Great Weekend

We started out with a fabulous evening at Lori and Tim's. They hosted a party while the Greek Festival was going on in Saginaw. They live close to the festival and it was a really nice evening at their home. Most people started out at the festival to eat the yummy Greek food and then stopped over for good company and drinks at the house. While we were there we found out that Lori and Tim bought a home in the Cathedral District and Lori is in the midst of bringing it back to life. So....

On Saturday we stopped by - it is a home from my old neighborhood - just around the block from our Jefferson home on Millard. It used to have a doctor's office in one section of the home - and I even remember a sign back in the 60's that said "Laboratory" that used to hang on the porch. They have already made a dent in the trash that was left inside the home - it really will take years to be done. Pat is so happy to be able to help Lori with the plumbing. With so many of the walls opened up he will have an easier time putting in the pipes. While he was talking plumbing, I walked over to the Jefferson home - well - it's a mess. And Steve - the guy who is helping Lori get the house done said the roof is going and within a year if it isn't fixed the plaster in the home will rot. That is really sad. The backyard is full of weeds. The Lepeak (Leiberman) home is looking better. Flowers planted all around, cute wicker chairs in the backyard. Mrs. Odor's home looks very nice. The houses on Owen need lots of work and then back to Lori's home.

Then we decided to take flowers to our friend Barb - she just had surgery a few weeks ago and we just wanted to say hi and let her know we are thinking of her. We stopped at one place to buy flowers and I couldn't see inside the case because of moisture - the person working there said, it was too bad we couldn't see but that was how it was and she walked away! What is it with my florist problems in life? Then we stopped at Petal Pusher and bought the cutest little bucket filled with daisies. So then on to Tawas for a short visit - thankfully - Barb looks great and well onto her recovery.

We stopped at the St. Vincent de Paul, the Treasure Barn, and then on to Oscoda Flea Market - only found a few things. But it was a fun drive.

Today we will have some of Pat's family over for a cookout for Father's Day - how lucky we are to have such great fathers in this family.
