I admit, I was married in hot pink suede cowboy boots!  The two gals on the right standing behind me came out to California from Wyoming for the wedding.  We went to school together from 1st through 12th grade~

The Weekly Prompts Color Challenge  is pink.

Catfish Afternoon

11 Replies

I took my visiting friend Christine for a ride around the lake and into Michoacan to Petatan, a little town out on a peninsula that is home to dozens of fisheries and a few restaurants where the catch is about as fresh as it can get. Thousands of egrets, gulls, coots and black wing-tipped pelicans float and fly back and forth waiting for fish parts to be tossed into the water. In the restaurant we chose, the day’s special was blackened catfish and as you can see below, Christine enjoyed every moment of hers. A non-fish-lover, I opted for quesadillas and beans! (Please click on the first photo below to increase the size of all photos and to read the captions.)

When we got to Petatan, there were plenty of other people there to eat at the fish restaurants and view the birds.
The first thing we saw upon entering the open-air restaurant was the kitchen. The special that day was catfish and so Christine ordered it.
By the time we left, however, the large place was packed with up to 20 people at a table.
So how do I approach this?
Can’t be so hard.
At first , I’ll approach it logically
and seriously.
This goes here,
and this goes here.
She finally got tickled over the whole adventure
and eventually downright silly.
Nonetheless, she got the job done, stripping the catfish down to the bone.
And while we ate, this was the show we watched outside the floor-to-ceiling windows:
We eventually turned around and drove back to Tizapan,
To view this lovely old church.
Christine had a peek inside
We left the churchyard
and found this weekly market going on in the street near the church.
This young man, although heavily burdened, was happy to pose for us.

Pink Boots!!!

For the Pink challenge this week, Cee published a photo of a pair of pink cowboy boots.  My competitive side came out, so I have to publish these two photos of the hot pink suede cowboy boots I wore with my wedding dress! Two of these gals who went to school with me from grade one through twelve came from Wyoming to California to witness this event they had probably decided would never happen so they had to witness it for themselves.  The other one, also from Wyoming,  I’d never met before, but she decided when she heard about those boots, no doubt, to come see for herself. Rita is in the middle, back row.  Sheila is to your right. They are the two old friends.

Three blacks balance out the two pinks.  The other feet belong to friends from my women’s poetry group in L.A. and to Liz, a friend I knew in Australia who came from Texas for the event. It was fun seeing folks from my varied lives all mixed together at the wedding.  This was 31 years ago, folks, so no congratulations are in order.
