Since then...
Since last you've seen us...
We went to a Detroit Tiger's home game for free when the Tampa Bay Devil Rays were in town, for what started out as just another reason to eat Brats. And turned into us leaving around the 6th inning for fear that my darling prego would turn into a mommy-sicle. Tigers won 6-4, watched the end of the game from under a blanket on the couch...
We were in Saugatuck, MI for Memorial Day for C's family reunion, where there was a copious amount of wine being enjoyed. Both good and bad... Lets just say, 'The Norton' varietal from the well known vineyards of Missouri were of the later. Some of the slogans for the Norton wine, as thought up by C's family were as follows. 'Norton, There's always some left.' 'Norton, It'll take the varnish off.' 'Norton, If I wasn't pregnant, I might even think about trying some...'
On the way back to the D, we stopped in G.R. for some much needed QT with the Kingsley's. And quality it was, as we tested some of The King's home brews. The first was a nice blood orange pale ale, very nice flavors with a hint of citrus, not an overpowering orange 'BROberon' fruitiness. The second was a cherry wheat, made with tart cherries. Again, the finish was smooth, with a subtle cherry flavor... Very good indeed. After that, we tried a 'Hopslam' Clone, a peach ale, and a hazelnut stout, which, with the exception of the stout were all delicious. Can't wait for the next batch, a Sun Tea Ale... May the Tesh be with you...
C's been rockin' it at the Salon, doing events for Royal Oak High School, as well as a private Catholic school fundraiser. She came home with a wonderful story about a little old Armenian woman that came in. Ask her about it next time you see her, she'll I'm sure, be happy to share about her time with the 87 year old woman...
I've been riding to work as much as I can, although the 100 degree heat doesn't so much make for a happy day on the even hotter cook line. But, the twelve and a half mile trek makes for a nice 40 minute commute, and an even better workout for the upcoming M22 challenge on the 11th of June.
And two days after the M22 we hope to have some fuzzy screen shots of the belly squatter... SUPER EXCITED about that!! As well all of you should be...
And if you haven't heard already, my not so little, little brother made it safely to Anchorage, AK enjoying his time with his host family. Flew to King Salmon, hitched the Naknek and from what he said, 'Less then ten hours later I was up in a two passenger airplane.' He also said he's going to be working for an airport mechanic until he finds his fishing position... I'll keep you posted as I am...
I'll try to post some recent pics of our travels and what not, but I'm not sure I've completely figured out how to do that straight from my phone... I'll keep trying...
Until then...
