Here we are with a nice sunny day again...we had lots of rain (that was really needed) over the weekend and along with the rain a drop in temperatures..it was 86 yesterday at noon and now it is about 70 degrees.. I have done some laundry  and some and that's about all I've done today..I have been a little lazy doing some reading....still have to go to the store...  So that is the big update here today..hope all of you are having a wonderful Monday!! God Bless!!

Rainy Saturday in Michigan

Well Praise the Lord we are getting rain!! We have been very dry and finally yesterday we woke up to rain and it rained off and on most of the day and now today it's been a steady rain!!
I have been watching the news reports about Hurricane Ike and it is overwhelming to watch..I've been in prayer for those folks that are going through this terrible storm and will continue to pray for them.
Not too much going on today..this week has been a busy one. Monday and Tuesday we were in Amish country in Shipsewana Indiana..for our 51st wedding anniversary which was Sunday the 7th...we went to a Christian Comedian/ventriloquist show on Monday night which was really a lot of fun..had a really nice time at the B & B that we stayed at and on the way home Tuesday made a stop in Ohio at Sauder's Historic Village. Wednesday was sorta a catch up pday here around the house and then Thursday I had lunch with a friend of mine that I use to work with at the center. She treated me to lunch at Applebee's for my birthday..(a little belated but that's ok!) Then Friday my sister took me out for lunch also a belated birthday gift so I have been blessed mightily!!
Well must get busy here..hope you are all having a great weekend..enjoy!!

Beautiful Saturday in September

Hello...it's been a week since I have been here..where does the time go?  Today I have had the privilege of spending the day with 3 of my grandkids..(Ed and Angie (son and daughter in law) are helping her Mom give her stepdad a surprise birthday party)    So I am at their house with the kids as I write this.  We spent part of the day at my house, took them to McDonald's for lunch along with Lori, Megan, and my hubby.  Then about 4:30 we came back here to the house. 

I am watching the Tigers ball game against Minnesota..looking like there is a slight chance the Tigers might win a game..they are ahead by 2 in the 8th inning.  

Well tomorrow is our 51st wedding anniversary..after church hubby and I are leaving for Amish country in Indiana for 2 nights at a Bed and Breakfast..the same one the kids gave us 4 nights at last year for our 50th... I love it down there and this B & B was wonderful so I am really looking forward to going again. 

Here are a couple pictures I took this past week of our deck, backyard and then one of Megan during the band performance today...enjoy..

 

 

 

 

Beautiful Saturday

Wow another gorgeous day in Michigan. Wonderful weather for a holiday weekend.  Well it is college football's kickoff Saturday and as a faithful U of Michigan fan, we are watching the football game with them and Utah..as of the half time Michigan isn't doing too good but I still watch them, win or lose.  They have a new coach this year and it's been known as a rebuilding year...the U of Michigan campus is only about 45 minutes from us.  Outside of watching the game and doing some laundry, it's been a lazy day...just enjoying the nice day.

Good afternoon on this Friday before Labor Day..wow..Fall is on the way..and I am in no hurry!!! Hopefully we have a nice warm and sunny September.

Here is a picture of our grandson and his wife and family...Derek left yesterday morning..deployed to Iraq.

This picture was taken the morning he left..as you can tell his wife Kim is expecting!! baby girl due in November..she will be moving back here with her folks while he is gone.

No big plans for the Labor Day weekend..hopefully the weather will be pleasant and we can grill outside. But no other big plans.

Hope you all have a great weekend!!
