TV Antenna No Longer



We have no need for this old antenna anymore. Time to trade it in to scrap.

Detroit Tigers Game - Sunday, July 12th

Sunday we went to a game with 39,680 other people. Alicia was happy because it was sunny and she had a tall pina colada.



Tigers won 10-1, If you look closely at the scoreboard it is 10-0 in the 6th inning. Justin Verlader notched his 10th win of the season and was lights out through 7 innings shutting out the indians and striking out 8. Clete Thomas nearly hit for a cycle missing out only on a double.




Roar!

Grand Haven / Muskegon

A friend turned me on to John Legend, and while I was surfing the web I found that he was in town Saturday. Amazingly tickets were reasonably priced and still available, so I planned a mini getaway for Matt and I. We arrived Saturday afternoon, ate a wonderful lunch(on a roof top patio overlooking the harbor in Grand Haven), did some window shopping and then set out in seach of quiet waters. The state & city parks were way over crowded. From research the night before I found a place that sounded like it was "Off the beaten path" -- Rosy Mound nature area. A short .7 mile walk through the woods, up and down stairs. We found our quiet water oasis. Ahhhhh..... Lake Michigan. It was a perfect day, warm but not too hot. We walked along the beach, snapped a few photos, took a dip, and finished the day at a relaxing lakeside concert. The sky started to look dark and cloudy, we actually got sprinkled on for a short time, but the storm passed just south of us. After the show we walked through the attached carnival, ate some greasy food and I rode the Freak Out (Matt watched from the sideline). All in all it was a fun day!

what's going on around the yard

Each year it is my misson to improve on my little piece of land. My little santuary called our yard. If only I had the talent and the money to do more, I guess baby steps to get it to where I want. I do find joy in want I do have. Here's what's been going on. Huge bush being pulled out.

that thing was so ugly I'm so happy to have it gone.




My rose bush actually has roses this year
