Well, not terribly off topic. Today we went to Southport to celebrate the life of a long time dear friend. Maryann, you may remember me showing you his house where we spent many hours on his front porch. He died of cancer just before Christmas, but no funeral was held. Instead, his wife planned a memorial service today. It was held at one of our favorite places, Provision Company on the water. To get a better idea of why we loved it, click on the Virtual Tour at the bottom of the page.
Anyway, it was just the send off John would have wanted at one of the hottest places in town, that he built and started. Walking in, we were told everything was on the house! Crab cakes, shrimp and wings, John's favorites, and alcohol of every kind flowed throughout the hour and a half celebration. Stories were shared by many, including several by William, one of the few to not break down, toasts were made often, and the mayor announced today officially named John Gorman Day.
I just felt the need to share and thought some of you would enjoy a tour of a very unique eatery in one of my favorite places on earth!
