Randy and Lady

Funny story:
T&J stopped by yesterday afternoon and then decided to bring Randy over. Randy is their german shepard pup whose very playful and larger than Lady. She likes him at a distance. He's younger is more playful than Lady's reserve manner. Anyway they've played some (they are on leashes and chains so how much can they play.) After a while Lady lays down and Randy's walking around and found a couple of pieces of her chew bone leftovers and Randy started playing/chewing with one. Lady's not happy now..she's checking him out and getting as close as she dares and reaches the one he's not playing with and grabs it takes it over out of his reach and then leaves it (she didn't want it she just didn't want him to have it) then she walked back over to him and watched him eat the other stick, whinning a little as she watch. He finished it and walks away and she follows him back to the spot he was at then checkout if he left any. Later that night I gave her a fresh new chew treat and she finished it off leaving not a crumb...just in case Randy stopped by later and wanted it I guess..

Great week visiting with Friends

This week went by pretty fast considering it was hot, humid and we had only 30 amp and needed both airs running all the time. But we had friends here and that kept us busy so the time went fast.
Tim and Jean are here this week and their freinds, Pete and Chris are with them. We met them and the six of us hung out some together. We decided to go to the lake and grab a bite to eat one afternoon. We all know that eating at a tourist stop is pricey but we're tourist so we went to Dock's. As the name implys it's docked on the beach with Lake Erie for the view. It was nice and the breeze coming off the water was great. They had a Kobe burger on the menu for 13.00 but that did come with chips and a pickle spear. No one really wanted a burger and I had peel and eat shrimp (no surprise there.) Reid couldn't find anything on the menu to his liking but the daily special showed Jumbo scallops with mixed veggies.. That showed 3 scallops but considering they were jumbo Reid felt that would be fine and he does love scallops.. When the plates arrived everyone had plenty of food except for Reid. he had about a cup of undercooked baby carrots with some wax beans tossed in and the scallops the size of maybe a half dollar. It looked sad in comparison to the undercooked carrots. but Reid did say he had four on his plate not three but we've seen sea scallops larger than those jumbos. We couldn't help but laugh but Reid took it well. Reid doesn't eat undercook veggie so he ate is scallops and then sat and waiting for the rest of us to finish ours. He did require supper later that night.
Oh Friday we went over to T&J and grilled out. Pete and Chris had to leave so it was just the four of us. Today the four of us we're heading into town to check out the groc store for some grilling meats and then to Crosswinds for a late lunch. We tried it earlier in the week and it was good so Tim and Jean want to try it. We're all leaving tomorrow and probally want run into them for a while.

Erie Isles RV Resort

We left Akron and headed over to Port Clinton, OH for the week. We had a good time at the golf tournament but it's a lot of walking for Reid. We decided not to go on Sunday and watch it on tv.
We arrived here at Erie Isle's RV Resort around noon today. We've been to this park once or twice before. The park is nice enough with paved roads for biking and walking. I just hope it's not too hot before I get out each day to walk. Our friends, Tim and Jean arrived yesterday so we'll have fun visiting with them this week. The park is pretty empty right now but will probally fill up during the weekend. It's alot different than the kidfest we just left. I love kids just not 20 or 30 running around at one time. I'm starting to sound like Reid aren't I.

Our miss Lady has a birthday

Yes, Lady turns 6 today..I think that makes her the oldest puppy in the world..I can't think of her as a dog..dogs are older and less fun..she's still lots of fun with her chew treats and stuff animals. She's adorable when she's looking out the windows checking out the chipmucks and squirrels. (oh yes rabbits and birds too). It's adorable till the barking and whinning continues for a while then I have to calm her down or close the curtains. I've been singing happy birthday to her today and yes I heard Reid sing a few notes to her too. Later tonight she's getting a cup cake and an "oinkie" (that's what the package calls them) they are really chew bones.

Day 1: Golf Tournament

This was the first day of the tournament and we had fun. I was just a few feet from the biggest names in the business: Phil, Rory, Boo, and Steve oh yeah, the other one, Tiger. It was great seeing them in person. I'm amazed at how many I recognize these days. Besides phones we can't take in cameras or food and drink so you can imagine we spend a fortune on drinks. The highs was mid 80's and the sunny was out so we kept ourselves hydrated. Regular size pepsi and water was 4.00each.. I can't even admit how much we spent on drinks.. but you have to have them to stay hydrated. I looked for a water fountain but didn't find one. Tomorrow's high is suspose to be 75 and if that's correct it will be a nice and welcome change.

Yes I'm addicted!!!

to my phone and not for you all think: talking.. for lots of other reasons. Today we headed over to the golf tournament. We knew going in that cell phones weren't allowed and that's no problem. I had already told both kids that we'd be unavailable during the day time in case they called and didn't reach each of us..Steph seems to think that if I don't answer my phone after a coulpe of attempts she needs to call Dad and report that I'm missing. I also let some family members know just in case they tried to reach us so I figured if anyone else called we'd just call back later.. so we leave our phones behind and head into the gates.. It wasn't long that I reached for my phone to check the time. Then again to look up a date on the calendar..then the time again. Then I thought of something funny and thought I should text Steph.
Can't no phone...so then I realized I use my phone for my watch, my day planner and my messages to the kids all without making a call. I'm lost without it and I'm doing it the rest of the weekend. I'll have to wear a watch, not worry about what day it is and keep my funny thoughts to myself all weekend.

Stephanie's Day and Ohio for a while

First of all: my baby turned 25 today. So Happy Birthday Stephanie.....She's like me with celebrating. One day just isn't enough. She's been partying since the weekend. She and a friend, Cass took a road trip to sightsee a town near Atlanta over the weekend. Then tonight Cass invited her over for Lasagna and a birthday cake.. I know she's having fun.
Today was a travel day for us. We packed up and left MI for Ohio. Believe it or not we actually planned this week of our summer back in Feb. We knew we'd be near here during Aug and Reid wanted to go to the golf tourney. So we planned this week and the other stops around it. The tourney is held in Akron. I should see some of the "big names" in golf this week. We went to our first tournament last yr and it was a lot of fun. I really didn't know what to expect but I had a good time. I told Reid to lead the way, it was his week and I'd happily follow him around. I was the one that wanted to see Lake Michigan and west MI so it's his turn to do what he wants too. I do like golf too so I know I'll have a good time. I plan on putting my golfing skills to use this fall when Bonnie and I start playing weekly. (pause for laughing)
I'll let you know what golfers I see.
