Tuesday - July 19

 HAPPY 9th BIRTHDAY, BLAIR

Big day for Miss Priss

After 6 grandsons, we were thrilled to welcome Blair, our first granddaughter on July 19, 2013 and what a joy she has been.   Her imagination and constant chatter using the big words expressing herself are fun and mind boggling!    With 3 older brothers, this one can certainly hold her own.    She loves to dance, make up stories, is sooo into anything "Pusheen", the color pink and a real sweetheart!

We were off at 6:45 for Cleveland to pick up Marilyn who flew from O'Hare and will be with us till Saturday.    Stopped at Starbucks (Marilyn LOVES her coffee) and then to the Rock 'n Roll Hall of Fame.    Mark and I toured this last year and thought Marilyn would really enjoy, too.....and that she did!    Great fun hearing all the oldies and especially the American Bandstand tribute to all the legends with Dick Clark!!!

We had lunch at Nuevo Mexican and sat outside under the covered roof....good food and margaritas (Marilyn and me).    

Cheers!    Welcome!
Delicious refreshing peach margarita

We had a fun facetime chat on the way home with the birthday girl - she's having a family party tonight and friends are coming Saturday.

Back to Catrina and played Rummikube (Marilyn won 2x) and 3-handed euchre (Mark won)!    Since we had a big lunch, decided ice cream was in order on this hot day/evening.    We walked to RJ's for dishes of butter pecan (Marilyn and Mark) and moose tracks (me).   Walked around downtown but really warm so on home at 6:45.

Lots of these pretty flowers (bush) downtown in black pots
(they have exploded in the last few days)
Anyone know what they are?

Philip's friend flew into Put in Bay today - here's a beautiful aerial view!!!

Marilyn got up at 2:20 AM for the drive to O'Hare with 2 sisters, Joan and Karen.
She was off to dreamland early tonight.
