When I last visited the cottage I mentioned my new, all cream, ice cream recipe and David requested a taste. So Friday I made a new batch and took it over for approval. Everyone loved it and it was a great way to spend a very hot evening in Traverse City
David said that he 'over indulged' that evening but he is young and can probably burn off those calories in a short time.
Sue decided to get out a puzzle and attempt to get it done in one evening. She is pretty fast but I heard later that she didn't quite succeed. The Tigers were on in the background and some of the kids helped with the puzzle.
Brittany was home for the weekend. We had some great discussions about her medical training. She is in her first rotation with a family practice doctor and learning lots every day.
Ringo, Jack and Charlotte just relaxed around the big red sofa. It is a great place for the family to gather and relax.
Saturday evening we had tickets to Garrison Kiellor's Prairie Home Companion radio show. We are regular listeners on public radio and it was fun to take a 'tailgate' dinner with friends and then watch the show. Yes, it is still fun to 'watch' a radio show being produced. We were live and on the air. Eva sent me a text because she was listening somewhere and wondered if we were there watching.
The show as over by 8:00 so we were able to rush over to the cottage again to help celebrate the engagement of Brittany and John. It was a chance to meet John's parents who live in Ludington and for the two families to get to know each other in a beautiful setting. They are a beautiful couple in more ways than one. John is in his last year of law school and Brittany has 2 more years of medical school. They will be married next summer.
Charlotte, the hostess and best sister, two such beautiful young women.
Finally, David wanted to show off his sunburn. He and his girlfriend, Danielle, went downtown to the airshow and forgot to take sunscreen. How could the son of a dermatologist forget?
Cherry Festival started yesterday so town is full of MANY tourists. It is the season of traffic problems for Traverse City. We locals, always have to be on our toes to watch out for people that don't know where they are going and/or how to get there. That is the price we must pay for living in such a beautiful place. I am thankful for all the beauty surrounding this area, including the beauty of family and great ice cream.
