On a visit to Miami to see my husband’s Aunt, we went to one of our favorite restaurants, Joe’s Stone Crab. Aunt Anne has been going there over 50 years.
As we were served our plate of gorgeous stone crabs she said to us enthusiastically, “this is one of the best days of my life.”
A comment that renewed my belief that best days can last a lifetime and many will be over a good, restorative meal.
Revitalized at Joe’s, Miami
And, now at 97, Aunt Anne still loves her stone crabs… the moral of the story?
Eat at Joe’s!

I have always been drawn to hands – her little gnarled hands have cracked many of Joe’s crabs thru the years and brought her joy! You captured a moment that will long be remembered on many fronts! Glad to finally meet her! Lind
