My 40th Birthday! and the Letter A

Thank you everyone for your calls, texts, cards and gifts. I have had a great birthday!

David took me out to breakfast this morning and we got a new letter in our Alphabet of restaurants! The letter "A"  for Athenian Shish Kebob. No we didn't have any shish kebob, although i find that a very strange name. David said it has changed owners several times and it's been 20 years since he was there and it had a different name. It sits on a corner that we travel by all the time so it's good we went in. Nice little restaurant.

Beautiful View

I can't help but post this picture, it was taken the weekend of Sept. 24th. David and I along with Kim and Katie went for a drive by the lake, on our drive back we rounding on of the curves and we saw this and everyone was in Awwww. I know the picture is not near as great as the actual moment. But it was a beautiful day and Lake St. Clair was gorgeous!

St. Judes Walk/Run 2016

This year for the St. Jude's Walk/Run Katie drove over for the weekend to join us! Even though i am no long with New York and company i had register for the walk since we had such a good time the last 2 years.

waiting for the walk to start!

Visit from Mom and Dad

The weekend of Sept 17th  Dad and Mom traveled to Cincinnati for a Baseball game and made us their stay over! It was great to have a few hours of each end with them. On Sat night when they got in  I surprised Mom with a Angel Food Cake and Ice Cream. It was nice to celebrate her birthday with her! (even if it was a week or so early)!

Visit South Haven Michigan

When David attended western he belonged to a Business Fraternity in which he had a "little'". The first week of  September one of his "little's", Ankit, came to the US. Yes he's originally from India, and this was the first trip to the US for his wife and the first time back in 8 years for Ankit. So David jumped at the chance for me to meet him as well as spend a few hours visiting. We drove over to South Haven and was able to do some geocaching as well and see a light hows.  

   Do we did not plan for them both to be wearing SuperMan Shirt! It was so funny!

 We also got a "B" Black River Tavern for our Alphabet!

We walked down to the lighthouse but they were working on restore it so we just took a selfie instead!

Labor Day

Since David and I both had Labor Day off we decided to get adventures! We drove up 94 highway to Fort Gratiot to the Lighthouse. We did some geocaching or at least tried. Not the most successful day for that. It was a warm one, and we eventually made our way back home, but not without a stop in Marine City. Where there was a nice ice cream shop!

 Not an actual lighthouse but still very cute! Marine City has a long boardwalk along the St. Clair River. That gets you close to the ships, on the other side of the ship is Canada.

We were getting her right before they closed! But it was really good ice cream, yes we forgot to take a picture of it. Sorry.

P is for Pop's Italian

To celebrate Penny's birthday (David's Mother) we went to a little italian restaurant over in the ferndale area that Eric and Sarah found. OH and it was soo good!  It was called  "Pop's Italian" David and I shared a personal pizza and a chicken parmason. I forgot to get a picture of the pizza but the chicken was huge and good!

Eric ordered a taste of wine, something the restaurant specializes in. This is often done for beer samples. He choose 4 different wines and each had a card explaining what type of wine it was.
