Sunday - August 24

 We had 3/10" of rain overnight - sure wasn't expecting that.   Port Clinton and surrounding areas have been blessed with plenty of rain - grass/crops all very green and healthy.

We went to 8:00 Mass with Father Jonathan.   To Catrina for breakfast, pump out and  ran several errands.    Back to the marina, started up the engines and went thru the 11:30 bridge.

We arrived in Vermilion at 2 and settled in slip #1 at the Vermilion City Docks with 2 nice guys grabbing our lines.    Got Catrina secure with power and water hooked up and ready to take on this favorite town.    First we had a light lunch.   It is a gorgeous day!

And then went for a nice walk thru this charming town full of lovely homes and spectacular flowers - I wonder if there's some sort of competition for who has the most beautiful gardens/yards?

Congratulations to Liam who finished 1st place in his age division (20-29) this morning in Manchester, IA (Hero Hustle triathlon.)  So proud of him!   He and Connor have really been into the healthy cooking and eating!

Tomorrow, Liam (junior), Brady (sophomore) and Blair (7th) are back to the classroom!   Good luck kiddos - have fun and study hard!

The mums are back - fall is just around the corner

Today is the 57th anniversary of our engagement.   Mark proposed on August 24, 1968.    We celebrated tonight with a fabulous dinner at Chez Francois in Vermilion.   This is a special occasion place and just phenomenal in ambiance, service and food!   Our 3rd time to dine here over the years.
