Catching Up after Maine, Work, and a Birthday

It has been several weeks since I’ve posted in this blog, although I have been faithfully posting at least once a week on the Annapolis Taste blog.  So if you are ever wondering what I’ve been up to, you could check there.

Back in July one of the members of my book club generously opened her house for a weekend to her fellow bookies  for a long book club weekend. And what a  great weekend it was in York Beach,dining on lobster and doing a night of Karaoke. Of course we swore that “What happens in York Beach stays in York Beach” so I can’t provide any details but… it was a pleasant break from the hot humid environment of Maryland.
So here are a few pictures…

I always have to go swimming. I find the cold water exhilarating and I convinced my friend Susan that she should join me!
Yesterday was August 14th, the wedding anniversary of my friends Lynn and Jeff and the birthday of my husband Peter, day that marks many important occasions. I always write him a poem and we try to do something fun so we started celebrating  Monday night with a beer and a light dinner outside in front of Castlebay on Main Street in Annapolis after walking Chloe around town. All through dinner it was Chloe who got all the attention. Everyone wanted to pet her and say hello. Must be because she is so adorable!

  Last night we went to Severna Park to buy Peter a beer making kit.

Afterwards we went to dinner at Gary’s Grill and for details click here.

  1. Happy birthday to Peter (I also wishes him the same on Facebook) – and glad you had a great time in Maine. I love it there – in the summertime!

  2. Dear Ms. Maril – My wife and I have been getting Chesapeake Taste Magazine for several months now and enjoy it a great deal. I have noticed that from time to time your magazine includes articles about local musicians . Given that, I would like to ask you if you might be interested in writing about the band I founded called THE KINGS OF CROWNSVILLE. We play around this area quite a bit and have just come out with a new album. I think it would make some interested reading. Most of the songs we performed are original and we appeal to a very wide audience. To find out more, you can check out our website at kingsofcrownsville.com. Let me know what you think . By the way, we are playing this Friday at 49 West at 8 pm.
    Thanks,
    Steve Johnson
