Dinner Date and Fish Fry

Monday Morning
It's Monday morning already. Where'd the weekend go? Where'd the last couple months go? We've also just passed the half-way point for our stay here at Sandollar and in just 6 weeks or so we'll be heading back into the high country of the west. I'm already looking forward to our new explorations and adventures.

This past Saturday night Dar and I treated ourselves to a quiet dinner out... just the two of us... the closest thing to a "date" we've had in quite some time. This is something that doesn't happen often when you're part of the Sandollar Social Network, where doing things in groups is the norm. We went to Alice Faye's on the Bay, just a short walk from our camp, had a respectable meal and enjoyed good conversation -- just the two of us.

Monday Night
Predictions of good weather prompted our group here at Sandollar to plan the oft delayed and much anticipated Fish Fry for today. A couple times through the winter the whole neighborhood gets together for the feast. Everyone brings a dish to pass and the main course of locally caught fish is provided by our two master fishermen -- Don and Prescott. The fish is chunked up, breaded, and deep fried to perfection. And it really is good.

About 50 people from the 'hood enjoyed the feast and a few hours of mingling and meeting new neighbors. We ate about 1pm and things broke up about 5pm.

No dinner tonight...
