VSYEGDA GOTOV - FAMILY STYLE

Saturday was a gorgeous day; dry weather, blue skies and a high temperature around 82 degrees.

Bill and Leslie Gitlin picked us up at Nall Court at 6:40 p.m., and we drove to Timothy's Restaurant at the Gordon Beach Inn in Union Pier, Michigan for another farewell fete (and regular summer get-together) with family.

On the way to our seats, we saw our neighbors, Ron and Nancy Cohen having dinner with Bud and Pinky Raab! Then we sat down with Fred and Sue Kobak and Rob and Jane Lynch. 

We had a nice table on the porch, and dinner was very good. Andrea and I split a crab cake appetizer. I had the avocado and crab cold bisque and the shrimp and scallops in five spices. Tres bon!

Unfortunately, Andrea did not enjoy her filet mignon (overcooked and with the butcher string still on.) But Timothy's being Timothy's, they comped our triple mini dessert of flourless chocolate cake, creme brulee and ...hmm, did I mention how good the vodka martinis were?

Thankfully, Bill had only one glass of pinot noir and was more than fit to drive home, no problemo. Bill and or Leslie will drive us to the South Bend airport Tuesday at 12 noon, and from there, we'll take Coach USA to Chicago O'Hare's International Terminal.

Some photos from the evening...
