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!

Out West; Up North

I told you I was going fishing and to visit Melissa over the weekend - it was a great time for sure!

Friday night Kari and I headed out to Grand Haven to fish off her Uncle Don's boat.  We were out for over 3 hours and only managed to reel in 2 fish!   It was a little bit slow, but fun!

K and Me - heading out to sea

Reeling this baby in!

Kiss a lot of fish?

My Delish Fish!

Saturday I drove up to Traverse City and visited my college roommate Melissa!  We had a lot of fun poking through downtown, shopping and chatting.  It was so good to catch up with her and see her family too!

Lunch at Amical!

More to come soon, but we had a power outage and therefore a neighborhood block party! 

And here's something to think about - I think gangs are getting soft; the other day I saw Fred Flintstone graffitied on a rail car - really?  Fred Flintstone to prove yourself?!  weak.

Have a great week friends!
