The gorgeous weather and our having such a good time stretched our two night stay at the beach into four, and had Jimmy not had an appointment tomorrow, we'd probably still be there. On our way home, we detoured through St. Mary's to see our friends Micky and Cathy Bright, who recently built a home in Cumberland Harbour.
We love their house. It's perfect, with wide plank pine floors and light-painted tongue and groove walls and great cottage detailing, and beautiful old oriental rugs and wonderful antique furniture and paintings: very Micky and Cathy.
They had lunch waiting for us, and it was divine. Micky has a crab trap on the St. Mary's River, and he had caught all the crabs, picked the crabmeat, and made crabmeat au gratin. Jimmy said that Micky probably had to pick a dozen crabs to get enough meat for that one dish, but it was well worth the effort.
Cumberland Harbour is a beautiful area with huge ancient oaks towering over stands of palmettos, and gorgeous coastal views of the river. It's easy to see why Micky and Cathy fell in love with it.

Sounds like a better place than Atlanta for sure. I hope you are having perfect weather. It is still winter in Highlands, fires in the fireplace, jackets and sweaters. If you tell us about one more gorgeous place at the oceanside, we may not highlight your blog anymore. Only kidding.
Have fun and take care.
