Another Big day in Paradise...Started out slow with we attending the 9 am service on Marco at the Methodist Church...Randy gave a good message but the church was only maybe 30% full...But Randy did good as good Randy always does....But I left my Bible in the pew...So after we breakfast at Porky's we went back thinking the 10.30 would be over...It had just ended and the full to capacity crowd were on their feet giving Randy a standing ovation...So while waiting for the crowd to leave I asked Randy's wife Patty if she needed help selling Randy's Book he wrote, "What a Life"...She said yes so I did that for a few minutes maybe peddling at least 20 some books on my own or more...About that time someone yelled out is Jack Lahrman here?...I said yes and my Bible was then delivered to me...did not even have to look for it...you see know one steals a Bible...never
First off we visited the Million Dollar Motor Home show at Pelican Lake RV park next door..Heard there was some over 2 million dollar coaches there so just had to see..They are nice no doubt about it but golly, when its all said and done Marble scuptured counter tops and a testosterone shower just maybe are not worth an extra 1.7 million or so...even adding in a for real home refrigerator and stack washer and dryer, the desire for me is just not even close...Don't have anywhere near that kind of money but even if I had I would have to put it to other uses better than "fluff and foo foo's".....exit Pelican Lake and move on....
After that took Lucas to the Mullet Festival at the south end of Marco Island...A crazy place called "Stans" where each Sunday people dance and drink and set in the sun and watch crazy's do crazy things....This was no exception..check out Lucas's blog for a picture of him with one of those crazy women dressed like a Buzzard...click here for Luke's fine blog
You see at the annual mullet festival at Crazy Stan's outdoor bar crazy women dress as buzzards and do a dance called the "buzzard lope"...That is supposed to be an immitation of the dance a buzzard does around a freshly found road kill before he eats it....I know it sounds pretty crazy but it all seems to make sense at Stan's place....
Well anyway Lucas was not impressed at all with all that drunking goings on so we left and headed to our last destination for the day...The famed "Tiger Tail Beach"...where you can almost walk your butt off just getting to the end of the tail out there in the ocean...We finally made it and turned around and headed back..My knee was starting to talk to me a just a bit, but I made it back...And just as we got back to the area to leave the beach the big red ball in the sky came to rest right on the edge of the far western sky...It was fabulous maybe Luke will post that also, but it was a beautiful sunset and end to another great day in Paradise...
A steak, baked sweet tater and corn on the cob set us up for doing our double barreled blogs for the day...enjoy....
