Wingfest 09

It has been a very busy month. St. Patrick's day was fun on Hilton Head. I worked a concession booth for the Rec. during the parade. Afterward Stuart, Wayne and I went down to Wild Wings Cafe to meet up with some friends to celebrate.

Then came Wingfest which is the Rec's biggest special event. We gather local restaurants on Hilton Head to cook there best wings for the patrons to judge. The whole staff spent a lot of time getting it together. It is a very long and busy day. Everyone loved it and we had no complaints which is a pat on the back to us because 5,000 people came through our gates. I put together a little video of what goes on.

Lately, I have been trying to get some spring cleaning done. Even though it does not feel like spring. Going through the closet and sprucing up the house. The pollen is insane right now. After a few minutes of the windows being open everything is covered in a layer of yellow. So, all is fun in our house.

Gator

This past Sunday, March 1, 2009 at the Home and Garden Show I had my first up close and personal encounter with a South Carolina Gator. You all know about "Gilly the Gator" in our backyard but I would never get this close to him. The top picture he could have turned around and got me, but I was assured he couldn't as long as I held his neck and jaw. He then started hissing and that freaked me out a bit. It was neat getting to hold him and as you can see we became fast friends. As long as his mouth was taped shut.
