Busy Beach

The local festival, Art walk & gumbo cook-off was last Saturday. Parking was at a premium in our little town and the cars lining the roads displayed license plates from almost every northern state and Canada. I understand it is hard to get far enough south this year.

It is easy to spot the tourists on the beach. Tourists frolic in shorts and wade in the surf with big grins. Locals are bundled and well above the high water mark. We admit to being tropical weenies. We bemoan the cool winter weather while sitting on the porch, libation in hand, catching the last afternoon rays.

What car were you expecting from an artist?

I did buy De Anne some earrings - thus supporting the local economy.
