I had a busy day yesterday. I did some chores around here and then headed out. I went to the Library and got a card and went to the Post Office. They are located right near each other. I dropped a soaker hose off at my niece's house which was across the street. Ted and I bought it for our Vineland home but we never put it in place. After that, I headed south for Dottie's place at Indian Acres. I took Danny for a little walk and then Dottie and I went out for lunch. We went to the quaint little town of Galena. It is located on the Sassafras River. We found a little Pizza restaurant and got the steak and onion stromboli special. It was delicious. After lunch, we walked around the little town. Unfortunately, the little shops were closed on Monday but we peeked in the windows. We went over to the Marina and looked out at all the yachts. We marveled at how all the people could afford them especially in this economy. It was a beautiful view. It took a couple photos and also of the lovely hibiscus they had in front of the ice cream store. (It too was closed).
When we got back to Indian Acres, one of Dottie's neighbors gave her a bag of crab legs. She had gone crabbing and got four bushels of crabs. She goes out on the Wye River which is further south. The place where she goes out cooks the crabs and I guess takes the legs off. I don't know what happens to the rest of the crab. Maybe the lady takes the crab meat out of them for crab cakes. We were over stuffed from lunch so we put them in the frig for later. We walked Danny around the camp ground and talked with Dottie's sister and her cousins. We walked further and looked at the sites that were for sale. People own the land at this campground. It is very inexpensive and some people live there year round.
The mosquitoes were bad so we had to sit indoors. We were talking the time away when I looked out at the sun and realized it was nearly sunset. I looked at the clock and it was 6:35. We got out the crab legs and spread newspapers on the table. Dottie got out the mallets and nut crackers. The fresh crabs came apart easily and the meat came right out. We enjoyed our feast. Danny had to settle for dog food. He didn't seem to complain. Maybe he didn't like the smell of them.
Before we started eating the crabs, I helped Dottie put her bicycle in her van. She found it in the trash bin area. It needs new tires but it will be a nice bike for her to ride either at Indian Acres or at her mobile home park in Delaware.
It was dark went I headed back to Chesapeake City. It is way out in the Boonies down here and there are no street lights. There are corn fields all along the roads and I hoped I turned in the correct direction. There was no sun to tell east from west and I couldn't see the North Star from the car. I guess I could have gotten out to get my bearings but I turned left and then right. Thankfully, I went the right way and found the highway. It is only a 20 minute ride but a dark and lonely one. The town of Cecilton has street lights but it is a tiny little town. We had an enjoyable day.
