Another dreary day. The rain continues off and on. Fog today also. Humidity is through the roof, or should I say on the roof, and the walls, and the floor... Visibility is limited.
Late morning we traveled back towards Foley and then south to Gulf Shores and Lulu's Restaurant. Lulu's is owned by Lucy "Lulu" Buffett, the sister of Jimmy Buffett. There are three Lulu's, one in Destin FL, one here in Gulf Shores AL, and a new one just opened in June at North Myrtle Beach NC. Lulu's claim to fame is her delicious seafood gumbo. The menu is primarily seafood but there are other choices as well.
We arrived and Lulu's was not busy at all. Mike "Coach" Horstman and his wife Cheryl were waiting for us. As I mentioned previously, I served with Mike in the Iowa Air National Guard in Des Moines. His wife worked at the Norwalk Medical Clinic Doreen and I used to use, so we had a lot of mutual acquaintances. We just ordered appetizers and some drinks and talked for a couple hours! I gave Mike one of my coins since he retired earlier in 2006 before I became Wing Command Chief in 2007. Great to catch up with comrades and friends!.
After lunch we headed back to the RV via the Gulf Shores highway and camped out the rest of the day. Doreen did some laundry. Today (31st) we will hit a grocery store in search for some corned beef brisket, which we marry up with cabbage and have every New Years. Years back my folks said it is "supposed to bring you money in the New Year". Well, we are still working that piece of it and holding out hope Ha Ha!!
