Saturday night, my friend Ardys from the Writers' Workshop and I decided to go to dinner in Oak Bluffs. We planned on Zapotec, but they were closed for the season. We walked around town, noting each restaurant's potential and menu before deciding on Sharkie's for Mexican food. We had a Black Cherry Mojito with our toasty tortilla chips and homemade salsa and guacamole. Dinner was a burrito for each of us, and we talked and listened to the lively music. (I've found out recently that my town, Vineyard Haven, is a dry town which explains why it's much quieter at night here.) After dinner, we walked Oak Bluffs some more when we came upon the local arcade. I taught Ardys how to beat me 6 out of 6 games at air hockey (!!), and then we tried our hand at pool. I was just as bad as ever, but Ardys made some pretty impressive shots. When we sunk the 8 ball early in the second game, we used the rest of the time to practice and actually made some improvement in our shots. It was a great night, except for the fact that I had to say good-bye to her since she had to head back home to New Hampshire today. We plan to see each other again.
Today my friend Jody visited me! We talked and walked and took beautiful photos. Then we ate at The Black Dog Tavern and walked and talked some more. I've missed her terribly and it was so great to catch up. Friends...what would life be like without them? Speaking of friends, Laurie will be visiting for a week two weeks from now. That will be so much fun. Can't wait!!
