KRISTA’S BIRTHDAY!!!!

SATURDAY AUGUST 7TH

Happy birthday to our daughter, Krista!!

Today we explored St. Michaels. The homes can only be described as very  picturesque. Even the shops are.







St. Michaels is known as “the town that fooled that British”. During the War of 1812 a predawn attack by the British was planned. The locals caught wind of the plan. So the night before this was to happen, they hung lanterns in the tree tops and on the masts of ships. The British thinking they were firing on the town, overshot the town. Pretty clever!

We stopped at a fun, little bar called Carpenter Street Bar.








The bartender/comedian was a hoot. He had something to say to everyone who came in. Including us.

We did more wandering around and stopped  for some lunch.




















Got dimples??

Then your water is served in a nice glass with an ice cube.

Don’t got dimples??

Your water comes in a jar!

After lunch we walked down to the St. Michaels Winery. The winery is located in an old flourmill. In the lower portion where it was nice and cool is their tasting room.















The white room divider hanging behind us is an old sail.

As we left the winery, there was a party going on in the alley. A fun band, complete with harmonica and sax, was playing the Blues. 

















Check out this Roscoe sized chair!

Walking back to the boat we bought some fresh crab. We had picked up sweet corn earlier in the day at the Farmers Market. Mark cooked up some crab cakes and Deone fixed the corn.

It’s been a wonderful week and this was our last meal together.

We have heard it said that making good crab cakes is an art. Well Mark earned the title “crab man” on his first try with these cakes.


So, so good!!
