Blog time 1530 sitting at dining room table

Yes folks another nice sunny day in GR. We all slept in today. Nancy did not go to MVP. I did calisthenics at home and took a walk around the block before breakfast.

Before going to Boulder Ridge Animal Farm I drove to Panera for coffee. Boulder Ridge opens at 1000. We drove in at exactly 1000 and the parking lot was almost full. Large families made up most of the customers. We spent an enjoyable 2.5 hours at the Farm. The place is very hands on. Kids can pick up the bunnies and feed the hoofed animals including camels and giraffes. AJ especially liked feeding the Parakeets.

Stopped at Meijer’s to get some ice cream and cheese. Missy’s college room mate Adri and her family are visiting later this afternoon and we needed some snacks.

Continue to sweep up glass from our broken deck table. All this sweeping and the upper and lower decks look good.

Adri and her family, husband Zolton and kids Eddie and Eiji arrived at 1600. We spent an enjoyable several hours getting to know this great family. The kids were born in Budapest and only occasionally visit the USA but their English is great. We all took a walk to the ponds in our backyard. The goal was to catch frogs. Thankfully, no luck.

Adri and family are leaving tomorrow to visit Detroit and then spend some time at a cottage on Canada’s Georgian Bay. Georgian Bay is at the northeast corner of Lake Huron. It is a beautiful vacation spot. I got out a map and showed Adri its location and proximity to Alpena.

We had a light dinner. Watched the last episode of Loch Ness. However, no conclusion so we have to wait until next year.
