A WEEK IN PENSACOLA, FL

Hope that you had a wonderful family Memorial weekend.  We spent ours here in air conditioning as we did not want to battle the crowd at the beaches, especially in the heat.  But I did fix our favorite picnic foods!!!
Our next door neighbors had a neat deck. 

Think that I might enjoy one of those, but would need an awning.  We are thinking that we need to roll up our awning today though, as the rains and storms are rolling in by tonight.
Most of the time we are doing the usual, getting mail and prescriptions, doing laundry and shopping.
I had Gary get my sewing machine out from in the underbelly (basement to you),  After shopping at JoAnn's, I got busy and made a new toaster cover and added a cover for our small crockpot, as well as a cover for a basket sitting on the counter and a soap bottle apron.  All finished, though not my best work, I am considering it done.  After replacing the needle because of all of the thick stuff, it is ready to go back in the underbelly.  I get tired of the mess around when things are not in their place.  I guess that is because of such close quarters.
We have stopped in a few thrift stores, but have refrained from buying.  We've got enough STUFF!  We also drove over to  Crestview to go to another bookstore, but forgot to look for Victor's books.  Maybe we will have to make another trip  over there. After the book store, we stopped in Milton at David's Catfish House.  I think that I like the food better at this David's.  It was a great fish lunch.  They have the best slaw!!  I remember buying it by the pint there before. 
It made me sad to realize that we were so close to my oldest brother's home, since he is not there any more.   But he is doing well in Chicago near some of his family. I am so thankful for that!!  He loves being around his grand-daughters.

On a drive-about day, we stopped in at Hawsey's Books here in Pensacola.  Vic, we did ask for your books there, but they did not have them.  I think that we got away with just a dozen books.  We need to get through more of our supply!! 
Gary was disappointed the other day after going to a Hardee's for a Cruise-In.  There was no classic cars!!   Must have been the wrong date or the wrong place. 
Saturday we got up early and went to Pensacola's Saturday's Market on the Square.  It was good, and some good food.  We really had to restrain ourselves.  We left there and Gary just drove around the Bay area where we enjoyed the homes and scenery.  Enjoy the pics!


Love the gardens in the cities.

Minor league baseball stadium.

Interesting sign!

Crowded Bay Marina.

Looking across the Bay.

Hm-m-m, security needed?

Golf Course near the Bay.

The Bay is just down behind this great house.

The Bay is just down behind this great house also.

It all looks like a neat area for living.  But it is also very close to historic Pensacola.  So there was much to look at. 
We will need to think of more interesting area for this week.  Take care and more pictures soon.
