It was a hectic week for the Feeders, which for us will continue into the weekend. We had house guests arrive Wednesday, and they left yesterday afternoon. Of course that meant that the previous Sunday through Tuesday was spent in cleaning, straightening, hiding, dusting, and vacuuming the digs from stem to stern. Visitors do have their place I guess. MFO left early on Thursday for Annapolis to attend a Maryland Historical Society conference and will arrive this afternoon in time to get DFD’d and go down to the college for the 60th Anniversary Dinner of the St. Mary’s County Historical Society. She dug in the archives (her job, actually) and made a nice display of St. Mary’s County involvement in the civil war.
Tomorrow afternoon, we will be going up the road to Baltimore to attend…… not Pimlico, but the annual reception hosted by the umbrella organization of one of the (numerous) Boards I sit on around here. Last year’s event was held in the Renwick Museum in DC, and this one will be in the Baltimore Art Museum. Based on last year’s, it should be a wonderful foodie experience. In a bow to decorum, I will not take the trusty camera, so you’ll have to have only a verbal report next week.
Then after arriving home late Saturday night, we’ll be up and out to work the first BeerFest at Historic St. Mary’s City. It is a fundraising event for support the many wonderful educational programs they do. There will be several craft and Maryland beers available. Tickets are required of course, and there will be plenty to do and see for guests of all ages. Music, Food, Crafts, Demonstrations will be part of the fun. So come out and I’ll pour you a beer.
The Woods Tea Company will also be performing (separate from the Fest) at the visitor’s center Sunday at 2 pm.
Other local stuff to choose from:
With most of the musical folk from St. Mary’s College off on their annual trek to Alba, Italy, there aren’t any classical offerings at the college for a bit..
There is a lecture tomorrow at the Calvert Marine Museum called “Giant Shark Babies from Panama”, starting at 2:30, and free to the public.
And also tomorrow, St. Michaels School is hosting a Asian-Pacific Celebration, unfortunately also starting at 2:30. Might be a chance to sample some different cuisines. Think there is a charge (to support the school).
And yet more tomorrow, there’s the annual Strawberry Festival and Bazaar in Chaptico in the social hall of Historic Christ Church. Maybe more “church lady” food available.
Speaking of Church Lady food, on Sunday, there is a “chicken dinner” put on by Trinity Church, down by the city. Nice compliment to the beer festival.
Restaurant Week is on the horizon starting on June 6 and running for two weeks.
Okay, enough for now.
Quick Foodie Note:
With MFO out of town (and dining at Harry Browne’s in Annapolis) I went back to “we’re out of scallops” last night. They weren’t..
Quick living on the water note:
Every time we look out the window, there is something different to see (you can see a lot just by looking)
Sometimes in the foggy mornings, we see the barges off to do their work
Sometimes there’s clouds.. like last night after the storms:
Life can be good
Especially if you are
