What happened to SUMMER already?!

Can someone please get in touch with Mother Nature and let her know we're due for Summer?! So, we thought we'd have a nice weekend outside, doing stuff around the house, in the garage - that kind of thing. Hmm, rain Friday, overcast and blah yesterday and of course spitty rain and clouds today! GREAT Summer weekend!!
We did some tinkering around inside, which was good. Heck, watching the Lions play last night it was like it was Fall already - I think we both had jeans and pull overs on!
Today my friend Suz had her Entertaining at Home Party. The Theme was Fiesta.....of course, I had no 'fiesta' wear.......but my spicy friend Amy was the life of the party!

Hope you had a great weekend!

People....

So I think we both had a good laugh today. We stopped at the grocery store today to pick up a few things (and of course forgot Milk & Sour Cream - DOH!). Anyway, we THOUGHT the weather was supposed to be nice all day - not quite the story. As we're walking out of store, it starts raining. No biggie, it was relatively warm (high 70's low 80's). We get to the car, get the groceries into the car and get inside. . . . it starts raining harder. And then out of no where here comes the headless parking lot lady - Okay, she wasn't headless, but we couldn't actually see her head past the plastic bag she had over it.
Weren't we told as kids growing up that plastic bags don't belong over your head?
Just a little chuckle for the day!
Happy Weekend!

Happy Anniversary!

It's hard to believe that it's been 6 years since our unforgettable wedding!
Where were you when the lights went out?

Summer has arrived!!

Nice that summer is finally here, even though it's AUGUST!

We've been keeping busy around here. We got to spend some time with Glen's mom, cousin Geanine, Johnny and Claire (my summer pen pal) last Thursday! What a terrific day we had! We met up at Great Lakes Crossing and walked the mall. We got little Johnny a new pair of tennies and looked for a book bag for Claire for school. The part that we all really had fun with was spending some time in the Bass Pro Shop (I think that was the one). If you've ever been in one of these shops, you know what I'm talking about. If not, picture this, little ponds, a huge fresh water fish tank - like 8 or 10 feet tall. Yah, that huge. They had tents and ATV's, boats, live ducks, live fish, stuffed wild life. And the part that made this so fun was walking through it with a 2 year old who was fascinated by everything! Between Johnny & Claire, they sure made it a fun time.

Believe it or not, these little ducks are real.Claire, Johnny & mom were looking at the little pond with the ducks.Now, THAT'S a FISH!A boy on a mission!There was a fish in this tank that I swear was 5' long!And this was a play area the kids played - it was cool even for big kids!!Of course, no play area is complete without a carousel.
After our extensive walking through the Pro shop and the mall, we met Glen at The Rain Forest Cafe for lunch. Now, I'd never been there, but what a really neat place. The ambiance was super cool - 'thunderstorms' ever 30 minutes, wild life that moved and looked real. It was very cool (even to the adults!). Over the weekend, we enjoyed some serious rain on Saturday - ALL DAY and on Sunday, we enjoyed the arrival of summer - FINALLY! 95* and sunshine. Nice that it finally arrived! We ended up spending the day at our friends pool. A great way to wrap up the weekend. So, that's life at the Kantina lately. We hope that you're enjoying your summer!
