Spring is Definitly Here

Spring is here and going by to quickly. Gilly the Gator is back! Everyday he is out sunning himself in our backyard. I would get closer but I am a chicken


Spring is the big time for special events for the Island Recreation Association, where I work. Wingfest is the start where 17 different local Hilton Head restaurants cook up their best chicken wings. It is a fun but very long day. Then came Heritage where Stuart worked many hours to make the course look the best it has ever been. Of course the other guys helped too. I worked our food booth on hole 15 of Harbour Town. If you didn't know the Heritage lets non-profits run the food booths on the course and all the profits go to that charity. The next weekend we held the Hilton Head Seafood Fest. It was the first year and went great! We had 13 different restaurants and an Iron Chef competition.

By this time our house looks like a mess, we have no food, and a pile of laundry you would not believe. Though, we still make time for a little fun. Stuart's friend Old buddy Ben set up a slow pitch softball game. Stuart's team had many strong athletic men who did not have a clue to the rules of softball. The opposing team were young boys who live, breath, and eat baseball. It was a very fun game to watch. I was the official score keeper. The other team won 17-10 but Stuart's team sure held their own. All in all it has been a good spring and we are looking forward to the summer!
