The Gangs All Here

It rained a little during the night and again in the morning, hence the reason the entire Island is a lush green. Even with the windows open the rain seldom comes in the Condo due to the gable overhang.

The Sun soon " Euchred" the rain clouds so by noon it was a bright sunny day so we headed for the beach.  We got to the beach  just in time to join Peter and Judy ( Christmas Dinner Host ) and Jack and Gwen as they were heading down the beach for lunch at their Special  restaurant  that they visit every Sunday for lunch. We had never been there for 2 reason;  first we did not know about until they came about 2 weeks ago and second reason is that is a 1/2 KM walk  ( Carroll says it was a mile one way ) which is the Maximum for Carroll to walk especially  on the sand.  We were joined by a family friend of Peter and Judy's and their own  son, who flew in to visit his parents because his " Skidoo" vacation in the Montreal mountains had been cancelled due to the lack of snow.

This restaurant is actually a two story " Bricks and Mortar " structure that serves fabulous meal in the evening. But during the day it has a huge tent set up outside to serve us old Beach Bums and even those who own as little as a halter top and a thong. Not all those wearing a thong are young. Oh mercy!!!!!The restaurant is called François's and one specially is Poutine , better known as a Heart Attack on a plate. Carroll and I shared a Heart Attack and an Empanada.

Of course there were drinks all around before the food order but I can not drink since I am on Antibiotic so it was water for Carroll and I. Judy ordered a glass with Ice and a Mickey of Rum for her and Peter. I said, surely your are not going to drink all that and she said "probably" not but two drinks of rum is the same price as the Mickey  so I'll take the rest home. Incidentally there was nothing to take home.

After lunch we went back to our beach where we had reserved our lounge chairs and burnt up the rest of the day. cheers
