Our umbrella twirled in a gust of wind
as houseboats floated by on Mara Lake.
Tree branches swayed and begonias fluttered their faces,
flirting with the clouds.
My veggie burger arrived with a fresh gust of country music
and a raspberry vinaigrette side salad.
Our friendly server talked about educational options in Alberta and Ontario.
Other guests discussed a chance meeting with a token turtle
as though it had mystic importance.
The view was amazing, the food was tasty
and the service was exceptional. L.
The music here is pretty serious country, "Shotgun Girl" and "Tonight I'm gonna love you like there's no tomorrow". We choose a table and then change immediately when we realize the magnificent view of Mara Lake is obstructed by a wooden railing. I order a chicken caesar wrap from the waitress who wears her various service paraphernalia on a bejewlled belt, snuggly strapped around her hips. It's a slow day. Most of the tables are empty. The wind picks up and spins the large umbrellas at each table. D.
