Friday Flags: Dinner with a View and a Flag in East Haven

As I approached the end of the week, I realized I had no photo for this series. I was going to go into the archives and find one to just keep it going.

Before I got ready to prepare the blog, however, I needed to collect my wife from the regional airport in East Haven as she had been visiting with her brother in South Carolina.

Almost 7 PM on the shore, I forced her to come with me to dinner and suffer through an alfresco seafood dinner.

In spite of the hardship of the shore line dinner, my wife did ask if I saw the flag across the roadway on the shoreline.  There wasn't much of a breeze as the air was heavy, but I asked the wind gods for some assistance.

The flag started to flutter a bit and I got a better shot.

I chose to not press my luck and was satisfied with the shot. 

Plus, my wife did acknowledge that she enjoyed the forced upon her lobster dinner.

Good morning, Ed. I sure wouldn't complain about a lobster dinner... can't remember when I last had one. That photo is quite lovely... nothing to be "ashamed" about.

Nina Hollander, Broker  we are in lobster territory so an occasional taste is not beyond expectations.

Good Friday morning, Ed. We have a sunny morning in Maryland and the flags are flying in our home community.

Have a fine day and an outstanding weekend.

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754 I do not understand why you would write publicly about spousal abuse.  Your wife is a hostage in your car after being picked up from the airport, and you force her to eat a lobster dinner.  Shameful.  💛💙

Ed Silva, 203-206-0754  Oh no, you could force a lobster dinner on me. In fact,t when my friends were celebrating my Birthday month with me, they took me to La La Lobster. Good shot of the flag Ed

Hi Ed:

Sounds like it was a great evening that met a number of expectations. Lobster and Old Glory? What a great combination.

Have a good weekend!

Hi Ed- you would not have to twist my arm for an al fresco dinner of lobster!!!!  And you, sir, have an "in" with the Wind gods when you need them to make an appearance for your flag photos.
