Saturday, Orange Beach

Whoooohooooo.  Slept in til 8 a.m. and woke up to blue skies and bright sunshine.  What a beautiful day.  But cold, cold, cold...especially out on our balcony. 

I cooked bacon, eggs and toast for five of us; the others had Krispie Kremes.  It was good and easy and nice to sit around-again.  Around 10:30, I just felt like the sun was wasting away, so I got on my suit and "stuff" and headed down to the beach.  They bet me 20 minutes and I'd be back.  Well....that determined me!!  So I left and stayed.

I headed to a beach chaise ...it was nice..sun was warm, but the wind was coolish.  I had just sat down and sand was blown all over me.  Stayed about 5 minutes and headed back to the pool area where it's protected by the condo...SO much better.  No wind and the sun was great.  I looked at the trees and knew where to go....and not to go.

No Wind

I sat and read.  Finally, Sue joined me about 11:45, then Sharon.  We visited and roasted a bit then Sue and Sharon left and I stayed a little longer. 

We all ate a bite for lunch.  Wanda and Norma headed to the grocery store for MORE food...we sorta buy as we eat.  Then Sharon and Charlotte went down; then I went down and Helen and Norma stayed in the condo and read.  We were just up and down at odd times...to each his own schedule. 

We noticed down by the "Lazy River" pool area where we were that the majority of people here are women.  Lots and lots of groups of women having fun, fun, fun.  Music playing, dancing....lots of women having fun. Two men were brave enough to be in that area!  Must be ladies weekend.  We got someone to video us having fun....see if you can pick out who's who.

There are three weddings set up on the beach down below.  We saw one earlier and there's another one going on now.  This one has a tarp set up with food tables and all the trimmings....Looks like a festive occasion.   Not sure when the other one will be.  Sounds like they are partying...maybe all night??? 


Around 3:30, we all started getting ready to go out to eat....Tonight was Cosmos.

It was good and our waiter, Mikey, took very good care of us.  There were fried platters, grilled

shrimp over ricotta, shrimp poboys....good stuff.  Stuffed ourselves into the car and waddled back into the room and will be making brownies with Millenium Moo Ice Cream and/or Key Lime Pie.  We won't get on the scales for a month when we get home.
