Taste of Pine Island and Cindy Walsh

Yesterday we ventured out to Pine Island for Taste of Pine Island. It was held on the baseball field at Phillips park. It was a nice little town fair with lots of vendors and several food vendors. Really enjoyed the three dollar margaritas! While there we got to listen to the Skeeterland Band, a great bluegrass band. Then we watched Dogfish with special guest, Cindy Walsh. The music was great! Cindy did her award-winning "Gimme Grouper, Gimme Grouper" and "The Road to Matlacha" - my two favorites. Cindy and Dogfish also did several covers which were great. The whole event is put on by the Pine Island Kiwanis and proceeds go to local charities and schools. This is an annual event and I highly recommend it. There's even things for kids to do, so it's fun for the whole family. Nothing like going to an outdoor neighborhood fair in January! Never did anything like this in Chicago!

The only criticism I have is that there should be more food lines available. I ended up getting a slice of pizza because the line for beef sandwiches was about 20 deep and I didn't want to wait that long. Other than that everything was perfect - even the weather.

Today, we took it easy. I did a little dock casting and caught nothing. But it was a great day nonetheless!

I read this somewhere: If life is a journey, this must be the destination! Absolutely!

Life is SOOOO GOOD!!!!
