Feeling a Bit Crabby of Late...

Do NOT mess with me!
I may be in a basket,
But I still can snap!

It's an ~Old Crab House~
Something I've not seen.

Imagine this dock
With it's full bushel baskets -
Teeming with blue crabs.

Quite a modern scene,
But the look of something old...
Tales to be told here!

Such perfect tumblers!
Full of memories spent with
All my ~blogfest~ friends.

expect anything!

P.S. The Waterman'sWife and her hubs took all us VA Blogfest attendees on a wonderful boat tour all around their part of the phenomenal Chesapeake Bay. While we saw incredible sights on the bay, I was really taken by the blue crab-related story told while nearing shore.
And the Tervis Tumblers? Aren't they just wonderful?? Angie took it upon herself to special order them for all of us! I LOVE them! (I think it was Angie who did the tumblers - if it was someone else, oops, sorry and let me know!)
Oh, and take a minute to visit Chesapeake Bay Woman - she has many memories of our wonderful time...excuse me, I'm fogging up....

  11. Oh I am SO laughing as I recall how you taunted that crab with your camera strap ... and how clever you were to put something (paper?) inside the cups so they'd photograph well!

    Ironically .. I posted a crab shot too ...and tomorrow my recap post will be up........

  16. LOVE your pictures. (I was able to load the site today, sometimes with dial-up it won't work.)

    Tell the blue crab story - I don't recall hearing it.

    Those tumblers are The BEst. They fit perfectly in my car's cupholder and don't taste like plastic or tin like most travel mugs. Angie really did a great job.

    Have you and MPM picked out a house yet? It's a great time to buy, esp. in Mathews.

  17. Ah, for once it was okay to be crabby!

  18. I still can't believe it's over...even though I'm obviously sitting in my own home writing about it and reading what others have written.

    *sigh*

    And this just reminded me that I've got to find my tumblers! No, I still haven't unpacked. Trying to delay the inevitable I suppose.
