with rice and veggies. He loved his – said it was
all great. I texted Holli a couple pictures, since she loves
Poseidon. She agreed the Rooftop looked great!
SB called his friend Scott,
who is in the ICU with covid. I was happy to learn Scott wasn’t one
of those fools who are against the vaccine (I didn’t really think he
was). He was due to start his vaccines when his wife brought covid
home from work. He’s recently retired law enforcement, in excellent
shape – no medical issues, not obese, never smoked in his life, runs marathons, etc. His wife did fine – he’s been in the ICU for a week
and they’re telling him he’ll probably be there 30+ days. He is
afraid he won’t make it – and he may be right, but hopefully not. They’ve talked about a ventilator, but he’s resisting.
The others were back by 6:30, and their dinner was outstanding.
Evidently it’s an upscale Mexican place – not tacos and nachos.
We returned the last movie and I answered the trivia question at the Mercantile. It used to be if you got it right you got a Hershey’s miniature, but we all know how those spread covid so they don’t do
that right now. Instead, you’re entered into a drawing if you get the answer right, and they bring you a gift bag with a magnet & some
Hershey’s miniatures in a covid-resistant plastic bag. Amanda won a
couple days ago.
San Miguel’s had a couple of
musicians/singers performing outside San Miguel’s to a packed crowd.
It would be so great to be sitting there over drinks listening to the
music in this great weather! Ari thought one of the performers
looked like Grandpa Floyd, but it wasn’t him <g>. The real Grandpa
Floyd was laying on the bed watching the Twins’ game.
By now it was almost 8:30, and it was getting dark outside. Hard to
believe we were in bed by 6:30 last night, lol. Ari is wide awake,
thanks to his 3+ hour nap! SB is engrossed in the ballgame. Amanda
came out to the porch to see if Ari was ready for bed – clearly the
answer was not yet.
