Hi, thought it was time to give a little update of last weekend.
It was a success. The weather was wonderful, nice an warm on Sat. so we could have fun in the water, and a bit cooler on Sunday so we could sit outside all day in beautiful non humid sunshine. Sat. night was our "Detroit Tiger" theme dinner for my Mom's 80th birthday. We had ribs and chicken and had the tent outside all decorated with Tiger paraphernalia. We gave her a Tiger banner to hang up wherever she is watching the games. We watched them win that night. So fun to all be together.
Sunday we had a pigroast. My crazy brothers got up at 3am to put the apple in the mouth, grapes in the eyes and start it roasting. It was delicious and we had plenty with a 100 lb. pig. We had about 50 relatives and friends, and even some "up north" neighbors came over. Dessert was ice cream sundaes with all the toppings and homemade brownies. We had a wonderful program lead by an old friend from the Grosse Pointe Christian Day School days, Jim VW. He played the guitar, sang, taught us fun songs, we did skits, people told stories about Mom and Dad and we gave them a framed Tribute signed by us 4 kids. My sister Krista read a beautiful writing that touched on all the things we are thankful for from our parents. She did a great job putting this together.
The little kids couldn't get enough Gator rides and pushes on the swing from Great Grandpa.
I was so grateful to feel pretty good throughout the whole weekend.
I did work 4 hours last Tues. and it went good. I didn't feel my best that day, but did get through it. I am singed up to go in Next Tues and do it again. I also signed up to teach two Saturday expectant parent classes. It was good to be back and work with my co-workers again.
We head back up north tomorrow to attend a wedding in Petosky on Sat. afternoon.
We are so happy to hear the good news of our friend Kent's results of his recent PET scan. It shows that the chemo is working, little to no glow. He will soon have surgery to remove half of his liver.
Hang in there Kent, we are praying for you!
I am sad the Tigers lost today. I was used to them winning with a 6 game winning steak.
Have a great weekend and enjoy the rain, I am.
Sounds like you had an awesome weekend! Glad you can get back to work.
