1239 March 15, 2025 Lemonade

I chose to take my walk in the campground this morning.  There were lots of rigs packing up and pulling out.  There were some empty spaces along the seawall and I inquired about moving but there are lots of new folks moving in today!  This is just the best place to spend the winter.

We took a bike ride before lunch on the Morton Road loop.  We passed a lemonade stand and had to stop and support the kids.  The little boy is trying to earn enough money for a new baseball bat.  It is $400.00.  He is doing lots of extra chores and today he was selling ice cold lemonade. 

This afternoon, we sat under a palm tree by the water; reading and watching the pelicans and a couple of sea turtles.

Yesterday, at the Farmers Market, we bought some chicken empanadas from Abu’s Argentinian Empanada stall.  We had them for dinner with greens and fresh papaya.  These empanadas did not pass muster.  We have had amazing empanadas in Baja from a tiny roadside stand.  An old woman and a little girl sold them to us and they were memorable.  Ines and David make amazing empanadas as well…we have been spoiled!

This evening, we went to sit by the water.  The sun was hiding behind clouds again this evening.  We sat and watched people fishing on the pier.  There were men cleaning fish at the station and there was a guy flying a drone.  Other guys were playing cornhole.  There were people drinking and chatting and we were relaxed and happy just to be present there in the midst of all of the busyness.
