There is a lodge down the road called the OutPost and they offer their guests the option of preparing meals for them - they also serve the public with reservations. Ron and Mary organized the dinner for Fathers' Day this past Sunday and it was a good evening and a delicious meal of turkey and ham and all the trimmings. I snuck in to take a picture of our hosts before the dinner in their kitchen. There was Anne, her son Jaime, Jim and our server, Gary. That's a picture of Jim in the chef's hat as he made the rounds after the dinner. It is a beautiful old lodge that is very welcoming to guests. It is also a BYOB establishment so Brent made sure to bring a few extra bottles of wine. I packed my vodka Tonic for the meal but drank water most of the meal. It was a grand evening with great conversations going on all down the table and I think we overstayed our welcome after the meal. But Anne and Jim just joined in our conversations and made us feel welcome - no matter how late we stayed!!
Gary, our server, was very attentive to our every need and never let us ask for anything - he had it right there before we even knew we needed it. Not bad for someone not really trained in this line of work. But just a local who needed work and was accommodated by the OutPost.
Our next get together is this Friday at the Thessalon Legion for the fish fry - the last one before the summer. They take a much needed break in July and August and then start it up again in September. I bet it is going to be packed. But we will be there - at our special table set up in the basement close to the bar. You can't miss us!! See you there...
