It's the weekend

The 4th of July weekend and National Cherry Festival activities are keeping us kind of busy or at least as busy as we want to be.  Saturday Leo showed up at our door.  We had talked earlier in the week and I knew that he was thinking of coming up on his motorcycle.  The reception wasn't that good on the phone so I really didn't hear that he was planning to come on Saturday but we were home with very few plans for the day.  I was in the middle of cleaning and welcomed the chance to stop.  Bud continued his lawn work for a while and then came in and cleaned up.  There was an air show in the afternoon so we went over to the Yacht Club for a 'brat' and watched the show.  The Blue Angels aren't here this year so it wasn't the 'military' show that we see when they are here. 

 The weather was nice but hot in the sun so we found our place in the shade and just relaxed for a while.  After the airshow we came back to the house and all took naps, the hot sun and the beer just called for a Saturday afternoon nap. 

After refreshing ourselves we headed downtown for dinner and then to the movies.  This week we did a 'chick flick'.  Bud and I have both wanting to see Midnight in Paris so we warned Leo that it wouldn't be an action movie.  I LOVED the movie.  It was fun to see it so soon after having gone to Paris.  The scenery was nice and familiar.  It was kind of like reliving the trip some times.  I also LOVED the message of the movie.  It is a very good movie.  Now the guys didn't love it as much as I did but they did like it quite a bit. 

After the movie we decided that we needed ice cream so we drove out to our local ice cream place, Moomers, which won the Today Show prize for the best ice cream a couple of years ago.  The line was long even at 9:30 but we enjoyed our cones. 

 This morning Leo said he could stay a while and help Bud with chores so I was asked to make breakfast.  I had a few supplies in the refrigerator, eggs, English muffins, and fruit salad.  A pretty good breakfast for not planning. 

Then the guys went to work out on the garage.  Bud wanted to install two lights on the side of the garage so Leo helped.  I just took them some drinks (sodas because they are using power tools) and they continue to find little things to work on.  The lights look great and Leo is a willing helper.  The two of them will take a motorcycle ride later this afternoon.  Most likely Bud will go south with Leo toward Cadillac and then turn around and Leo will continue on his own. 

 I am always glad that Leo likes to come up and visit.  This is the 3rd weekend in a row that we have spent together.  The shop where he works will be down for some kind of mechanical work for the next 2 weeks but since he is salary he has to go in anyway.  He will be working days for the next 2 weeks and then back on nights.  They are planning a lot of work for a few months so I probably won't see much of him for a while unless I go down there. 

I hope you all have a good 4th of July weekend.  I haven't heard if Eva made it to Iowa but for those of you that don't know, she was planning to spend the next week or so with David's family and out at the cottage for some relaxing time. 

I love you all and hope you have some fun activities planned.
