Today we celebrated by eating more friend food than we have had for over a year. Today, Don turned 82 so Doreen suggested she take us all out for a birthday dinner. As we had eaten a late breakfast, we decided to go for a late lunch to celebrate. Ken suggested Shuckers, a restaurant and bar that is close to home.
The rain was coming down cats and dogs, so Don kindly brought his new car into the garage. We all walked along the covered walkway into the garage and the car. At the restaurant, he dropped us at the canopy leading to the restaurant. Pretty good service from Don on his birthday, as none of us got a drop on rain.
Shuckers is a place with plenty of local color. It looks very like a Mississippi joint, except it is big. Today the waitresses were all in costume and a live band was playing beginning at 3:00. It was certainly not a place you could dine in Toronto. We had a good time, and the food was excellent. We were full after the appetizers. But the worst part was that Don payed the bill, even though it was his birthday. We were happy to celebrate the 82nd birthday with our friend Don, to whom we have been friends for over 60 years. All 4 of us will remember our good time at Shuckers celebrating the birthday of Don even though it was an odd place to celebrate. It was definitely not a fancy restaurant!!
