Memorial Day at The Crab Trap, a fine mist falling on Pensacola Bay, the table is covered in water droplets. The fuel barge seen above maneuvers to dock so I'll have gas for my car.
Farther out on the Intracoastal Waterway a coal barge heads to the Crist Plant so I'll have electricity.
Finally, the gumbo, the crab cakes with the remoulade sauce, the blackened amberjack, and all the trimmings arrive to fuel us.
Today is our 31st Wedding Anniversary.
We're leaving in a little while to go to a little BBQ joint we know...

Happy 31st anniversary. A lifer! good for you.
Can you put that in a doggie bag for me?
Happy Anniversay. Liked your commentary.
First, congratulations on your anniversary. Long marriages like yours have become an accomplishment. It says something about the kind of people you and your husband are.
Second, this is a really nice mini-story and series of photos. I just finished dinner but now I want to fly down to the Gulf and eat some more.
A happy surprise ending to your commentary. Congrats.
Bon Appétit.......;)
Oooh that food looks so yummy! Lovely photos and I enjoyed the story behind them. A very happy 31st wedding anniversay to you! (and to your hubby!) Hope you both had a most wonderful time celebrating the special occassion. xo
Happy 31st. We had ours in April. I love the world you are surrounded by. How I need to live near water. I miss it terrible. Sometimes I feel just like Sarah Wheaton.
Thanks for all the best wishes. We're not really sure how we made it this far, mostly we just kept our heads down and just slogged through it all! We did celebrate by having what is quite possibly the best BBQ I've ever eaten and I also count that as one of my lifetime achievements.
Happy Anniversary! The photos are wonderful!
Happy Anniversary to you and your husband.
and I wish you many more romantic dinners..
The simplest places are often the best!!
I'm toasting you with my cup of coffee.
Clever post! Lovely views from that restaurant and yummy-looking food too.
Happy Anniversary to you and your husband, PJ. Wishing you both joy and blessings on this special day. Have a wonderful dinner! :)
Crab cakes and a few Tabasco drops! My mouth is watering now! :-)
Happy Anniversary! 31 years, quite a milestone and an example to us all. Hope you have a wonderful date.
Wonderful accomplishment! Hope you had a super time...I know you had good vittles!
That thing about Crist. You know I just knew he was a plant! Boy, "they" really snuck one over on us this time!
Thanks again, everyone. We feel like we're an endangered species.
J, I hadn't thought about that, but you're right, they're one and the same. :P
Happy crab cakes and happy anniversary. Both are good for the soul.
