T Stands for a Celebrattion

Hi everyone. This Tuesday we celebrate.
Happy 6th year to T Stands for Tuesday And a big thanks to lovely Elizabeth for hosting that long too. We wouldn't have this great place to meet and share our drink related posts if it wasn't for you!
So let's raise our glasses in a toast to celebrate.
Last Saturday we went out to lunch with my sister-in-law and her husband. We all got on the boat and motored over to BG's Boathouse,  a restaurant right on the water.  You can see Sagamore Creek, the little river, in the far background.
 My sister-in-law, herr husband and myself shared a pitcher of red wine sangria. It was refreshing and fruity on a hot Saturday afternoon.

And you can see we had some water too.
I forgot to take a photo of my glass of sangria.
And we also had lunch. I definitely needed food if I was going to have alcohol. The guys had fried fish sandwiches but my sister-in-law and myself each had lobster rolls. (Lobster is low in calories,as long as you don't add lots of mayonnaise,  and is caught right out in Sagamore Creek as well all around the local area.)
And here's a view of BG's Boathouse from the water.
Hope to see you over at Bleubeard and Elizabeth's for the party.
And thanks for visiting my blog today.

What a wonderful celebration. That was definitely a party. I really enjoyed the sights of the water and BGs Boathouse. It looks like a fun place and that sangria looks wonderful, especially since you got an entire pitcher of it. And since I've never had a lobster roll, that sounded good, too. Thanks for sharing your outing with us, as well as your sangria and water, for T this Tuesday. And thanks for joining the ATC swap, too, dear Erika.

The sangria in the pitcher looks so pretty. What a fun restaurant. Looks like you had a spectacular weather day, too. Happy T Day

That looks like a beautiful place to dine during the Summer. And there's probably a cool breeze so it doesn't feel too hot there. Happy T-Day!

Taking a boat to a lakeside fish place sounds like great fun, and the setting looks perfect for a celebration outing. Happy T Tuesday!

What a fabulous place to eat! How wonderful that you can travel there by boat and the food sounds delicious ๐Ÿ˜. I love lobster rolls but never mind the calories I'll have mayonnaise on mine please ...lol ๐Ÿ˜‰. That jug of sangria looks delicious too, a glass or two would be perfect right now it's been a hot and sunny day here ๐Ÿ˜. Glad you had a wonderful outing and wishing you a very happy T Day! Hugs, Jo x

Looks like a great outing, Erika. I'm with you on lobster rolls but would have to include mayo on mind. The sangria looked refreshing. Grenville appreciated the birthday wishes and says Thanks.

Love, love lobster rolls! Glad to hear they are low cal! I couldn't get enough of them in Maine, and there is not such thing in Kansas! LOL
Thanks for a wonderful yummy post. Happy T Day!

Sangria is a wonderful summer drink. It looks and sounds like you had a
wonderful summer weekend together. Great! Happy T-Day!

Lobster rolls - yay! I would never pass up a chance for those.

Happy T-day and Happy 6th to us! Eileen xx

This looks a great place to visit and to have crab certainly sounds like a good idea! I managed to get some crab in France this year - I have never seen it on menus (in the restaurants we visit anyway) so it was a real treat! Happy T day, Chrisx
