Hello Everyone! The weatherman predicted rain this week and I guess he was finally right. It has been nonstop pouring. 🙁
I can’t believe Xmas is only 62 days away. I hope to plan early this year. We have a busy work week ahead of us, but let’s talk about what we have been up to. How was your weekend? Ours was busy as usual. We started our weekend with a play at the Fisher Theater in Detroit. The play was the latest from Andrew Lloyd Weber, Love Never Dies. To be honest with you we almost left at intermission. It was that bad. The performers were very good- it was the material/story that was bad. Nothing memorable, unlike the Phantom of the Opera. I will tell you this, the ending was a surprise- I won’t give it away, but I was stunned and Dave looked over at me and realized I was upset, so he put his forehead on my forehead and held my hand till I felt better. You know how you are connected to people and they can read your feelings- Dave did that at that moment and I felt soooo close to him for caring about my feelings so much.
On Friday Dave ran 4 miles outside and I did 45 mins. on the elliptical. Friday night we rode our bikes (14 miles) into Rochester to enjoy a beer at the B Spot, a Bell’s Best Brown and dinner at Chipotle’s. We love when we can ride our bikes to dinner. Even though it’s quite a few miles away, we would much rather get in some exercise, especially if we are including a good craft beer with our evening meal. When we got home from our ride we sat in the hot tub! We are loving the hot tub- our goal is to use it at least every other day. So far, so good!
Saturday we ended up going to Royal Oak Stagecrafters to see a play titled Detroit ’67. The acting was superb! We ate dinner at Lily’s and enjoyed another craft beer, New Holland’s Dragon’s Milk. We are really into the stouts right now.

| Also stopped in at the HopCat in Royal Oak. That would make three HopCat’s in 10 days, Detroit, Grand Rapids and Royal Oak. We shared a great stout, Ellison’s Tiramisu, sehr gut!! |
The stage for Detroit ’67
Sunday was spent with family at a celebration of birthdays! We got to meet the newest member of our family, Ethan. KJ loved holding his new cousin!!
This week already included a night in Ferndale looking over some new bands, a craft beer talk at a local library later in the week and parties over the Halloween weekend! I’m tired already, I think we might need to relax in the hot tub soon. 🙂
Is your week as busy? How do you manage your time when there are so many commitments? I’ll check back in on Thursday for a discussion on My Love of Cookbooks. 🙂
