Dinner with Friends

Well, on Saturday we were back at the Son Rise for breakfast with the group.  It seems someone brings a new friend or visiting friend/relative along almost every week. I think we had twelve again this past Saturday.   Rich still makes the "Dunkin Donuts" trip, four to six mornings a week and gets his free donunt or muffin.  I joined him and the crew a few days ago;  a cup French Vanilla coffee sounded good that morning.  

But on Wednesday we met up with Coach Mo and Jeanne for dinner.  Jeanne is taking her yearly treck to Nova Scotia to visit family, and she'll be gone for about 19 days.  With my injury, I haven't seen her on the courts, so we needed to get together before she took off.   The Lighthouse seems to be the restaurant of choice this year.  We talked about Giovianni's Italian, TooJays, Cracker Barrel or Lighthouse.  It was Mo's decision that "if it doesn't rain, let's go to the Lighthouse; if it rains we'll do TooJays"

We'd been getting some afternoon showers, but we were spared on Wednesday, so took the golf cart ride to Sumter Landing  to the Lighthouse.   As usual the meal was excellent and the view of the lake was beautifull.  The guys went for the house favorite - the Fried Haddock Platter, while Jeanne and I opted for Shrimp or Scallops.  The atmosphere and conversation was so casual and comfortable tonight, that we sat for a very very long time before saying goodnight.
