I had the kids for the weekend and picked-up the kids from school on Friday afternoon. It was pouring rain at the school. We live about 5 mins south of school and no rain there, so we decided to go swimming for a while. Cable guy came and hooked-up cable and internet service late on Friday evening.
Saturday morning, my Mom and Sister came over, but the weather had turned pretty cold, so no swimming. We worked on cleaning-up some more from the move and I went to the grocery store to stock-up.
Sunday I had a fantasy football draft to go to and 15 mins before it was time to leave I got a call that there was to be a showing at the house in the afternoon. Ran around like a mad-man cleaning. Mom and sister were taking the kids to Mom's house later, so they finished cleaning-up and I met them all and my brother later in the day. Had fun at the draft party. Had a few beers and threw some horseshoes after the draft.
Monday we were supposed to go fishing on Lake Michigan, but the weather was too nasty. Hung out at Mom's while the kids played together. Early afternoon we walked out the pier to the lighthouse. I used to fish there when I was a kid. It's about a 1/2 mile walk out there and it reminded me of times when I was young and when W and I had walked out there early in our relationship. Made me feel kind of melonchaly. Watched some guys in a boat pull in a big king salmon, so that was kind of fun. There was also some kind of surfing event going on there and there were quite a few surfers with wet suits in the lake. That is some COLD water.
Was supposed to drop off the kids at 6pm, but they called Mom to see if they could hang out with me a while longer. They thought they might swim. They decided it was too cold to swim, but wanted to stay anyway, so I got them home by 7:30. Stopped by old neighbor for a quick beer and a chat. Got home in time to relax for just a bit and then hit the hay!
