Dumplings for Breakfast

Just got back from the local farmers market.  I invited a couple of the ladies here that do not have cars to get around to go with me.  Had to go today there is a lady there that makes homemade Chinese dumplings that melt in you mouth.  Guess what I had for breakfast?  Yummo! Not a conventional breakfast but nothing about cruising is conventional. Also went out to St. Helena Island to Barefoot farms and picked up a pound of fresh caught shrimp to cook for dinner tonight.  Shrimp season just started here so we can buy them pretty cheap.  We also have fresh fruits and vegetables readily available and locally grown.  I love the low country.
The other night we went to my friend Jude's house for Italian food. It was a wonderful evening with lots of wine and delicious food.  Jude entertained us with endless stories about growing up in an Italian family in Boston.  She has the full Boston accent and she is hysterical,we laughed for hours  I told here she should be a stand up comic.  Jude has two rescue dogs on was quiet and sweet the other would not come near us and barked the whole time we were there.  Oh well.
It has turned very hot and humid here now and it is hard to stay cool during the afternoon hours.  We usually find an excuse to go to the store or someplace in the truck to get into some air conditioning.  Guess is the price you pay for being in the south and it isn't even full out summer yet.  We plan on hauling the boat out sometime in July up in North Carolina to paint the bottom.  And work on the stuffing box.  That should be fun.  NOT!!!! Hope to see our friends in Carlyle and St. Louis very soon.  TTFN.
