Road Kill Cafe & Baldwin Co museum

After Judy & Zola finished water aerobics we all went to the Road Kill Cafe for their lunch buffet. They are open from 11am to 1pm Monday through Friday and what you get is what's on the buffet today. It was good. We then went to the Baldwin County Museum which was OK but they had a traveling display from the USS Republic, a side wheel boat sunk by a hurricane just after the Civil War, or as it's called locally, the War of Northern Aggression. The display and videos were very interesting, especially the recovery of a few hundred million dollars of gold coins. I wasn't allowed to take any USS Republic pictures but do you like the goat wagon?

It's been cold the last two days, 50s daytime and 30 at night but it'll be a lot warmer starting tomorrow.

Boomtown; Hello Ron & Nancy; Bye Ray & Barb

Well, what have we been up to the last week? The usual...some water aerobics, Curves, euchre (only doing so so), poker (doing real good), the super bowl and such. No painting class this week due to floor painting in the pavilon.

There was a going away party in the pavilion for Ray & Barb who left Monday for California. It also gave us an excuse to have a couple drinks to warm up for the super bowl. Hey Ray & Barb....where are you two now?

We had a call from Brooklyn friends Ron and Nancy (Nancy just retired) who were on their way to Florida via Gulf Shores. We had a great visit with them and got together with Don & Zola and Sue Salt for a seafood dinner at DeSoto's.

Today we joined a large group from the park for a 2 hour bus ride to Biloxi, MS and a casino called Boomtown. It cost us $20 and we got that much in free play money and a very large and good buffet lunch. Next to Boomtown was a large fleet of fishing (or shrimp?) boats. OK, how'd we do? After expenses I won $25 on the poker machines and Judy did real good and won $120 on the slots. I had a good time except for a long bus ride with zero legroom. Now, if Judy can do this daily (winning only took her about an hour) we'd start setting up home at more casinos.
