Fireworks in Branford

Image
  FIREWORKS IN BRANFORD June 28, 2026 We started the day with a long walk to The Tasty Yolk for breakfast. Scott had a Tasty breakfast sandwich and I had a loaded potatoe bowl and it was delicious. The location and setup is not that great but customers are coming early because the food is that good.  Then we went grocery shopping at Caron's corner. It rains quite a bit today and so what, we're not made of chocolate.   Life is good.  Tim makes the  trip from the Housatonic River.  Jim and Mel come for a visit. Scott decides to go for a dinghy ride and visit Heather and Chris. "Come on Immer" "Ok daddy" Nooooo Immer : Well I guess I have  no choice. Dad : nope I see the same complicity than 17 years ago 😍    Chatting away Live band right at our dock. Weird pic of me dancing 😀.  Payton and Dan make it right on time for the sunset after this grey day. And here they are. Good night!

  BRANFORD, JUNE 27, 2026 Bruce & Johnson Marina The morning was rainy then it cleared out and we walked to the liquor store and the fish market for water. Exercise done. Beef nachos for lunch, a first and a keeper. I cooked beef with string beans and match sticks carrotsat home last Saturday. I used half of it for taquitos then added chili powder and cumin and brought it on the boat. Then I made nachos with Rotel tomatoes and cheddar. Yum! No Immer! Don't ask your dad Sunset watching after the puggy went to his quater. A selfie for mom.

We're at the marina at 9:06 We had lunch at Guacamole's with Tom. Tom and I enjoyed our fish tacos. The fish is mahi-mahi and it's so juicy and succulent.  Scott enjoyed his beef quesadilla and his peach margaritas.... well he said it was not strong enough. We had dinner at the restaurant here at the marina with Ron and Linda.  I forgot to take pictures. I enjoyed my Cesar salad with broiled salmon very much and Scott his chicken parm. We went for a boat ride on the river with Ron.  He appreciated to see Branford, where he works, from the river. Here's better pictures of the castle....
