Papa’s World – Meeting Old Friends from Tile Plant Days! At BLUE DRUM!

On The ICW – in Little River – sits BLUE DRUM – a restaurant that we have begun to frequent!

Next door to a marina – it opened a few months ago and we have been there three times!

One of the highlights for us is watching the boat traffic on the ICW – while eating lunch –

and seeing them dock and come up to eat!

You can sit on the covered porch or inside at the bar and tables or go down by the dock under umbrellas – protected from the harsh sun!

Peggy and Sherry looking out over the railing to the umbrellas and the ICW and boat docking!

The wind here cools things down with gentle breezes.

Our table is in the foreground – mostly shaded by the covered roof on the deck.

Next door is the boat marina where a neighbor of ours stores his boat.

We left here and went down toward Barefoot Landing before coming back.

We visited with Peggy and Adam Lawrence – who Sherry and I worked with back at the American Olean Tile Company in Olean, N.Y.

Adam was head of the Process – Engineering Department and my boss.

He now runs a very successful consulting business from Lancaster, Pa.

Sherry – Papa – Adam and Peggy – we have met up for the last couple of years when they come back each year to NMB for their vacation which they have done for years!

Great to see friends from WNY and talk about the past and future – at BLUE DRUM on the ICW!

Note the new add-on deck – done since our last visit a few weeks ago!

Papa’s World – Lunch at Blue Drum – Little River – ICW.

One of the many explorations we make is new establishments on the ICW!

Blue Drum is one of them – having opened in late May or early June.

When the family was here – we had a pontoon boat and we stopped in there for lunch –

tying up at their dock.

You can sit here under umbrellas or under a roof near the bar.

When we were here before we sat down where these people were sitting – using two tables –

this time we sit under the roof near the bar and the restaurant with seating inside.

We had the perfect view of boats coming by in both directions and enjoying the breeze off the ICW!

The food is very good – I had Beef Tips in gravy over rice!

The order Sherry had was Mac-Cheese- and Lobster bits.

Our lunchtime bill – mid twenty’s with drinks! Not bad!

Our view directly in front of us – with the docks for the visiting boaters – it was really comfortable under the shade of the porch deck!
