Dinner at Claws

This evening we finally had good weather for an anniversary dinner at Claws, a casual seafood restaurant in Rockland that has what is considered the best seafood around. Fine dining in a casual atmosphere. The seating is essentially outdoors, but it is a roofed pavillion, and in cooler weather there are plastic side windows that keep it from being too breezy. There is also the option of an unroofed deck. We opted for the pavillion, and were quite comfortable. It was a fine evening - sunny and not too windy, but still on the cool side. Jim had haddock tacos, Mary had fishcakes, Ellen had a haddock sandwich and I had steamed clams. Everything was relly good. I love steamed clams and feel that summer is complete when I have a chance to have them. No one got a lobster dinner, probably because the price is out of sight -though I was treating and said price was no object. Maybe I'll splurge later in the summer. Dessert was waiting for us back at the house - a freshly baked blueberry pie by Mary from her own blueberries. That was really yummy too! After dessert, we watched the same episode of Endeavor on Masterpiece Theater (PBS) we watched last evening, but this time, we streamed it and had captions. Last night we watched it on broadcast TV and captions were not available, and we felt we were missing a grest deal of the British dialogue, and were sort of confused at the end as to just who had done what! It was well worth watching the second time and this time it was much clearer, for sure. Earlier today I took a little walk using Mary's poles - mine are back in Shutesbury where I accidently left them when we went there for "Savanna Day." Otherwise it was a pretty quiet day. Jim did enlist both Ellen and myself to be reoorded singing a round he had composed about peace in Ukraine. He made multiple tracks of himself, Ellen and me so that it sounds like a group. I spent much of the day listening to the Guilford service (which we missed of course) or listening to Vermont This Week which is broadcast on Friday evening , but it is on Vermont PBS, and we only get New Hampshire PBS on the TV. However, it is archived on VTPBS website and can be watched later. I also did out word games - I did well on Spelling Bee, average on Wordle and bombed on Quordle. Oh well!
