The group that rescues greyhounds when their racing days are over and before they are put down spend a weekend here with their beautiful dogs. There are parades on the streets and on the beaches. About 40 owners will be celebrating at the restaurant this evening (sans hounds, of course), which has become an annual event for the past few years. They're dedicated animal lovers and deserve our blessings and a big "thank you" for their efforts.
Another annual event is "Women's Weekend" which consists of food, fun, workshops and entertainment all around town. I was told by attendees today that this year is the best attended yet.
This is where the margaritas come in. Following a brutal day of fun, interesting workshops and meeting other women many gals flocked to the restaurant to enjoy pitchers of margaritas at special prices. When I left they were still coming in. Tomorrow there will be a brunch at nearby restaurant, followed by a special Happy Hour with us.
The weather was cooperative, if a little cool and windy at least the sun was out. The restaurant is totally booked for tonight and there are reservations for tomorrow's lunch. I will be busy. Feelin' good!
I must admit I am a tired big cat this evening. A shower, a festive martini followed by a light supper are the only items on my gay agenda this evening.
Hope your weekend is a fine one, as well.
And so it goes.

try this - put chopped cucumber and chopped jalapeno in your margarita - the 'hot and cool' combination is actually lovely.
ReplyDeleteWasn't it just a glorious day? What a difference from the brutal winter that we endured. The trees are starting to bud and everything is green, green, green. You can still see the damage left by the winter storms but the land is slowly healing. Perhaps the only downside is that you know we're going to get a load of mosquitoes this year. In the meantime, enjoy!
