Six More Weeks of Winter

[L Verge]

Herb, I will only come to visit you in mid-July!

A group of us did visit Rochester about 25 years ago when Surratt House and the Surratt Society received an award from the American Association of State and Local History during their conference in your great city. I can't remember the month that was, but it was very nice weather in a very nice city. We visited the impressive George Eastman house and several other sites before taking advantage of the closeness of Niagara Falls (saw both sides of that).

Somehow, en route to the Falls,we got on some back roads and stumbled upon one of the greatest restaurants I have ever been in. It was nothing fancy, sort of a huge log cabin look to it -- and filled with hunters and fishermen, who were loud, boisterous, and fun until two got into some minor fisticuffs. The food was absolutely wonderful, especially the steak. No chef in Texas or Kansas City could have cooked one so tender, juicy, and flavorful.

P.S. I just proofread my own posting here and realized that I have outdone myself with adjectives!
