Good-bye Applewood

Applewood is a favorite restaurant of mine. I've been there numerous times, but the most momentous one was on my first date with Blair. We closed the restaurant down with our non-stop talking. We had so much in common and there was chemistry too! We liked each other instantly! Nine days after that first date at our mutually loved place, Blair asked me to marry him! I said yes with no reservations.

Many times after that, we'd go there to toast our good fortune in finding each other and enjoy the wonderful food as well. It was always special.

After Blair passed into eternity two years later, I'd still go there. Sometimes with family, sometimes with a friend. Just last week, with two hiking friends, I had a delicious lamb chop accompanied with gnocchi in a white wine sauce and parmesan cheese. It was great--as expected
.

Unfortunately, the restaurant is now closed. They will continue catering but not dining in. I will miss that place. It's full of memories of great conversation, delicious food--and best of all, the launch off of a wonderful relationship--and marriage. I'm sad they are closed, but everything doesn't stay the same. Even great eateries.  Moving forward.....for backwards is not an option.
