Loverly times {Part 4 of 6}

Meet Dora. Isn't this smile contagious? When I first saw her I was instantly drawn to her friendly and open manner. She works at a wonderful little diner in Pensacola called "Charlies Eatery" that only serves the best fried chicken I've ever eaten. See that smile? That is how she looked when I told her that the fried chicken is wonderful! I asked her if she fried it. Her proud answer..."Oh, no. My brother fries it." I hope to see a lot more of Dora!!

I only wish the light had been better in the diner. She has a beautiful face, and this portrait doesn't do her justice.

Charlie's Eatery Where Dora spreads fried chicken magic


This was the cat that owned the front porch at Charlie's Eatery. So lazy and enjoying the afternoon sun.

After lunch we took a drive to East Hill...a sweet little neighborhood in Pensacola. Riding down one street we saw an estate sale. So, we stopped in.

Pensacola Bound? {Part 3 of 6}

We discovered that while we were there, they were having their 25th Annual Pensacola Crawfish Festival.

Home of the Cajun Turducken

This next was my favorite image from the festival. It is workers steaming the crawfish. They were so intense. And the steam was rolling from the pot.

“Let the poets cry themselves to sleep, and all their tearful words will turn back into steam.”

Pensacola Bound? {Part 4 of 6}

You need intestinal fortitude

There were loving couples, and those that perhaps were having a bad day.

"You shut up when I'm talking to you."
