The sunset on our final night night in Petowskey with Helen and and John...indeed a time of reflection and a certain degree of sadness...This night my sister and brother in law took me to a wonderful resturant in a town just down the road from their cabin in Petowskey. I had been craving some local fare for dinner and Helen and John took me to a wonderful resturant to enjoy some of my favorite childhood local fresh water fish. Now since moving to California I have become a strictly salt water seafood kind of guy. My greatest craving since embarking on this trip has been suishi...I made up my mind many weeks ago that I was going to wait until I got back to the west coast to have any...another west coast bias I guess!..anyway at this resturant I ordered Walleye, which was prepared magnificently! In the 40 years since I had left the midwest, this was a first for me. In all honesty it was one of the best meals that I have enjoyed...hey I guess you an you can teach an old dog new tricks! When sitting down I asked that the waitress bring me the bill. John snaked me out of it by getting the bill and giving her his credit card and telling her it was from me...it was a very nice thing to do...but still pissed me off! As expected I chastised the waitress for breaking that age old practice of who ever asked for the bill first got it...John is very sneaky that way...but thank you Helen and John, it was a very nice thing to do. The only concern we had this night, was that Ruby and Divit (Helen and Johns dog) might rip each other to shreds while we were gone! |
