Makers Fair and Greenfield Village

Every year GreenField Village puts on a makers fair. This year David and I went to it. He had gone several years a go but this was my first. It was pretty exciting. Lots of hands on booths for kids.They invited makers, inventors and science thinking possibilities to this plus a lot of food venders.  I think Maggie and Lanie would have loved it. Things to do and try and make. Not so much exciting for adults but it was fun to see.


A time machine that sprayed out bubbles. not sure you can see the bubbles.



A round house. kind of interesting.



new resturants.

David and I are out trying new restaurants.

Last week he took me to one he regular goes to we had burgers and fries and it was great really great. Some Irish place. Yes i forgot to take a picture i was so hungry and the food and company so good it slipped my mind. opps

David meets mom and dad

June 28th 2014

David and I drove up to my parents. We spent the 28, 29 and left the morning of the 30th it was a great weekend. We played cards, went to church, had a fire in the fire pit and took a walk down the rails to trails.  Not in that order necessarily but it was great. They like him, which make me like him more.

On the way home on the 30th we stopped in lansing for lunch to try a new restaurant that David had heard about Soup Spoon Cafe. The food was great but for some reason it seemed to take a LLLOOONNNNg time. and then the waiter who didn't write our order down couldn't remember part of davids so he got both sides of chips and coleslaw and he (the waiter) laughed and thought it was funny.  Then when David paid the pill he shorted him his change that did it we won't be back. Sorry little cafe we will find another one next time.


  There were crazy paintings on the wall and they were for sale. like $300. WOW
but i did like the light fixture. I think i have been to another restaurant that does this but i can't remember where.??

Another trip to Greenfield Village

Old time baseball game is what they called it. They played it at Greenfield Village every sat and sunday in the summer. It was really cool. The don't wear gloves because its not manly, and the baseball is a little different from the ones they use today. Here are some of the pictures.



The 2 teams were the La-de-da and the Nationals.They lined up and talked to us at the end of the game.

 This was one of two announcers who was walking around.


If you can see the players its first base.



Lah-de-dahs didn't do so well but it was fun to watch.

Isn't she cute

I just had to share. I woke up sunday morning and Mattie was laying there at the end of the bed sound to sleep.



Little bookstore

David told me about this used book store downtown that he thought i would like. He took me to John King books we went down there an hour and 1/2 before it close. The book store is 4 stories high and with a full basement full too... I can't wait to go back and spend a full day!!!Wow...Melissa all i could think of was how much you would love it too.
