Sightseeing with the Falkoffs Part 2

Returning from Clinton, we stopped at the Falcoff’s house for a quick visit with Merlin Cohen, former Union City Dentist who now lives, coincidentally, in Arizona. After retiring, Merlin started a second career as a sculptor. His work will soon be exhibited in a Scottsdale Art Gallery and I am looking forward to it there soon.

Then I had a wonderful treat, an old fashioned, southern fried catfish dinner complete with hush puppies, slaw, homemade apple sauce, fried okra and iced tea. In front of a pond, surrounded by a fruit orchard, Flippens Hungry Hillbilly Restaurant is as quaint and down home as could be. The food was perfect and unfortunately we were just too stuffed to have their specialty dessert—fried pies. I bought several jars of their homemade, sugar-free preserves to enjoy at home and give as gifts.

What a great day! And the Saturday night reunion party was still to come.
