Father's Day & A Busy Monday

All the boys showed up for Father's Day to see their Dad. Rob took Bud golfing on Thursday, he got a gift certificate from Scott and Steve bought pizza for supper for us. Dakota made Bud the cutest card. We sure have nice kids...
Today I had to go to the dentist, get my nails done, get license plates on motorhome,go to insurance office, ordered all the breakfast sandwiches for the rally and paid for 51 tickets to the Mud Hens. Bob and Ruth are camped in our back yard so I fixed dinner for everyone. Then we played Mexican Train. I am truly pooped. It is time for me to go to bed. Tomorrow is another day...

Friday Night on Lake Erie

We went with Pam, Dave, Eva and Bill and some of their friends from the Edison for a night out at a restaurant on Lake Erie. We hadn't been to this place in years but years ago it was a very nice place. Well, we got there and followed the signs to the restaurant upstairs overlooking the lake. A person came out and said, "The restaurant is closed but the bar downstairs is open." So we went to the bar to wait for the other people. Now I am not an uppity woman but oh my God, it was nasty. It had a cement floor and the toilets were porta-johns outside. To make matters worse everything was covered with mayflies, which to some of you that don't know what they are, they are big flying insects that only live for one day and at a certain time of year they cover everything by the lake. The mayflies are proof that Lake Erie is alive and well but they are a big nuisance. They get so thick on the streets that sometimes they have to use snowplows to remove them. They only last a week or two but I don't like bugs. The waitress came over and asked us if we wanted to eat and that they had some steaks they could thaw out. UGH....I don't think so...
Needless to say we left there and went to really nice place across from Pearson Park. I had an excellent fillet and Bud had walleye. It sure is a shame that the restaurant on the lake just couldn't make a go of it. There was also a house that has the mean lean there. We took some pictures, I don't know what happened to make it collapse in the canal. At first we thought that was the restaurant. Ha Ha...But we had a nice evening regardless of few problems.

Lazy Days

Today was just one of those days when you don't feel like doing anything. Rob took Bud golfing for Father's Day and then we went to Toledo to take Bud's dad a pie for Father's Day. We stopped at Sautter's in Sylvania and I finally found my slider buns for the small hamburgers like they have in restaurants. They even had the small hamburgers all made up. They were really good.
I have sold 47 tickets to the Mud Hens game next Thursday night so we will almost fill a bus all by ourselves. I sure hope the weather holds and the people all have a good time.We will be catching the bus at the Meijer's store on Alexis Rd. so we can park all of our cars there. I have three tickets left if anyone is interested.
Tomorrow I have to get busy and do somethings around here. No more lazy days for me...

Megan's Graduation Party

Megan had her graduation party today and it was a huge success. Lots of people, food and fun. We had lots of laughs and got to see family and friends we hadn't seen in a long time.The weather was beautiful and Scott and Evelyn have their house fixed up really nice. The log siding looks wonderful.
But it was a long day and I am tired. Played two games of scrabble with Pam and whipped her butt again today. That makes four in a row.

Garage Sale Days

Having a garage sale is alot of work. But I got rid of all my paper scrapbooking supplies,lots of junk that I didn't need and the rest is being donated to a little boy to sell to raise money to go to scout camp. I just want it out of here.
You would be surprised at what people buy, they pass up the real nice things and buy the junk. Oh well, now I will help Pam with her sale. I might even find some more items to sell.We had great weather for a sale. But we sure didn't have the shoppers that we usually have.
I just checked on the Monroe County Fair Schedule for this year and I don't see any name entertainment. I didn't see any at the Adrian County Fair either. I know the economy is bad but they have always had great entertainers.
Tomorrow is Megan's party so we will see folks we haven't seen in awhile. Scott and Evelyn have the perfect party house, big deck and yard and the weather is suppose to be great.
Well, I am tired and Bud is watching reruns of NCIS again, and again, and again. Oh happy day....

