Well, @NikkiIsgar, We Went to Nikki's Beach House without You, and It Turns Out Chitunga Knows the Nikki Who Owns It (Delicious)

I was sort of disappointed in Sunday. It was supposed to rain all day, storm even, and it turned out to be a decent day. I was hoping for a mandatory stay-at-home operative, but was enticed outside, instead. Even at lunch, when we went to Nikki's Beach House at Short Beach, the owner said, "It looks like storms are coming tonight so there won't be an outdoor patio." Well, by 5 it was full sun...so much for that. Nikki, who worked with Chitunga at Vazzy's and The Windmill, is owner of the new restaurant and already it is obvious it's been turned around. It has always been a great location, but there's never been much traffic stopping by. Lately, I've noticed all the changes they've made and it seems to be working: outdoor patio, a tiki bar, corn hole, and bands. 

The food is delicious, too.

They were still on the Sunday brunch menu when we arrived, which was a shame because there are several items on the dinner menu I wanted to try (dang, I'll have to go back). Tunga scored with an egg contraption that looks like something Papi Butch would make - a layer of meet and a layer egg, with hash browns and fruit.

I spent most of the Sunday cleaning, organizing, doing yard work, and planning. I went over to Pam's for dinner (well, to weed whack a trail) and was served steak and mushrooms, soooooo good.

We have a couple of hot days ahead of us this week, and this morning we begin Who Do You Think You Are - the College Essay and Other Narratives....one of our best programs of summer.

And teachers return to summer...two more weeks.

Phew. Hard to believe this is summer two of this Covid-crazy chaos. Let's hope we humans can turn this whacky around. We got this.
