I’m sorry I can’t make it to your meet up and get together in Newark. Did ya know I was from Newark, Delaware. ? We are Newark guys! I was surprised you got hush puppies and corn bread, they all usually only give ya one or the other with southern take out? Because it’s a similar taste? ** Congratulations on havin’ two grandchildren there grandpa ! Love to your family from me! Do you have a long John silvers up there or a Captain D’s seafood? Those two are both fast food seafood places with drive-through‘s?! Can you try one of them out for me and compare it to the local mom and pop seafood places that have shrimp, hush puppies, and that make fried fish? It would be fast foodVS. locally owned mom and Pop business?! October weather is coming soon, enjoy the cool air and changing leaves on the trees! 🌳 ❤
