The Man Cave !
The Rest of the group.We did as much as we could before the weekend since Ron's brother, John, and his wife, Pat, were coming down from Milwaukee on Saturday for the weekend. Had a great pizza at Aurelios on Saturday night. We'd planned on going to Oakbrook shopping on Sunday but the weather didn't cooperate shopping at an outdoor mall. The dark skies and ran kept us at home but no damage to our property we were thankful for.
Pat and I did manage to make some progress on our fall cruise. We booked plane reservations and a hotel for one night, looked at some excursions for each of the ports but decided to wait to book those till we each looked them over again with our spouses.
Sunday night was dinner at Syls in Rockdale. Their food always meets high standards and the staff were attentive but not hovering.
Monday morning arrived bright and sunny. Happy for clear skies and no rain in sight. A quick breakfast of sweet rolls and coffee and then the work began. Thanks to John and Pat's help we got the screen room up, beverages iced and the buffet table set before anyone arrived. The chef cooked some great brats, hot dogs and hamburgers. Picture taking and baby holding was plentiful. Met some new girlfriends, new boyfriends and a new great grand baby. As stories flew back and for the new members of the family pondered what they had gotten themselves into but seemed to be willing to return someday. What food left was divided up and sent home but not a lot of that either. It was a glorious day. God Bless America
Hey, is that Ron of Arabia on the right in The Man Cave? Are you going to bring it to CCRV for the next season? Guess it wouldn't be much good with all the wind and really not many bugs to keep out.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great Memorial Day, or Declaration Day for us old timers.
