A Celebration

porch_chair.jpg
I guess it depends on how bright your monitor is, but this photo, for me, has a bit of an Andrew Wyeth look to it.

We went to dinner last night at Spain, a restaurant with a fine reputation. Our meals didn’t disappoint, from Diane and Matt’s melt in your mouth swordfish, to my tenderly seasoned sole, and Ginger’s veal stuffed with lobster. Dan and Mark shared Paella Valencia which came in a flat bottomed crock and could have fed four.

We sat next to a party of about twenty-five celebrating the birthday of the eighty-four year old matriarch. They were loud, boisterous, and flowed freely from table to table, as if they were in a separate room. Some of us felt intruded upon, but I thought how great. At the end, the all lined up against one wall for one of those impossibly dim and distant group shots. I wished I’d come armed with my pro-sumer camera and given them a photo worthy of their night.

your photos suck, and how many posts can you put up in one day?

Don’t challenge him, Matt! You don’t want the answer to that question!

Sounds like you are having a blast. I’m sitting at my desk thinking about the water. Thanks for the picture. Looks so wonderful.

It’s an okay beach but nothing like Crane or Plum Island. When the sun comes out I’ll see what I can get.

I was at Crane’s last week. The green heads are out now. It is somewhat unpleasant to be pestered, but everyone’s gotta eat.

I walked for hours and hours. Really beautiful. I see something new every time I’m there.

Veal stuffed with lobster. Yummm…I’m drooling.
