Saturday ended up being a mostly chill day. It was drizzling so we walked up to the theater here in the plaza and saw the new Black Panther movie. For the matinee show popcorn cost more than the tickets.🍿 Shane and Brandie are big college football fans so later we met up with them to watch the Tennessee game. It was not going in their favor and Shane loves to wind Brandie up. Was really sure he’d be sleeping on the deck 😆.

Sunday was another chilly windy day. The harbor host here offered to give us a ride to the grocery store. So Heather, from Sea Clef, and I went and did our Thanksgiving shopping. I was of course in charge of mashed potatoes and made sure to get a generous amount. When we got back, Don was waiting up at Yo Ho Taco’s with Shane and Brandie watching the Bills game. I met them there and got to try some more of their unique and delicious tacos 😋🌮. The Bills also won which always makes for a good time! Later we went with Shandie, Moonshadow II, and Liming for dinner at Dick’s Last Resort. It is a Southern chain where they are less than polite to you. They also make you funny hats to wear with some silly saying on them.

The food was really good though. Don received a side of fries instead of the tater tots he asked for with his meal so they gave him an additional huge tray of tots! After dinner we went over to Moonshadow II and played games with John and Robin. We taught them Triominos and they showed us a new card game called Wizard. It turned out that it was the exact game Salty Dog taught us back in Canada, but with its own deck.

Monday it was finally nice and sunny out. I took Skia for a walk, passing some of the hugest pinecones I’ve ever seen…then Don and I then went up and got some ice cream from Kilwins. Apple pie and chocolate salted caramel with mini chocolate covered caramels right in the ice cream!🍦 Later that evening as we were watching shows, we noticed an odor in the cabin. It was cool out so we had the heat going and realized the heating pipe runs next to black water tank. Don checked and sure enough we were full. The heat was just wafting the smell in. Cursing ourselves for not checking when we moved spots, we’d have to deal with that first thing in the morning.

So Tuesday morning we had to untie everything and go over to the fuel dock for a pump out. On the way back we saw a dolphin playing in the water, so that was cool. We got back to our slip and set ourselves back up again. We were having Looping Thanksgiving dinner that night so I got the mashed potatoes going. Then we went over to Sea Clef for dinner with Off Leash as well. It was a proper Thanksgiving dinner, complete with insta pot turkey, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, green beans, cranberries, stuffing, rolls, apple and pumpkin pies.

It was quite the feast!

Wednesday was the perfect morning to make loaded tots for breakfast with Don’s extras from dinner. Don then went to get a haircut and I took Skia for a walk, collecting pine cones along the way (They do have an intended purpose). I then had to repair another part of the biminy where the stitches are failing. I seriously want to track down the original sewer and gut punch him 😡.

John and Robin had rented a car and picked us up to go to dinner at Lulu’s. It is Jimmy Buffett’s sisters place. I got a yummy peachy drink with a twisty straw and a delicious crab melt. Don really liked his jerk chicken sandwich too.

Thursday we just hung out, did some laundry, watched the quite stressful Bill’s game and enjoyed plenty of leftovers!
