Yesterday, we went to Magnolia Springs to a lovely little church we had found the week before - it was a wonderful service with lots of singing and everyone being so welcoming. They were having a church breakfast after the service but we had already made reservations to go to our now favorite place - SHIPPS HARBOR PLACE in Orange Beach - hidden away behind a marina, the menu is extensive, and so far we've tried 9 different items and each has been a taste delight. For instance, we couldn't understand the very subtle flavor in cole slaw (that's right - bragging about cole slaw) and asked the waiter. He told us the 'secret' to the recipe was - are you ready? Blue Cheese. The difference was astounding. Normally that's one dish where you leave most of it but not so here. Scrapped the bottom of the dish.
A little shopping then got us back to the condo where the sun was bright and temps were a very mild 75 with a slight breeze.
Unfortunately, we're both stuck with spring colds so the best we could do was a dip in the pool and some time in the jacuzzi to try to break it up. It will go away this week but it certainly can put a damper on doing lots of stuff.
Another Mardi Gras parade tonight - then the biggy tomorrow will wrap up the festivities and move us into Lent season for a long time. With all the parades here, seems that folks need a break after all the parades and partying.
More parade photos tomorrow
