Last week was a busy week for cards but this week will be much quieter. It will mostly be spent getting Lloyd and all his stuff ready for his trip. The countdown has begun and he only has four more shifts left to work. When he comes home on Friday morning, he's officially finished! Then just the weekend and a couple of days and he's off, a week from this coming Wednesday. I know he's pretty excited about his upcoming trip. I think Monday or Tuesday will be spent transporting all of his stuff that's not going with him, out to Fort Augustus. That will give me more room and leave less to pack up when it comes time to move out to Wheatley River later in March.
We did manage to extend the holiday festivities one more week by attending a couple of events on Saturday. Our friends Charles and Laura postponed their New Years Levee till this past Saturday because of the storm on New Years Day. We went out there around 3:00 and spent a couple of hours socializing with a really diverse and interesting group of folks. We left reluctantly in time to go out to Mermaid to visit with our friends Jackie and Helena. Brenda and Bernie were there as well and so the eating and drinking continued. Jackie fishes Oysters and had some nice fresh ones on hand for us all to enjoy, and enjoy we did! Jackie really enjoys shucking oysters for guests and has provided us with his services on a couple of special occasions. This time it was just us and we took full advantage. Even Bernie got in on the action to try his hand at shucking.
Gee, lobster last week end and fresh oysters this weekend. Does it really get any better? I don't think so.
