Weekend at the Cottage

J & I spent a delightful weekend at our close friends (G&L) cottage with their 2 Goldens. We drove through a monsoon on Saturday but when we arrived the rains had mostly stopped. After a lovely lunch we went to Pentwater and did some sights.

J found a couple of items and 1 found a great book on Army Cavalry Regiments. The women drove in L's Mazda Miata convertible while we manly types rode in the Juicemobile. Dinner was at a great little restaurant in Hart called La Fiesta.

On our way home we stopped at a little drag racing dirt strip. We watched a few races and some of the "vehicles" got up to 90+ mph in 100 yards. It was hard to figure out the handicap system though. We finally were driven off by the coolness of the evening and the mosquitoes.

Today we walked along the lakeshore and picked up a few stones and some interesting driftwood. The amount of trash to me was sad only in what we saw: balloons; shotgun shell wads; broken toys; hundreds of plastic items.

We spent time just visiting and had a leisurely din-sup and then left for home.

We stopped for Ice Cream and arrived home safe and sound.

I mowed the lawn while J unloaded the Juicemobile.

The cats were both happy to see us as they were hungry.

A great weekend.
