Legends Burger House is going to have a late St. Patricks Day/fundraiser for Derek the local 16 year old bass guitarist sensation that was recently accepted to Berkley School of Music. We were told it was going to start at 1pm so I blogged until we left at 1:30pm. When we got there Tanya the steel drum player was just bringing her drum up and we could not hear any music. Dad went to see what the plan was and we decided to go into town for a coffee. As we were leaving we saw Jerry & Kathy drive by and told them what was going on and that they should stop on in for a drink. We stopped off at the library to get a card and my book but somebody had checked it out yesterday! O-well we got the card and put a hold on the book. Coffee was delicious as usual. Madre' and I went into the gift/clothing shop by the coffee shop and found a dress each on the clearance rack.

To waste some more time we went into SAGA to see if Cinthia would fit into a tiny kennel to be carry on. I got the keys from Heidi and we all rode our bikes to Fort Dog. I leashed up Cinthia and tried her on the bike. She was raring to go and didn't get run over once! We threw some treats into the kennel and she went in to get them but would not fit all the way. Heidi gave me her cell phone to call continental again and they said that a 15lbs dog would not fit as carry on because the seat space is only 8-9 inches high. Well we tried. As we were leaving Matt came up with a brilliant idea that we could try and fundraise for the money and if we don't make it by the time we leave we will donate whatever we do raise to SAGA for all the animals. I ran back in to tell Heidi and Ingrid and they were well pleased. We took Cinthia back, took the keys back and then headed to Legends.

We were all starving by then and shared 3 burgers between the 4 of us. The music was starting up and people were filling in. They were offering jello shots for donations and we partook. After we were done eating it was getting a little chilly so Matt and I rode back to the house to get some sweaters while the parents rode to town for an ice cream. We grabbed our stuff and went to look at the bananas progress by the pool. One of the renters came out and started talking our ear off about anything she could think off. Matt excused him self to get his bag and gave me a look. I laughed to myself and tried to be as polite as I could, I think I said "well, have a good night" three times before she finally let me go. We peddled as fast as we could!

Jerry & Kathy were already there having a drink with madre' & padre'. We joined and Matt whipped out our Cuban cigars. I have only ever had a puff off of Matts once before. It took me a little bit to get it going and then I accidentally inhaled! I was done with than for the night. Thankfully it didn't make me sick. When J&K said goodnight we all moved upstairs to see the band. The tiny room was almost full of band equipment, they sounded great! We stayed for a few songs and called it a night. There was a dog with no ears that followed us all the way home. When we got home I made cookies and found SAGA Humane Society on Facebook, became a fan and uploaded some photos of our walks. Madre' went to shut the front door and the dog had curled up just outside, funny.
