Bell’s Fishery in Mackinaw City- Holiday weekend started today for Deb and I . Because I have to wait for the paint on the tractor hood to dry we decided to take off for Mackinaw for lunch today . We had a Mackinaw Pasty . That is still our favorite stop for lunch and has been for over 40 years. They just popped them out of the oven and they were delicious , yum !!
After we ate we had a family meeting and both of us agreed to head up to the Soo Locks to do a little ship watching. Very little traffic yet on the roads yet and it was a perfect boat watching day .
As we heading back towards Gaylord we stopped back in Mackinaw City and bought some fresh whitefish for tonight for supper.
Bell’s Fishery has been around for over 60 years . We used to stop here to get smoked fish but have never stopped for fresh fish. We took our cooler with us thinking we might be buying fish . We also bought some smoked whitefish and that was excellent.
I just finished helping Deb fry up the fish and it was excellent . Got plenty left for the freezer for several more meals on some cold fall night.
It was a perfect 1st day of our Labor Day Weekend staying home. The next two days a million tourists will head north to camp and have fun one last weekend before school starts. Now in our 60’s life isn’t the same as we both got those aches and pains every morning . But we are very positive and we hop up and hobble to try to put our shoes n and off we go on our morning walk, ha,ha.
The best thing about getting up everyday is getting to spend one more day with my best friend in the whole world. Deb is still a lot of fun and I still thank God for bringing her into my life all those years ago.
Have a fun and safe Holiday Weekend
