Adventure Logan

The week has been a busy one – but the biggest battle was with my sciatica – yuck! Dave managed three rounds of golf and I did some unpacking and cleaning but until today I was not able to do much. On Tuesday we did Senior Movie night and then Friday it was off to supper with Molly/George and Mary Evelyn/Gus. Saturday we attended an 80th birthday for a golfing pal of Dave’s. Thankfully my sciatic nerve was much better today so we spent the early afternoon cleaning out the lanai and getting things ready to use. Since we use it to store all the outdoor furniture and bikes, it takes some elbow grease to wash the floors and dust the furniture etc.

One of the interesting things we have noted here is the upswing in construction and fix ups. The theater we visit is in a strip mall that has had a major facelift. Across the street from our trailer is a large church campus that has been under construction since last winter. One of the new things which greeted us was the removal of a playground and many large live oak trees. So now when I look down the street I see a parking lot and lots of blue sky.

Finally just before dark we made a quick drive to see the new structure at Sharky’s. For those of you who have not visited here it is the only restaurant on the beach and a must for visitors. It too has been under construction and today I saw the nearly finished project. It will be interesting to see what will be available there but it most certainly is adding to the seating both inside and out. It should be finished by Christmas time. As long as they don’t change my favourite drink – the mango-bango – I will be happy.

The new part is the one on the left of the pier – not sure what if anything will change on the right-hand side where there is outside seating.

New structure from the main front parking lot.

These colourful chairs face the beach and the tables are surf boards – really neat new space for sure.

This upcoming week is Thanksgiving here so the main focus is on the Black Friday sales. We, however, are looking forward to getting some work done in the yard so that we can enjoy it.
