A few weeks ago, we headed over to the island for Bayfest, a street festival to celebrate the return of the snowbirds from their summer hiatus.
In conjunction with the festival, we enjoyed Classic Cars and Classy Cats.
“Hey! You’ve got a Tiger on your Tank.”
“Rave On, Raven!” (Quoth the Raven never more.)
It’s a bird, it’s a plane . . .
It’s a Car . . .
“Does this Jeep make my envy look green?”
“Hot dog! A Hot Rod!”
And check out this golf cart, perfect for enjoying island breezes in style!
Aah . . . that’s better!

No trick or treaters in our neighborhood . . . so we headed over to the Costume Contest at the Chamber of Commerce on the island to check out some fun and funky looking kids.
“Want a gum ball?”
“Does this hat make my skin look green?”
“What does a mom have to do to get a little sleep?”
“Yabba Dabba Do!”
And my fave . . . the little engine that could!
From there, we headed to Longboat Key for Happy Hour at the Chart House where I ordered a Monarch Margarita with . . . blood orange!
We enjoyed two appetizers (calories once again ignored) ~> a delicious hummus trio with gluten-free plantain chips for dipping.
And a yummy spinach artichoke dip.
“Does this dip make my teeth look green?”
From there we headed to a Spooky Halloween Party on Bridge Street (with spirits aplenty). (This shot is a bit shaky because BFF was spooked by the holiday happenings. Bwa Ha Ha . . .)
The Bridge Tender Inn had decorations to die for . . .
“Care for a sweet, sweetie?”
“You light up my eyes. You give me strength to suck your blood.”
“Sure it’s a good look now, but when it rains I get damp brain . . . and let me tell you damp brain is way worse than brain freeze.”
“Chain . . . chain of fools!”
“Don’t come knocking when baby is rocking!”
“Hi! I’m Meg Ryan after a few too many face-lifts!”
“Don’t take Fright . . . we’re just Spirits in the Night.”
“Bye, bye, sweetie. So glad you didn’t die!”
Aah . . . that’s better!

It’s a terrific antidote to Pointlessly Pondering Poisonous Politics:
