Feelin' Crabby.

Literally. We cooked up some lovely pinky toes (which are a type of crab - apparently the tastiest) with some beers and watched the sun set.







While Lobsterman lost at yet another scratch ticket. Sigh.

A Glimpse.

This coming weekend is LungFest - a fantastic music fest that lasts all day. My Lobsterman will be singing and playing along with many other amazingly talented and cool people. Plus my best friend will be here. Since the countdown has begun it's been nonstop music and impromptu jam sessions in the house, like the one I caught here. I thought I was being sneaky but evidently they caught on.



(And please excuse the mess!)

Serving.

One of the many jobs I have on the island is waitressing here. The restaurant overlooks the water and you have to walk through a boat yard to get to it. It's the most popular restaurant on the island which means I make good tips every night. Which is probably why I've been there so often. My favorite meal is the surf and turf but my favorite order to take is popcorn shrimp because I like yelling "POP SHRIMP!" in the kitchen.

Sunsets.

I've seen a lot here - but I just can't get over them.

On A Skiff.

Over the weekend Lobsterman and I went on a dinner cruise around the island on his Grandfather's old skiff. He had found a motor to use for it but I think we were only going about 5 m.p.h. It was nice to be at sea though our boat did feel a little puny compared to all the anchored summer people's fancy boats. I've never been a "boat" person (though oddly enough I've always had an attraction towards top siders) but it is now one of my favorite summer activities.

Getting the skiff up and running...(which took half the day)



I waited very patiently with provisions...



And finally - set adrift...

Hauling Season!

Lobsterman is officially out to sea - hauling up traps and catching lots of lobbys! I heard a scary scrambling in our refridgerator the other morning and when I opened the produce drawer, two LIVE lobsters were inside. Needless to say they did not receive names since they were gobbled up for dinner that night.

I Lied A Little.

Okay so I did take ONE little break to pick some wildflowers and drop off at the community center (people do things like that here). But how can I not share the wealth when pretty flowers like this grow naturally in my own yard? Alright - back to work.
