First Cosmo Of The Season!

 Before leaving for dinner I made this simple arrangement

 for the house using flowers from our garden.

 Then it was off to Foxy's [without the westies]

to meet Laura & Cary for our traditional first

martini of the season ... outside at Foxy's.

 Pouring my Cosmo ... our waitress had purple nails.

Not everyone can get away with this color!

 By the time we left the place was packed

and not an empty table to be found.

 Laura & Cary decided on a traditional martini with extra olives.

 View from our table across the Miles River

to the Crab Claw Restaurant.

 There were more boats than I expected

to see this time of year pre-Memorial Day.

 One Cosmo did me in ... I'm a cheap date!

 I had to remind Cary that he's not flying one of his

fast airplanes ... he just flew back from a quick turn-a-round

trip to Nantucket were he dropped folks off going to their vacation place.

J-U-M-P 

The tide really went out by the time we finished dinner.

 We said our goodbyes until we meet again on

Sunday night for dinner.

This is the 'official' Red Rocket time of year for meeting

Laura & Cary at one of the many outside restaurants that can

be found along the harbour in St. Michaels.

 An Impulse Stop

We wanted to try the new place in town

for ice cream and cupcakes.

 Last season this was an antique store

this year an ice cream parlour.

 Oh ... My!

 With all these choices I went with a simple

and boring vanilla ice cream on a cake cone ...

Wilson went for one of the cupcakes.

 Next time I'll try a cupcake but I'm betting

they aren't as good as the ones I make at home!

!! HAPPY WEEKEND !!
