T Stands for Double Drinks

     Hi everyone. Happy new week. Today I'll be linking up to Bleubeard's and Elizabeth's blog  T Day post so hello to everyone who joins in.

   Last week life was busy with a couple of appointments. It was also the  last time this summer for us to have a week at my mother-in-law's house. The assigned weeks between my husband and his 2 sisters end right before September 1, and due to having a couple of switches, we wrapped up our weeks this past Sunday. 

    Saturday my daughter came over to spend some time there. I think it was the nicest day all summer on the lake. 

    Then on Sunday my husband invited one of his cousins and his wife over, and in turn a few more cousins came along, so it ended up being like a big party. 😏

   Some of us had our lunch down on the dock, and while we were eating, a young eagle flew across the lake and put on a show for us. He was trying to, with some success,  catch himself a fish or two.

     Based on what I found online, this eagle was probably about 3 1/2 years old. Here's where I found my information: Eagle Traits as They Age. Here is a chart they had on their website showing how eagles change until they get their adult plumage  and beak coloration at around 5 years.

     I've seen lots of eagles in the general area, but I have never seen one so close at my mother-in-law's house.

    Since it was our week, I went over a couple of afternoons to swim and read on the dock while my husband was at work. And Friday, when my husband only works until noon due to his company's summer hours, we went over to the lake again and skipped our usual weekly boat trip.

   After our Friday swim, it was dinner time, and we decided we'd stop for dinner at a newer restaurant. It's called PUB 28, and it's owned by the same family that owns and runs Pop's. This restaurant is a sit down place with a bar, and it has some other things on the menu besides what Pop's has.

     No my glass is not that much bigger than my husbands. I goes to show you what perspective does. 😏 I had their white sangria, which was a bit too much orange juice, but still good. My husband had some rum punch which was delicious. 

   We put our order in and had our pre-dinner drinks. And we waited and waited and watched people who came in after us get food. Then our waitress came over. She wasn't the brightest bulb in the pack, but nice, hard working and really quite the looker. She told us it was her fault but she forgot to put our food in. In fact, she lost the slip with our order. She took our order again, and comped us another round of free drinks while we waited. 

  I switched over to the rum punch, and here's our drinks round 2.  For those of you who may not be familiar with baseball, those socks on our glasses are not only red but are for the Boston Red Sox, which is the big team for much of New England.

  Dinner arrived shortly afterwards. I had a shrimp Po'Boy sandwich, and my husband had a burger.

     My sandwich was huge, so after a few bites of bread I ended up just eating the shrimp and some of the French fries. Like their sister restaurant Pop's, the servings sizes were big. However, since it is a more expensive place to run, the prices were  a bit higher. Plus unlike Pop's, they are open year round. 

    That's it for me. The heat is on at my house this week. I hope you are not having quite so hot temperatures where you are. have a super T day and week ahead.
