My Little CrockPot of News and Thoughts

. Back from Vacation: "Something I Saw at the Beach" ... Had a great time on vacation! The beach was wonderful and the company even better. We traveled to Dauphin Island, located on the Alabama Coast, just a ways from Mobile. The water was a bit rough for the first few days we were there... that was because of a hurricane brewing in the Gulf. We thought we were gonna get smacked by Hurricane Bonnie, but she turned sending only a huge storm our way. After the storm passed, all was well. The water calmed and the temperature dropped. It was really pleasant. While we were there, my brother, Amanda, and myself, paid a visit to the Civil War fort, Ft. Gaines. Being a fan of History, I really enjoyed the visit. We were able to walk around and see how soldiers lived while they were there... I imagine many died from heat stroke seeing as how shade was rare and a breeze even rarer. ... Last night, I was able to finally talk to Lili Chin online. We had a conversation about BBQ. It was nice to finally get the chance to talk to her outside of blog message boards. Congrats to her and Eddie on their Jive Turkey Experience pitch. Hopefully all will go well and we'll all be able to enjoy The Experience in our own homes. Nice talking to you Lili!
