Update!!! Linda found a quilt shop that overwhelmed her so much that she couldn't even find any material to buy. This is the place that holds that shop. It is advertized as a Pharmacy, which it is. Inside is a old town pharmacy, a appliance store, a "Michaels" type crafts etc, a little area for hardware and a HUGE, HUGE material shop. We walked around and around and there was just to much to pick from and I got a headache so I went outside while my quilting queen continued to wander aimlessly. She had her prescription filled while she shopped and when she came out she was empty handed, I was flabbergasted!!! a great place to visit. We stopped at another place that was advertized as a quilt shop and found out it was the factory where they make a special rotery cutter that she already had. the girl there was kind of pushy but showed us their new products and taught Linda how to make her existing cutter work easier. Was really worth the stop even though they didn't have much material. We then headed to Pensacola Beach. It is alot like South Pardre island in Texas. lots of beachy wear type shops and eatery's then condos and motels that tower over the dunes, then just a road with sand and beach on either side. We stopped so Linda could stick her feet into the water. then on our way back into the over developed area we stopped to watch some guys "kite surfing" a huge kite type parachute and a wake board. the wind was really strong and they were flying. Litterially flying. they would turn the chute and scream along parralell to the shore then go out from the beach into the waves and become airborne and I don't mean just jump the waves, they would be 30 or 40 feet into the air and we both wondered if they could get down and then they did something and came back down fast and into the water and back to travelling so fast along the shoreline. very fun, and Linda said that "she could do that" she took my line.
The Dock
The Dock ceiling fan, notice the sag in the blades
we then stopped at "THE DOCK" for lunch. It is right on the beach and quite the dive lounge. Not bad food and I am sure on a warm weekend nite it would be the hot place to be.
back to the campground and turn the heat on. cold predicted for tonite (might be a freeze) wind is almost as strong as on Port A beach last year.
Note from Linda. I plan on going back to that quilt shop tomorrow. I just had to check how much room was left in the camper for storage. After all, we are going to Paducah, KY, and I want to have space available for my purchases there!
ya right,RB
