No longer on the river and, again, an empty nester. Back to living on Fleming Island and making some more friends!

Burney's birthday bash

If you can call it a bash---it was only him and me in the entire dining room for the first hour and half of our meals. We had extraordinarily attentive service under these circumstances. In the other part of The Club an event was going on at the same time so staff members were walking through the dining room regularly as well. He got a chuckle out of a few things, commenting on how 'everyone' seemed to know me and that I had a 'special' glass in which my soda was served. First the special hot dogs at the pool and now this. They do this to shut me up---as much for their benefit as mine! 

This was Burney's first time eating indoors so this was extra special. Since neither he nor I liked the appetizer offered, we were treated to a wonderful substitution---beer cheese soup! I could not have been happier.He used his card for the free meal, getting the Delmonico upon my recommendation. He did not have leftovers like I did, though, eating his entire steak. For not generally being a meat eater, he did okay. Because we went early at his request, I was home before 8:00 pm, foam box in hand. Glad to help Burney celebrate his birthday this way!
Nancy W. and Burney poolside last fall. Nancy was invited to help celebrate Burney's birthday but had reserved for the other event at The Club. She's already been to Casual Grille Night once this month when Linda was here so she was excused!
