I might just as well say good afternoon because by the time I hit post it will be.

We had gone into town after the ladies got back. Esther, who owns “White Woods” had some sales on and Lu-Ann wanted to show me the double walled glass coffee mugs from Hencekels. The same folks who make knives. We headed downtown, got the mugs, had a little lunch and a glass of wine. Then the skies opened up! Like good bunnies we hightailed it to The Subie headed home. 

OK, history lesson. Named for all of the birch trees on the island White Woods in French is Bois Blanc. The English settlers had trouble with the pronunciation and it became (I bet Kathie knows) Boblo Island. For almost 100 years it was the site of an amusement park and home to one of the largest dance halls in North America. Because of segregation in America Boblo drew many top black and white entertainers as well as visitors from both sides if the border. There will be a test at the end. 

It seems the cost of food either in the grocery store or the restaurants is simply unavoidable. I’m sure you’ve all heard the old line “If we didn’t have to eat we’d be rich!”

We’re waiting for our dinner plate hibiscus bush to bloom Pat. Hard to believe it was just a couple of little “twigs” a year ago. Got all the trimming and front grass done this morning. Not much on tap the rest of the day.

I reckon cost plays into the recorded 21 gun salute and taps Dave. A shame really. It was purely by accident we saw Aretha’s resting place. One day we'll have to go back. 

Hopefully you will be able to sit in your preferred spot Nancy. 

By gosh now Karen, you seem to really have found a “home” with your new congregation. I hope they all know how lucky they are.

It‘s a beautiful morning to say farewell to Ronnie Kathie. We’re thinking of you.

Best get going. Being Monday it’s games day. A “tradition” from being online during Covid that has kept going but now in person.

Have a good day everyone.