Rain Again Today

Well, it was cloudy and rainy again today. So we used the day to go get supplies for the food I have to cook for Megan's party. We also went to see the inlaws. They sure are getting along good for being 87 years old. We should all be so lucky.
Tomorrow is garage sale day so we have to get up early, get our signs out and put stuff outside if it ever quits raining. It is suppose to be nice and sunny however, for two whole days.
Jean and Jerry Wessel stopped over to look at our garage sale items, sold our first five dollars worth, yeahh...
Pam and I just played scrabble. She beat me twice, I had terrible letters.
Well, got to go to bed early tonight...

A Lazy Day

It was just a lazy day here at the Kohn house. I am recovering from my tooth removal so I just kind of laid around and read,played on the computer and cooked. I don't know why I cooked, I can't eat much.
Bud just stayed in the house today too and worked on his jigsaw puzzle. If I would have known it would have kept him so occupied I would have gotten it out earlier. It has been in the cupboard unopened for years...It is fifteen hundred pieces so it is going to take him awhile.
Tonight I will just work on my scrapbooking pages and play scrabble with Pam and Dave on the computer. Dave did pretty well for his first time, I think we have created a monster...

Went to Dentist Today

Went to the dentist today, had to have two teeth pulled, old root canals that had broken off up in my gums. Oh happy day, it wasn't too pleasant at all. Now I have to have three more pulled and a permanent bridge put in or I will have to resort to granny teeth and I am way too young for that. So I can't eat too many things for about six or eight weeks. I better stock up on some soup..I had to get it done as Chrysler has cut off our dental insurance as of July 1. Everyday we go deeper in the dumpster.
I worked on my garage sale this morning but now I have taken a Vicodan and it puts me to sleep so I am on my way to the couch...

Golf at Cottonwood in Sylvania

Worked on my garage sale stuff again today. I sure hope it doesn't rain.
We golfed today at Cottonwood in Sylvania. It was a nice course and we had a good time. I didn't do very well but at least I am trying. I did however get over the water and that is a plus.
We went out to eat at City Barbeque on Central. It was very good and very filling. Good ribs, chicken and corn pudding.
By the time we ate I was exahusted, I felt my whole body shut down, I needed a nap in the worse way. So both of us came home and crashed. TV is terrible. We have 102 stations and not a thing on any of them.
I played three games of scrabble with Pam and I did as well there as I did on the golf course but at least it didn't cost me any money.

A Beautiful Saturday in Michigan-Finally

It was beautiful here today, not too warm but nice and sunny. I spent the morning getting ready for my garage sale. I sure hope I have some customers.
This afternoon we met Pam, Dave and Eva and Bill and had dinner at the Olive Garden. You can tell the economy is bad, no waiting for six people. The dinner was excellent. Then we went to a party at some guy that Dave and Bill know from Toledo Edison. He lives in the Old West End and his house is awesome. They don't built houses like that anymore.
Tomorrow we are all going golfing, can't wait...

I Am Back

Well, I am back from Florida again. We flew down to do Pam's plumbing and Bud worked very hard to get it done. He worked and me and Pam played. I mean we did all the running to Lowe's for pipe and appliances but in between we hit it hard. We went to the square, to the pool, gambling, played Mexican Train, had birthday parties, ate out, went to digital scrapbooking, Michigan Club, Ohio Club, visited with the neighbors and drank pina coladas. I wore her out. My friends had us over for dinners and just were wonderful. She loved it.
Our dear neighbor passed away from a brain tumor on Saturday. He was a peach and will be missed by all.
Our other neighbors let us use their Lincoln Towne Car while we were there. I could get used to that very easyly.
Megan graduated this Sunday so we attended that. She only had 34 students in her class so to make it last longer they showed a power point presentation of each kid from when they were little to the present. It was cute. I sure hope she goes to college now.
Today and yesterday I worked on my garage sale stuff. Boy do I have the junk. Jen and Dakota came and helped and we really hauled out the stuff. Now if I can just sell it. One thing I know for sure, it is not coming back in....
