Just lazy

Ok, I am not really lazy but just haven't gotten back in the 'grove' about blogging.  
 I went to the Ann Arbor Art Fair a little over a week ago.  Kathy and I keep trying to remember how many years we have been going to the Art Fair but really can't nail it down.  I just know that it is about 30 years and MANY rings ago.  This year was a real treat because the weather was wonderful.  The temps were in the 60s and 70s and it was a little overcast.  To know how great this was you have to have attended over the years when the temps were in the 90s and all kinds of weather conditions from rain to tornadoes to just HOT.  All the artists and art fair attendees were thrilled at this wonderful weather.
We always arrive early, sometimes before the booths even open but it is the only way to get a good parking spot within walking distance of the fair.
 Kathy always buys a vegetable or fruit from this lady.  It is our first stop.
 After a long day of shopping we always have dinner at our favorite restaurant but this year we had a bit of a problem.  Sava's had moved from the downtown location so we had to get out our phones and find the new location.  We couldn't miss the traditional vegetarian meal so we hunted them down and had dinner.
I couldn't miss buying my usual ring or two.  This is the one that I was able to bring home with me.  I ordered another one that had to be made bigger. This stone is an iolite, the other ring has a smoky quartz or at least that is what I can remember.  
This past week we joined some friends  for a wine tasting dinner at a beautiful golf course over on Lake Michigan.  The food was terrific and the wine was very tasty.  This tasting trip involved a small bus that took several couples over to the event so no one had to drive.  


After dinner we went out and watched the sun set over the golf course.  It was a fun evening.  

 Friday I joined Brittany and Charlotte in a morning of cooking.  Charlotte was making pies for her friend David's Open House and I offered to help them make some of those wonderful Disappearing Marshmallow brownies. They were a success at the Open House that evening which we attended.
 Saturday we went sailing.  Brittany and John are here for a week and are both on vacation. It was a little chilly on the water but the wind was nice (only the main was out so we were lazy sailors but at least we were comfortable)

 Everyone had a great time.
 I even had someone take my picture since I am rarely on my own blog.
After sailing we went to a cute little downtown attraction called Little Fleet.  This is where the food trucks park just outside the bar called Little Fleet.  You can go in and order your drink and then go out and get a variety of food from the various food trucks. It looks a little empty because a big rainstorm interrupted our dinner and we had to move under the awing.  
It is T.C.'s way of regulating the growing food truck industry.  It was our first experience there and we will try it again.

SO, as you see, I have been busy just not documenting my activities.  I will try to do a better job of doing entries more often.
