WEEKEND FUN ~ ~ ~

 Well ~ this, actually, all took place the weekend before last!  We had friends, Vivian & Lou, up for the day and as we were driving around, this visual feast for the eyes was sitting at a local waterside pub ~ just waiting for me to take it's picture!!!  Isn't this the craziest thing?  I loved it and knew you would, too!  Click on it to see all the fun things that make up what looks like a parade float!!  But I think it was some guy's car!!!!!!

There was also a sailboat regatta that day ~ this picture is pretty far away but if you click on it, you can see what a beautiful sight those sailboats made!

This was our glass collection from that weekend ~ pretty good haul, wasn't it? See all the lucky stones in the middle?  I just got some bracelet blanks and I'm going to try my hand at jewelry making ~ just like so many others are doing these days!  Almost every craft or art show you go to, is overrun with jewelry ~ mine will be just for fun!  If it works out, I'll show you some pictures!!!

Just in case, someone in the area of Port Clinton is looking for a fine leather chair and ottoman ~ here it is!!  It's a long story (all of mine are) , but we replaced the upstairs sofa and loveseat ~  the chair didn't match the new set (of course) so we HAD to buy the chair that goes with them!  At any rate, this one is in the lower level ~ hardly ever has anyone sat on it ~ and we're selling it  and putting the upstairs mis-matchy chair in it's place.   Email me ~  gfraizer@neo.rr.com ~ IT'S JUST LIKE NEW!!!! 

Last weekend, we stayed home to gather with Sonny's family in honor of his brother, Paul.  They had a bonfire and pot-luck at their farm ~ like they would do on so many occasions ~ and friends and family were together to comfort his wife and kids ~ and each other.  It was sad but also Paul would have loved it ~ he was with us in spirit!

We are off for a four-day weekend ~ unheard of for us!  Tad will be staying with his sitter for part of the weekend, while we have overnight guests.  Yesterday, I took him out to lunch and shopping for cd's and dvd's ~ his favorite thing to do ~ because he hadn't been out in so long and I thought he needed a change of pace.  On the way home, I asked him "did you have a good day?"  He said " yes ~ it's 'kiss up' Wednesday"!  I said 'what does that mean?'  He says, in all his wisdom " Thursday, you go to the lake ~ Wednesday, I go shopping ~ that's 'Kiss Up' Wednesday"!!!!!!!!!!  I laughed all the way home!!!!!!!!!  He may be developmentally challenged but he's pretty darn smart and pretty darn funny!!!!!!!! 

I hope somebody's 'kissing up' to you today!!!!!!  Have a good weekend ~
