Day trippin'






We took a load of pictures and 2 parts of the infamous Christmas Island village to K and C's today for storage until we can close here and in Tarpon Springs on April 30th.

Every time we have traveled from Ft. Myers to Clearwater/Palm Harbor to visit the kids, passing over the 301 bridge, we've noticed a cute little restaurant right down on the river. People there always looked like they were having fun. You could hear the music if your windows were down, the wind blowing in the right direction and you used your imagination. It looked like the kind of place where people knew you, the food was yummy and the beer cold. In other words, it looked like one of the great dives that we love so dearly. For one reason or another, the timing was never right for us to stop so we promised ourselves today would be the day.

After picking up my goody bag (another blog and another picture) that Kip's got for me (Kip,darlin', you can be my personal shopper any day....loved everything so muchly...you know me too well!) and the animal cage she has loaned us for transporting of "the Boys", we did stop. Of course, with our luck, it was pouring down rain. We sat inside and still had a great time. We were right about the tasty food and the cold beer and the people there were so friendly and welcoming we felt like part of the family before we left. Loved it....we give a thumbs up to Woody's River Roo Bar and Grill!

Awe so sorry it was raining. But at least it was what you expected it to be. Sounds like you are getting in good shape for your move.

What I want to know is, is it close enough from your new digs to make a visit when your friends descend from the north (I'm thinking of a particular friend, namely me, but I realize that others are also eligible for this treasure that you've found!)?
Love you!
