Elder and Sister Singleton asked us to lunch and we suggested that we go to one of our favorite places – the 15th Street Fisheries. This would give them a chance to get to know how to get there as well as see part of the inter-coastal waterway. Of course it was raining quite hard when we left the office but it cleared up enough that they got to take a walk on the dock after lunch.<\/p>\n

Our hosts and the beautiful Koi pond.<\/p>\n

P-day clothes and the Jungle Queen goes by. We suggested that the take a ride on one of their p-days<\/p>\n

A small boat pulled in with two young men aboard and they soon laid out their catch for a picture. I got both the fish and E\/S Singleton admiring them.<\/p>\n

One of the small yachts docked along the river bank. We had never noticed this sign before because we had not sat inside the restaurant. We had also not seen pelicans around.<\/p>\n

When we were on the docks, Mary pointed out these birds on the roof of the restaurant. At first I thought they were statues as each was in a different pose, but there is no doubt that this big guy is real.<\/p>\n

I also had not noticed this rather large sign before. The Singletons took a walk along the dock to look at some more boats docked in an inlet. I got them strolling back to the restaurant before we headed home. It was a great lunch – I had a delicious lobster roll – with some very good people. I am just sorry we will not have more time to get to know them.<\/p>\n

BTW – As I was driving back to the office it started pouring rain. However just before we got there, it stopped so we were blessed both at the waterfront and at the office.<\/p>\n
