The horror and unbelievable tragedy in Surfside, Florida is mind boggling! How could this have happened and praying 🙏🙏 for those trapped inside. Those images sure bring back the nightmare of 911.
Rain is coming our way.....we skedaddled (drove instead of walked) off to our favorite coffee spot here in Port Clinton "Coffee Express" since 1994. It was very busy but the crab/swiss quiche, cinnamon roll and morning glory muffin + our coffees were well worth the wait. It was really chilly inside, and cool/damp outdoors so we brought it all back to Catrina - have some leftovers, too.
This is the 3rd year I've posted on the blog a picture of this favorite...
2008, 2020 and 2021
Mark got a haircut this morning and I did some housekeeping on Catrina then got out a suitcase and started planning our little getaway (Sunday-Wednesday) to pick up Flo and Big Red.
Heard some awful news this morning - friends from Cypress Trail (full time RVers) from Montana were vacationing in Washington State and a fire totally destroyed their beautiful large, custom-made 5th Wheel. Chris and Tracey and their Great Dane (Aria) were thankfully not at home when this tragedy occurred. No other details and haven't been able to find a story online. Their home and all possessions were a total loss. When we settled at Cypress Trail 3 years ago, Chris, Tracey and Aria were among the first very friendly folks we met. They were always out and about walking Aria. Chris pulled their big rig with a shiny red semi tractor - they gave us a tour of their 5th wheel a few years ago and we were blown away! It was truly spectacular!
Very heavy rain started around 11:30 (the cats and dogs kind) but thankfully by 2, it had stopped (temporarily)
While Mark ran some errands (found a combination grocery/hardware store), I got a mani/pedi but Carrie was very slow and along with having to wait for 20 minutes, it still took almost 2 hours. Mark picked me up and we got back to Catrina before more rain.
Today we met two of the owners of Superior Marina who are from the Dayton area.....super nice friendly folks - Mike and Chris and Dennis and Terry. They are so happy to have us and we are very happy to be here.
I had brought some kielbasa sausage and wanted sauerkraut to go with it. When we were at Heinen's, they had "Cleveland" brand sauerkraut and at least 8 different kinds.....I chose "whiskey dill" which turned out to be delicious for tonight's supper.
Enjoy your weekend - sounds like a wet one across much of the Midwest.
