Friday, January 28, 2011:

Still not sure what they are doing in the tent next door.  They’ve laid what appears to be a floor now – on top of cinder blocks. ??? The “floor” seems to take up almost the entire tent area …so I’m anxious to see what it is! Maybe a pageant? A revival? …oh boy!  

Gerald went fishing for a little bit today.  He didn’t catch anything … except for sea grass. He was using cooked shrimp for bait that he picked up at the grocery store.  I guess I can always eat what he doesn’t use! =)

We decided to order a pizza and a salad for dinner tonight from Smugglers Cove next door.  The website says the pizzas are hand tossed so they sound great. (http://www.smugglerscovevi.com) Gerald called ahead, but they don’t start making pizzas until 5pm, so he went ahead and put our order in for a pepperoni pizza and Caesar salad for pick up as soon as we can.  They told us it would be ready at 5:45, so Gerald went and picked it up.  The salad was good and the pizza was even better! They hand toss the crust, use a homemade sauce, layer the ingredients (sauce, pepperoni, cheese, pepperoni) and then when it comes out of the oven, they brush the edge of the pizza with garlic butter! YUM!  It was SO good! Not too thick…not too thin and was just delicious! Can’t wait to have leftovers tomorrow!

They try to have music at Smugglers Cove every weekend, and tonight they have some scheduled. Gerald went over to check it out.  He said it was a girl singing to a karaka machine, and she was ok.  He saw and talked to one of our neighbors there.  He said the place was pretty crowded though…lots of elderly people enjoying themselves.  I think the Mill Harbor complex has lots of elderly people who reside there – which makes up the majority of the crowds at Smugglers Cove.

Well, that’s it for today anyway. I’ll keep you posted on the progress of the tent! =)
