Top Of The Morning To You

Up just before 6:00, in time to see the sun rise above the fog/steam rising from the lake.  It's a chilly 50º, causing the fog covering the lake's surface.  It looks like a fine day at the lake.  My day begins with breakfast with the guys, then home to begin the final push before my sister Ellen and her family arrive.  We can't wait to see them for the weekend.

The Stillness Of A Kayak Morning

We spent yesterday like always, enjoying a cloudy morning, a sunny afternoon, getting some of our chores done (I don't remember what they were at the moment), and waiting for the weed cutters to come (they never did).  We are good at putting off what needs to be done, me weeding the yard, Evie making ice cubes.  Both of these drive the other nuts.  I did work on my dock, sort of, because my plan did not work.  And Evie continued her busyness in the kitchen, making a tortilla chicken soup, cookies, and other things, getting ready for our weekend.  We like to be prepared for our family, so we can enjoy their stay.

We took it easy in the afternoon, though it was too cool to sit on the dock until later in the day when the sun came out.  I had the leftover Indian food for lunch, so as not to waste it.  And I watched soccer, read some, and took a nap.  Neither one of us had much mojo which was fine because it was good to just enjoy the afternoon.

Ribeye Specials At The Seezurh House

Ron and Linda, our good friends, picked us up at 6:15 and we drove over to our usual haunt, the Seezurh House, for dinner.  Bemus seemed to be busy, few parking spaces although the Seezurh House was not crowded.  I am sure the new Ellicottville Brewery, with his great porch with a view of the lake, is cutting into their business.  They were having a mid week special, a 10oz ribeye with salad and potatoes for 12.95.  All four of us ordered it and it was amazingly good.  We used to get it a couple of years ago during the winter months when it was only $9.95.  We complimented the waitress, Kalie on the steaks and she said Nate was back, the chef who seems to have quit and returned numerous times.  We were happy with our meals and will be back, especially if this is a regular Wednesday special.

We were home just before 9:00, in time to make myself a tin roof, Evie enjoy a nutty buddy for dessert and watch another episode of DICTE, the end to another good day.
