Dinner at Nadeem’s

Many of the newly built stores in Millville opened this weekend. The town now has a Target, Circuit City, and Famous Footwear and is quickly becoming the shopping Mecca of South Jersey. I figure this is good from a convenience perspective and it might even have a positive effect on property values but I waited at least 3 cycles for the traffic light at Sharp and High. No fun on the motorcycle.

Saturday was gorgeous but windy. On the highway I resorted to ducking down behind the windshield to reduce drag. Being blown around on a Honda 750 is a thrill.

We met Eva The Canvas Lady at Spring Garden so she could line up the snaps on the canvas top she made for us a couple months ago. She agreed to sew velcro ears on some of the pieces to cover holes where the rain was coming in. She’ll also make a new bimini top for the deck forward of the radar arch and create velcro flaps that cover the zippers.

We had lunch at the newly opened Longhorn steak place just to check it out. It was good but we weren’t the only curious diners. The place was packed and service was slow.

I went to Nadeem’s for a cook out on Sunday. We sat and talked in the garage. He was concerned about the rain forecast so moved the festivities from the back yard. One of the neighbors came over and Victor M showed later in the evening. Roula brought the kids home in the early evening and Chrissy went inside but Eddie stayed outside with the guys.

My assignment was to look after Eddie while his dad set up the hubble bubble. We chased each other around the car and checked out the yard. There was much running and giggling. I think we both enjoyed the change of pace.

Good friends, good food.
