Morning all,
Guess you all must be sleeping in today. Good day for it, as it's a cloudy, dark and wet morning here. But we need the rain, so no complaints. Been coming just enough to keep things watered and growing nicely. I took my hanging baskets down from my porch and set them out last night, so they can get a good drink of mom nature's water.
Yes, Sarah, gas in MI is over $4 a gallon, although a check on the Michigan Gas Prices website showed that the Detroit Metro area gas has come down into the $3.90 range now. It has dropped a bit up here as well, but is still holding at $4.28 here. Traverse City, where Maggie has to go, is now at $4.10. Maggie, you might want to check out "Michigan Gas Prices" on your computer before you head north. It will give you and idea of the prices in various towns.
Picnic table project was going along very well till I discovered the cross brace for the seats is a few inches too low. So will be raising that today. Other wise it's done except for that and the seat installation. Then will fill in the screw holes with wood filler and sand down the whole works again, prior to varnishing. Will post picture after it's done.
Had a nice time on Saturday, watching the plans from the annual Splash In on Otsego Lake. It was a good day for it, cloudy, but calm. Watched take offs and landings, bomb drops and what not for awhile and the headed for home to work on the table some more. It's been a very nice weather pattern here for the past few days, especially yesterday. Perfect day actually.
So today's agenda has a little house pickum up, shopping, getting car plates renewed and then off to work on the table. Since it's going to be rainy, good day to do this stuff. Tomorrow I will be off with my neighbors church group that's going on a bus tour over to Traverse City. We are going up the Old Mission Peninsula to the Old Mission General Store, Lighthouse and also a stop at one of the local homemade ice cream places that's got quite a reputation up here. Talk about good Should be a fun trip. Leaving early, so won't be on tomorrow.
Hope you all have a inice day both today and tomorrow.
