"I Saw it One Day . . ."

---

It's our anniversary (35!), and we're doing a stay-cation, as we will be driving south to winter in Merida, Yucatan, while a friend sits our house and dog . For lunch, we decided to visit the bustling downtown of nearby East Aurora, zeroing onto the deck at a favorite spot: Rick's On Main. (No Mulberry Street in this town.) But we saw many amazing sights.

Let
Top down, lids and shades on, ready to breeze our way to lunch.

Destination Lunch
The perfect deck! Summer in the Buffalo area is not to be missed, since winter is so long. Outdoor dinning is the only way to go, weather permitting.

Ten Minutes
If we wanted a table on the deck we were asked to wait. So we found a fork in the road, and took Yogi's advice.

First we encountered a UFO!
With a bar code, no less.

Next we saw an ice cream shop
But Mom always told us: "Don't spoil your meal by eating desert first!"

One of the Locals
On the way back to Rick's we even walked past Gumby!

The Bear Family home
Is that Baby Bear sitting on the porch?

Around the Block, and across the street
Rick's is across from Vidler's — and ole timey Five & Dime store. That's Mr Vidler sitting on the roof, with a firecracker in his hand. (I hope he let's go before it pops.)

Happy Times
A group near us took their camera to lunch, too. It's the generous thing to do.
By the way, the food was really good. We had Scallops Tostados with Thai chili's on a flat taco shell, with beans, and corn, and guacamole, which we split; and we also had a small flatbread pizza with greens and mozzarella, part of which we brought home. Yum!
