This morning I led and narrated a walking tour of Locust Point for the winners of the Center Stage auction. I donate a couple tours each year and the highest bidder wins.

This group is from Westminster. The winner, Betty, invited a group of her friends and her daughter, who lives and works downtown. Betty was last year's winner, and I do put a deadline on the prize, which had come and gone. She asked me to extend it since her husband was ill which kept her from using the tour she had won within the allotted time.  No problem, for someone so nice, I did extend the date for her to claim her prize.

This lovely lady insisted on taking us all out to lunch after the morning tour of Locust Point and, as you might guess, I chose the restaurant.

Or rather,

I chose the chef, so we did not order from the menu. Instead, I had alerted the chef, who came out to meet everyone and discuss what we like to eat. Need I say how much fun it is to forget about the standard menu and just talk about what he suggests was freshest in the kitchen and pair that up with what we like, and devise a dish for each of us.  We just sat and gabbed and then the cooked to order dishes were brought to us.    Yummy! Yummy! Yummy!

Ask me if we cleaned our plates!
