Lunch at Lulu’s…
Lunch at Lulu's
Today, Jan and I had a late lunch at Lulu’s on Homeport. Lulu is her brother’s name for her. Her real name is Lucy Buffett.
And her brother is Jimmy Buffett, the singer/songwriter.
Lulu’s has become one of our favorite places at Gulf Shores. It’s on the Intercoastal Waterway or Canal that divides Gulf Shores from the mainland. Most people don’t realize that Gulf Shores is an island, but actually an artificial one, since the Canal is man-made.
Besides the great food, the view of the Canal is always entertaining. There was a pod of dolphins playing in between the boats passing by.

Just another day in paradise…
We’ve got satellite TV again…
Jan is ecstatic!
We’ve got satellite TV again.
The Direct TV receiver/DVR we had when we left TX last year died a few months later. I bought a new cheapy one at a pawn shop, but never set it up since we were heading to Alaska.
Alaska is so far north that you need a larger disk to pick up the satellites, plus where we were parked for 5 months in Fairbanks had a big mountain in the way.
Then when we got back to Houston, the park we were at on Dickinson Bayou was so windy, everyone’s dish kept getting blown over so I didn’t even try.
But it’s working now and Jan’s happy, and as you remember from a previous post, if Jan’s happy, yada, yada, yada.
In weather news, when we got up today it was foggy, and it stay pretty foggy all day.
Here’s how it looked out the front of our coach this morning.

With more to come tomorrow. Oh, boy!
