Well, it's over. And based on the calorie count of the meals in the last four days, that's good.
Supper last night was a seafood chowder dinner at the Lockeport Fire Hall in support of the Sea Derby which is held in August each year. The chowder was extremely good - haddock and lobster, potatoes, butter, cream - you get the idea. There were brown and white rolls, crackers, tea, coffee, juice and a selection of about 8 kinds of pie - pie is the staple dessert at community events here, and in most casual restaurants. Cost $8.00.
The best part of these meals is that you get to see tons of people you know and can chat with one and all. Initially we sat with Elayne and Al (our across-the-street neighbours) and got an update on our local town councillor who was hit in a motorcycle (his)/ car accident last Monday by the Beach Centre, and is in intensive care in Halifax. Then Ed appeared - a friend from Connecticut who has just arrived and was sans wife Karin (he claimed she was still in Connecticut shopping) so he appreciated the meal being offered. Then Fred, our friend we visited in California in March, then Betty and Rupert, Vera and Clinton, Vicki and so on. A very pleasant way to spend dinner time.
On the subject of food, The White Gull opens for the season on Thursday - sadly, we'll be in Ottawa then, but we'll be down to visit Liz et al. when we return sometime next week.
