Laissez les bons temps rouler

GO_0228By Georgia Osten
I don’t care how you say it, it was a hoot and ½! We didn’t have a lot of time to prepare, but after all, we’ve been doing this for 4 years or so. It’s all about the beads, the t-shirts, the doggie treats, koozies and all the stuff we plan to thrown. Two golf carts again this year, the Crab Fest Raffle Golf Cart and our own CrystalBeach.com cart.

GO_0228-2We know the beads, no matter how expensive, are going to be a tangled mess as we plan to throw them. We know how frazzled we will be as folks are yelling for more, more, more. “Throw me a t-shirt!” As we approach people with their pets, we begin scrambling for our doggie treats. All in all, the crowds are so appreciative, especially when they see us straightening beads or reaching for more stuff to throw – “Thank you’s” from everywhere! I would stop in traffic just to reach in the back for more footballs or beads. Sista would actually turn around in her seat to reach for more of our stash in the back. Sista – This for you!

We had our snacks and Drinks ready, but no way did we have enough time to enjoy those, not until we finally got to Gregory Park. Sista and I will be ready to do this all over again. We hope the Crystal Beach Mardi Gras Parade Police will let us participate again – we may have gotten in some trouble … We would really like to be at the end of the line next year so we can socialize as we move along.

After all, it’s not every day you can talk to Cat in the Hat! Today you are you, that is truer than true. There is no one alive who is Youer than You!

GO’s Sand Bucket is only one beach bum’s journal of life at the beach, probably something each of you can relate to. Please feel free to email me with your thoughts, visions and/or feelings of just exactly what the beach means to you. Email: [email protected]
