Fathers Day Weekend


We had a mini vacation at the boat and up north this weekend. It began with Clara, Barb and I riding up to the boat and playing dice till the wee hours. Bob arrive shortly after 11. We managed to kill most of a bottle of Margaritas and some munchies Wednesday night. Needless to say the Margaritas did not survive the weekend. Thursday morning Bob Clara and Barb went for a 34 mile bike ride to Lexington and back. We stopped at the mother in law bridge in Croswell and had lunch in Lexington. Bob showed the girls Lexington park.
Friday they went for a bike ride to Forrester and back at about 24 miles. Later that evening Bob and I raced with the sailboat. Since we did not have our sails up yet we were about 45 minutes late to the start. The weather and sailing were wonderful. Saturday we raced again. We had a very poor start so that means there will need to be lots of practice till we get it right.
Saturday we headed up north to see my father for the Fathers Day weekend. He appears to be doing well and was very appreciative of the home cooking. Barb met us up there on Sunday afternoon and showed us her new bike.
I am so looking forward to getting my cast off my foot and getting back into some of the usual activities like bike riding and kayaking. I was so jealous of the rest of the group as they did their rides this weeknd. But enjoyed the games in the evening and was so glad to share a part of the adventure by being the sag wagon. Sister Barb has planned a little kayak trip on the Cass river this Friday and Clara and I plan to join Barb, Kathy, and Steve.
We arrived home about 5:30 and Scott took us to dinner at our favorite resturaunt in the area, Kruse and Muir. Perfect ending to a wonderful weekend. Thank you Scott for making your dad's Fathers day.
