Cloudy, Gray, Showers All Day!

Dinner and Music at Pine Junction
I woke to a gray sky, a southerly wind, and rain, which I have to admit, I am enjoying after four weeks of sun and heat.  It's supposed to be this way for the next two days, clear up over the weekend.  Unfortunately, Tom is going to be at Cedar Point today and tomorrow, so they might now have ideal weather in that part  of Ohio.  Beth, Evie and I are sitting here trying to plan the next few days, what to do, what to have, and as usual, we end up with so many choices that we are all going nuts with trying to make a decision, kind of like the Congress trying to arrive at a debt ceiling proposal.  At the moment, it looks like salmon and garlic spinach, a visit to the Chautauqua Gorge on Saturday, when every one's here, and the Casino on Sunday for wings.  Tommy and Jill and families arrive on Friday afternoon, and Rami will be flying in as well, so for the first time in a couple of years, all the Dad's will be here.

Last night we went to Pine Junction, a biker/snowmobiler/yuppie bar out in the middle of nowhere(near Findley Lake), which we like.  On Wednesdays, they have a band from 6-9, we got there at 6:00, met Ron and Linda, and we all had a good time, and good dinners, mostly burgers for the guys, steak salads for the gals, some wings, and raspberry pies for dessert.  It was a lovely evening to eat outside on the patio, with the band playing about 45 feet away in the Pavilion.  They were quite good, able to play anything from Bruce Springsteen to Eric Clapton, to Credence.  Interestingly, a number of families were there with small children, probably because of the music, and a number of little 3-4 year old girls were out on the patio dancing to the music.  We stayed till just about 9:00 and drove home at dusk.  Marisa was really tired, so Evie took her up to bed, read her some Edward Learn, and I told her a 'bad boy' story before she fell asleep.

Kind of a nothing day, getting ready for everyone's arrival tomorrow; Beth and I did the  shopping at Sam's and Weggies and because she had a flat tire, we took it in and found that with car, because of the all wheel drive, you have to get four new tires, just putting on a new one won't do.  So we ordered for new ones, which we hard to find, but they got, so we will pick it up tomorrow.  Evie and girls swam, then I took Tyler to the gym for a work out, then home, and now we are all in the kitchen making pizzas, while the Beth and Marisa are making bracelets.
