Down by the Riverside. . .

New Year's Eve we drove over to the area where Pepe's is and had dinner at the Riverside Restaurant. It is also on the river and they have a boat they use to give river tours. We didn't take the tour. In fact we weren't sure we were going to get dinner. It was about 4:30 and we were the only ones there. They was one older woman who was apparently the only employee and she said they were open and we could get food, but we would have to wait for her to turn things on, etc. She said no one showed up to work. She was turning away a lot of customers.

We decided to wait. While she didn't seem to eager to go to work, the tenderloins she fixed were very good. By the time we left, more employees had shown up and more customers as well. When we left we asked if they had just opened up and the proprietor said no, but New Year's Eve Day is always a very slow day.


We came back home and later we joined Mom and Dad in their trailer, along with the dogs, and they slept while the humans played cards. We had some snacky stuff and played cards until 11:00 which is when New York dropped the ball for the new year. We then went back home and stayed up until we officially experienced the new year and then went to bed.

Happy New Year everyone!

Till next time. . .
