Stormy weather with Stevie Ray Vaughn

Posted on July 30, 2015 by fundinmental

These shots and video were taken by Mr Wonderful and me over the last several days.

Thursday – The clouds rolled in and I mean that literally. I have been watching the skies since Thursday, when the crackling boom of thunder surrounded the house and I opened the front door to investigate. Funny how the bad weather is out front and the sun shines on the pool and patio. *all photos not to be used without permission*

Friday – We had an itch to visit the beach and had to scratch it. We hadn’t been to Hooters for a while, so a wing call was in order. Hooters is on Pensacola Bay, with a view of the piers for boats and, of course, our signature white, sandy beach. It is a great place to people watch, especially as this storm rolls in. I can certainly see why we are the lightning capital and so many people are struck by lightning. Check out the video and you will see why for yourself.

Actually, I can’t remember if me or Mr Wonderful took this, but I am think three strikes and we may be out.

Hubby took this from a video. It looks like someone opened up a portal in the sky and said, “Hey you dumbasses, get off the beach.”

Saturday – Mr Wonderful was working the Pensacola Wahoos baseball game, but the starting time was delayed. As the cloud rolls in, the tarp rolls out.

This is just your typical Florida weather.

What’s the weather like in your neck of the woods?

Tall ship, Juan Sebastián deElcano, Arrives

Posted on May 27, 2015 by fundinmental

Tall ship, Juan Sebastián deElcano, arrived in Pensacola today.

We didn’t have the best weather on the beach, but, as my hubby says, “It never rains on the Funman,” and we were able to get these pics before the rain came.

Pensacola is knows for its Spanish history and we are delighted that the Juan Sebastian deElcano came to visit.

For all you Parrotheads out there, shuck your flip flops, put your toes in the sand, and let’s join Jimmy Buffett for some fun in the sun on the Gulf Coast.

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of adailyrhythm.

(make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!) Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

~~~~~~

With the summer reading season approaching, what could speak more than a Jimmy Buffett book. So pull up a chair, grab your margarita and let’s travel the country, by land and by sea, with the talented Jimmy Buffett.

TALES FROM MARGARITAVILLE by Jimmy Buffett

MY TEASE

From The Swamp Creature Let One In

“What do the golf gods say about this sonofabitchin’ hole today, Willet?”

Willett took the toothpick out of his mouth. “There ain’t no golf god rules on this hole, Balls. This here’s the Swamp Creature’s territory.”
.
(page 113 of paperback)

SYNOPSIS

Margaritaville may not appear on a map, but it does exist–at least in the brilliantly creative, sometimes slightly skewed imagination of Jimmy Buffett. Tales from Margaritaville is a collection of short stories (some purely fiction, some based in truth) so vividly packed with restless dreamers, wild wanderers, and pure gypsy souls that just reading it is a wild adventure. Travel along with a cowboy named Tully Mars, as he heads from Heartache, Wyoming, to Graceland, and relive the autobiographical odyssey of a third-generation sailor and first-rate musical outlaw. With unforgettable stories that present the true roamer’s twin loves–the sea and the road–Tales from Margaritaville is one “smooth sailing book of infinite imagination” (Chicago Sun-Times).
