Wind was strong today, seas were rough. Started out with my glass of OJ from Erica at elZafiro restaurant. After prep, it was off to Philipsburg to help celebrate D & K Gems 20th Anniversary. They started in business just as we started our annual trips to SXM. Had a nice talk with Deepti, her brother Kamal, and Cousin Jeff.
Dropped off one of my vases that Jeff had bought. Then onto Juggies and his "smallest bar". Got several jars of "Magic Spice" for gifts. One of the few spots I hadn't visited during my thirty plus trips to SXM. Dinner this evening was with Elaine and Bill at our mutual favorite, The Palms. Elaine got my favorite, Lasagna. She only finished half, but she'll eat the rest in the next couple days. Bill got the freshly made 1/2# Sirloin Burger. Betty and I also shared a Sirloin Burger because cut in half it gives us a good meal and still leaves room for Carrot Cake. The Burger, w/fries or salad, a coke, and a Captain & Coke is $31.00 Bill and Elaine got Carrot Cake to go. We ate ours in front of them regardless. A stop at the casino on the way home left me up a couple hundred, Betty with down.
