Special Lunches

I got settled in at Susan's, resting, reading, watching some tv, eating the yummiest Chinese food!! I can't get good Chinese where I live so this was extra special. The weather was nasty, rain, rain, rain. Plans we had were quickly abandoned. Surely the sun will come out soon.

Friday a friend (first a friend of Susan's but then she became my friend as well), a true Southern lady transported to Conn. of all places but she retains that southern charm and wit. I just love her. She invited us to her country club, Belle Haven, for a bit of lunch and for us to catch up on the latest gossip  news. We southern girls never gossip!! 

The club was a charming place. I loved this particular view. That water is Long Island Sound.

It seems I order chicken salad an awful lot. You just can't go wrong with that. But, I do try to experiment with different foods whenever I am in a new place. HOWEVER.... that curry chicken salad on the menu was very enticing.. so I ordered it. I was not sorry!

                                    Of course, we girls had to have our pictures taken before we left!! 

                                          Since I was the honored guest, I got to be in both of them!!

Next day we went to lunch at the American Yacht Club with another of my young friends (borrowed from Susan). Again, a beautiful view and such fun. Andrea is so sweet and gentile. I just love her. So, talk over lunch was fun and entertaining. 

She suggested the Maine Lobster Roll. I've eaten lobster but never prepared like this so I am ready to try it. So happy I did. It was delicious. 

Just as we finished our meal, the rain stopped, the sun came out and we got an exciting view of New York City across Long Island Sound. A bit hazy but I was happy to get to see it. I love New York city. 

                                                   Other lovely views of our surroundings. 

                                                                              Of course, more pictures.
