Tue morning May 2. The last few days have been generally nice weather-wise and it has been fun to be with my brother.

Saturday we went to a German Festival fund raiser. They had a good turn out in spite of the weather, which brought in a thunder storm. We got in line for the sausages and had about a 20 minute wait to get to the window. They were worth the wait.

We went to the bake sale next, should have been first. The storm drove everyone inside and they all but bought out the bake sale. We did manage 4 cookies and some peanut clusters. A quiet afternoon followed - while the rain stopped, it was overcast and we were more comfortable inside watching the Mexican Open.

Sunday we went for a buffet meal at Saraceno's. This is a tiny place with excellent food and numerus choices. The desserts were wonderful as well. After the meal we drove down by the pier in Mobile Bay and walked the open air market that was going on for small businesses. They only allowed people to display what the made or produced themselves. Then a drive through some scenic country side and we returned late afternoon to see the final round of the Mexican Open. A nice sunshiny day had by all.

Monday we headed for Pensacola and the VA clinic as my brother had a checkup scheduled. We got into town early enough for lunch at McGuire's Irish Pub. I had a Shepard's pie that was so large I couldn't eat it all but was very good. Deb had a corned beef and pastrami sandwich. We then went shopping at the commissary for supplies for the week at the condo while my brother went for his checkup. A very pleasant day and mission accomplished. We move down to the condo Wed for a week.

Hopefully I will have a few photos of the condo for you when I write again Thursday morning.
