the corny look on Barney's face and Aunt Bee's too...

I done fergot me fishing pole! Gomer...

a casual date at a waterfront watering hole (as opposed to a more formal restaurant)?  Is it sometimes fun just to have a casual date?

If so, what is your favorite establishment (and where is it)?

Eating at Aunt Bea's house! She made the best pies!

Then the best was bending her over the table in the kitchen and pounding away like it was the series finale!!

Why not a "watering hole" ON the waterfront?
I enjoy "fine dining" BUT...
it is always nice IMO to mix life up a bit.

I personally LOVE a place called Old Key Lime House in Lake Worth.
It's casual, clean, has good food, a gorgeous view, ocean breeze
& it's INTERESTING too.
It is an actual house from looooong ago
& they have things to see & read about it.

... maybe we will go visit one of these days
