So my friends and family can be up on life here in GR

Yellow Sweatshirt Weekend


Are you ready?!  Tomorrow starts the busy fall season officially, but before that all starts here's a recap on my last hurrah of summer it was SO great and relaxing

Friday night Linds met us at Port Traverse - remember, when you see Sugarbeach, brake and put your blinker on! :)

Mani - Pedis!
Saturday we slept in, went for a run (despite gale force winds!), did nails, watched US Open tennis, then headed for the outlets and Target.  A stop by Jets and we were home, ready for and evening of tennis, a bon voyage to Lindsay, walks to the movie store, Walgreens and Speedy!

mmm Jets!
All three girls!
Sunday brought more sleeping in, a brisk mid morning walk, lunch and cat naps on the couch, reading, US Open, biking downtown, Cherry Republic, the marina, detour to a park and the senior center.  In the evening we watched movies and stretched our Culinary prowess!


It was Yellow sweatshirt day!

Monday (the Day I did not Labor!), more running, more tennis, more cat napping, more culinary adventures, more movies on TV, more Speedy and the one and only trip to Don's Drive-In for the summer!  

Home of the Big D!


 It was a Bogolicious weekend and I'm so thankful for a friend like her! :)  Here's a few bonus shots from the weekend - 

Heaven on Earth?  Quite Possibly.
You've got a friend in me Bogo! :)  love ya!
When I got home Sarizzle and Annizzle were practically knocking on my door!  So good to see them, I'm glad we got to spend some time together this weekend too.

Whew!  And we're off!  Happy Fall Season Friends!

The Lunch Bunch

The Linds is having her birthday this week, so over the weekend we all met in the middle, or Cadillac, for a birthday lunch at Ruby Tuesdays!  It was yum and fun!  Here are a few photos -


Taking the ferry to Mackinaw?

The question of the day is: Where does grandma V get her never ending supply of Victoria's Secret bags?! 

Tomorrow night Mystery Sizzler at church!  Should be a gooooood time!

Happy Tuesday Friends!

Beach Day

On Saturday I went with our Youth Ministry on an outing to the beach.  We couldnt have asked for better weather!  The water is a little cooler now, but still very swimable and wonderful!  Just one more proof that Michigan is the absolute best in the summer, no doubt about it! :)



We had a great time, boys went too...mia for pictures though! 

Today Mom, Dad, gma, gpa and I went to Cadillac to meet Marv and Linds for lunch to celebrate Linds' birthday!  More to come on that!

Happy Sunday!

I am Betsy Ross

Just call me the Yankee Doodle Dandy - or something very Americana!  
Tonight I rode my red bike, played tennis with my bogo, wore pearl earring studs, heard and saw the sounds and sites of high school football, and got ice cream at a little local stand!

Have a great weekend friends!

When the Lights Go Out

BLOCKPARTY!

Sometime between Sunday night and Tuesday morning our neighborhood lost power.  No biggie right?  Well it was still out Tuesday evening when I got home.  So after a bike ride to dinner, we had a driveway block party!  Everyone on the Cul-de-sac came out! 


It was so throw back and great!

Happy Wednesday!
