Blogging, AboutMyBeaches, Friendships, Fins Ale House & Raw Bar, Rehoboth Beach, Delaware Beaches, It was a Silly Day, It was an Awesome Day! A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That for Sure!!
“Friendship is not something you learn in school. But if you haven’t learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven’t learned anything.” muhammad ali
That statement sets the tone for my post tonight. Starting AboutMyBeaches years ago has been great. In reality, it is my diary. Anyone that knows me can check where I am anytime. It is that simple. The idea of my blog started because I think I am a frustrated concierge. Bla bla and more bla. I do have some good information, I think.
My friends put up with me when we go to restaurants. I take photos all the time. They usually order different entrees so that I have more to talk about. My friends are priceless. They know who they are. They are there any time I need them. They also know how to give me space.
I am still celebrating my birthday. I might as well embrace the passing of time. Today, Jody and Debbie got together with me. We had our manis and pedis, had coffee at Starbucks then headed to see Focus, the new movie with Will Smith. You can tell it is still winter/spring at the beach…..look at the photo in the movie theater at Movies at Midway at 4:30 p.m. Lol!! You would have thought it was a private screening.
Off to grab an early dinner at Fins Ale House & Raw Bar located at 19269 Coastal Highway in Rehoboth Beach. Tel. 302-227–FINS. Website? http://www.finsrawbar.com. Jamison, our server, took care of us in a special way. We walked in with presents so he new we were celebrating.
The Balsamic Glazed Salmon Debbie ordered and loved.
Jody ordered their Chopped Salad and topped it with grilled chicken.
After all my dining in Charleston last week I decided that 2 appetizers would be the way to go. The Seared Tuna was really good. No, it was perfect.
And when I saw the Fried Green Tomatoes…..I “gotta” have them. I am on a fried green tomato journey. They were awesome. I could have had just that for dinner. Hope they keep them on the menu.
When I am with my friends there is so much conversation. You would not believe the subjects we come up with. Attitude was a big subject tonight. My friend Debbie brought me a writing by Charles Swindoll on Attitude. It comments about the attitude in our lives the longer we live. That we have a choice every day regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. That we cannot change our past or the fact that people will act in a certain way. Also that we cannot change the inevitable. It ends with “And so it is with you, we are in charge of our attitudes”.
Another topic of conversation was how people find each other. My take is that anyone that really wants to find you, can. I did not have to wait too long because checking for my messages on my phone I saw something on my AboutMyBeaches email address…..it was my old college roommate. I have not seen her since 1972. I might have spoken to her in 1976. Her name was Carolyn de Lima and she was from Syracuse. Her family owned Paul de Lima Coffee at the time. So surprised to hear from her. She had been in Puerto Rico and was looking for me. We have not talked yet. I just sent her an email. How nice!!
Connections continue as another friend that lives in Portland is, as I type this post, staying in my apartment in San Juan…..have not seen her since the early 1970s, as well.
So, you see, if you want to find someone….you really can.
So quiet in my house tonight….taking it all in. What a nice day. See you later.
Note: I still have posts from Charleston.
