Singleton’s Salsa Shack – Open For Summer 2013
On Saturday I met a girlfriend and we took a ride out to Tobay Beach in Oyster Bay NY. What a perfect day for a drive and lunch by the water! Our destination was Singleton’s Salsa Shack for a yummy Mexican lunch. They are opened for Summer 2013 .
It was a long drive and the first thing we ordered were frozen Margaritas. So good and so refreshing. Lots of shade from the sun and a lovely breeze off the water.
Lots of drinks to choose from, but a simple Classic Margarita is just right – no salt please 🙂
I ordered the Crab Enchiladas, served with sour cream, rice and beans and a simple salad. Kraft Kitchen Recipe Below.
My friend ordered the Shrimp & Rice Plate. Each serving was very generous, that we took half of it home.
There is also a miniature golf perfect for families with small children and a park play ground and of course a beach. Lots to do and see. A perfect place to be this summer. If you get a chance, go and enjoy it for yourself!
P.S. Parking is free when you are dining only. Just tell the parking attendant.

RoseArt Sidewalk Chalk and Hopscotch
When I was a child I always loved to play HOPSCOTCH. My friends and I also played at recess and after school.
Hopping on one leg was such a challenge and how about bending down, on one leg, to pick up a stone, stick, or whatever we had available to help us play the game
Of course, if no one had a piece of chalk this game was not an option. Some of my friends would always carry a piece of chalk and when someone yelled, hopscotch, out they would pull it and begin to box up numbers.
Chalk and a sidewalk go hand on sidewalk. Now our grand kids have taken up playing hopscotch. However, the chalk they use is not your regular straight plain white piece of chalk but RoseArt Chalk.
Roseart chalk comes with a surprise inside and creates a surprise on the outside. See now our grand kids can draw a hopscotch game board in colors. Plain old white hopscotch is so passe’ now that RoseArt is here. Wish I had more color in my hopscotch board.

A Weekend With The Kids – Movies, Playing, Fighting and Goofing Off
I take the kids out for their birthdays. Natalie had a bowling day in June and Liam wanted a movie day. Since it was Liams’ birthday, he picked the movie Turbo. It is an adorable can do movie. ” No dream is too big and no dreamer too small”. Love it!!! Be sure you take the children in your life to see it this summer. After the movie, we went to lunch and I made the mistake of sitting in a booth. They kicked each other under the table, then took turns crying about it all through lunch, spelling indigestion for me.
These kids were up bright and early on Saturday and full of pep. Basketball and hopscotch!! I did my best to keep up with them 🙂 That’s my daughter crossing the street to get the basketball.
No visit would be complete without lunch at the kids favorite place, Benihana Restaurant. The food is cooked right in front of you and the chef plays with the food and the kids love it. Believe me this place is always crowded (a very good sign). May I recommend that you try the Green Tea Ice Cream. Here we are being silly after the meal. http://www.benihana.com/
I guess I looked bored or something when we got home my daughter handed me a book “Social Media Engagement for Dummies” to take home and read. She’s a comic 🙂 I flipped through it while I watched the kids that night while her and my son in law went on a movie/dinner date. Sunday morning after a quick cup of coffee, I packed up and headed home to rest up !
