Oliver’s Harbor on Main Street is has recently added pizza to their menu for Monday-Thursday so Jim and I went to check it out. We always feel very welcome there and it was nice to return once again. I tried a blackberry sangria, something different for me and quite tasty. We ordered seafood dumplings and the sausage bomb pizza. The pizza is something a little different than the other pizzas in town and has its place among them. I am not a foodie (as you all know) so I cannot specify what makes it a little different but we both enjoyed it and plan to return to try another. Thanks to our server Melanie and the whole Oliver’s staff for making us feel like old friends. (GMG Jim really was happy despite how it appears here!)

It’s a beautiful piece.

Spring flood…

It was a great day to windsurf along the shore of Good Harbor Beach in the wave action a couple of days ago. Anybody else whistling “Let’s Go Ride a Kite”?
