| Bella's Outfit for the Mama Vilma Benefit Fashion Show |
It's cloudy today. I don't mind, because I have to be careful of my pink belly which, I'm told, is subject to sunburn. Tom got smart and took his shirt off one bright afternoon. Now he's as pink as I am. Shelley tried to warn him, but oh, well.
Tom, Bart, and I went to Fido's (pronounced FEE-doze) last night to hear Kelly McGuire sing while Shelley and the girls went to the fashion show. Home-based in Austin, Kelly says Ambergris Caye is one of his favorite spots, and he visits frequently. He gave an amazing solo performance with no backup. It was like watching Garth Brooks in the old days while he was still playing in Stillwater bars.
Here's an excerpt from "Boat in Belize":
He sits at the bar while he's waiting for charters
He's up at the crack o' noon
At night he's at Fido's dancing with ladies
He's a strikingly handsome dude.
His boat in Belize is docked in San Pedro
A coconut fall from the bar
His back to the beach on his favorite bar stool
He don't have to stumble too far.
He plies his trade in the islands divin'
Tryin' to forget what he left far behind.
He's just what he seems--
He's lovin' his dream--
With his fishing boat in Belize.Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas were in San Pedro the past few days, but I didn't see them. You'd think they could at least call ahead.
We're heading back to Fido's at 4 o'clock for another McGuire concert. I'll let you know about the fashion show soon.
Love, love, love this blog! Mickey, my English bulldog is impressed with island living and sort of jealous!

Bella, I totally agree with you, Kelley McGuire is great. We bought 3 CD's. It is interesting that all of us had to come to Belize to hear a singer from Clearwater, TX. See you tomorrow Bella. Be sure and tell Tom I checked out your blog, AFTER I checked on our new granddaughter:)
ReplyDeleteFinally, I can rest peacefully! My day started terrible. I explained in an email earlier to the editor that I start my day with all the things I love in order... coffee,devotionals,emails from friends,than bellainbelize.com . Bella would be ranked higher , but she's newer on the list. So I was really bummed when my dog-blog wasn't up yet. I need the laughs,the scenery,and the knowing that other people are living the dream. Only then, can I work all day with a goal in mind of joining you all!
ReplyDeleteBTW...love the techy touch with the weather update!
ReplyDeleteThat techy touch was the subject of some debate, houstonhoney. Shelley and I hated it, but Techy Tom prevailed! Bella
