Monday - August 19

Strong winds out of the north....Mark ran some errands and brought back coffees and a piece of Farmer's quiche to share along with grapes from Coffee Express and I added a fresh peach to make a delicious breakfast.   

Much cooler today and all week long, only in the 70's - not typical weather for August.   Long pants, jeans feel good!

Mark watched and hung out with the guys as 2 big boats were lifted out today - one for bottom wash and paint and the other will be trucked to KY (57') - yikes!

We had lunch and then left for Toledo around 1:00.   Stopped at Costco for a few things.   I had a 4:00 appt. for a facial at Massage Envy which was just across the parking lot from Costco.    Margarita did a wonderful job and a big thanks to Anne, Liam and Connor (Mother's Day gift).    I was truly in La La Land!  😂

3 years ago on August 24, 2021, we came to Toledo to celebrate the 53rd anniversary of our engagement and ate at Mancy's Steakhouse (#1 in Toledo).   It was wonderful and we decided to go back.....another awesome meal in this 103-year old establishment full of charm with brick walls and arches, Tiffany lampshades over the tables, etc.    Sandy, our waitress was great and they were very busy for a Monday night.

Top-notch!!!

On home and along the way, we chatted with Liam who will leave tomorrow with Anne for Iowa City and begin his sophomore year.   He's excited, the car is packed and off they go.

Connor checked in after we got home - he had his first day of classes and all went well +  putting practice with his team.   So proud of these boys and their enthusiasm - love hearing all about their new lifestyle!   Patrick would be bursting his buttons!!!

This trip to Toledo today went MUCH better than almost a year ago (8/24/23) when we were driving towards Toledo (enroute to our nephew's wedding in Cedarburg, WI) when I had the bad kidney stone attack and we returned to Port Clinton.
